Polywerk 3d

What Polywerk 3d does

Polywerk3D OÜ is a privately held, full-service 3D studio founded in 2017 in Tartu, Estonia, by Tartu Art College alumni Oskar Narusberk and Urmet Ivask. The company operates four integrated service lines from a single studio at Narva mnt 101, Tartu: (1) 3D design and modeling using Blender, Maya, ZBrush, Houdini, and Substance Painter; (2) photorealistic product visualization (renders, animations, 360° views, and interactive configurators) for e-commerce and marketing; (3) game and VR/AR development using Unity and Unreal Engine; and (4) in-house FDM (Bambu Lab) and SLA (Elegoo) 3D printing across more than 30 materials, including engineering filaments and resins. An in-house instant quote engine auto-slices uploaded STL/OBJ/3MF/STEP files and returns exact pricing, and Anthropic Claude AI is used internally for AI-assisted quote generation and project planning.

The business generates revenue through three primary streams: project-based 3D design and visualization work (modeling from €43/hour, product renders from €150, animations from €500, game assets from €100–€500+), per-unit 3D printing (FDM from €10, SLA from €22, with volume discounts from five pieces), and post-processing/finishing services. Pricing is inclusive of 24% Estonian VAT, with 30–50% advance payment terms and a 14-day payment term for business clients. The go-to-market combines a self-serve e-commerce instant-quote funnel, direct project inquiry via contact form/email/phone, multilingual web presence in Estonian, English, Russian, and Finnish, parcel-machine delivery via Omniva (domestic Estonia) and DPD (cross-border to Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland), and a modest paid-acquisition layer via Meta Pixel and SEO-driven blog content. Customers include Estonian National Opera, HUUM, Futuclass/Futuruum, the Estonian Safety Investigation Centre (MS Estonia digital replica), Yolo Entertainment, Baltic Loghouse, Somatec, Provest, and Tallinn Art Hall, alongside an individual-consumer print-on-demand base.

The company has 11 team members and claims 600+ completed projects since founding. It is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no institutional investment or parent-company ownership identified. End-to-end capability from digital concept to finished physical part, combined with an Estonian talent base anchored by Tartu Art College alumni, defines the company's structural positioning in the regional 3D services market.

Revenue model

1. Project-Based 3D Design and Visualization Services: Custom 3D modeling, product visualization, animation, and game development services billed per project. Projects are scoped individually — clients receive a fixed price quote or hourly rate after describing their project. 3D modeling is priced from €43/hour; product renders from €150; animations from €500; game assets from €100 (props) to €500+ (characters with rigging).
2. 3D Printing (FDM and SLA): Physical 3D printed products sold directly to customers. Customers upload 3D files or commission designs, select material and quality tier, and pay per printed item. FDM prints start at €10 (PLA), SLA at €22 (standard resin). Volume discounts from 5 pieces. Revenue is transaction-based per print job.
3. Post-Processing and Finishing Services: Optional add-on services including sanding, painting, chemical smoothing (ABS), heat treatment, and assembly for printed parts. Billed as part of the overall project or as a separate line item.
