Meshy has launched Meshy Edit, a tool that allows users to modify specific sections of 3D models using text prompts. The feature is available to all registered users and generates a new model version in approximately one minute.
Why it matters
The tool streamlines the 3D design workflow by automating localized edits that otherwise require time-intensive manual manipulation in software like Blender. This release targets a widening user base following the company's recent growth to $100 million in annual recurring revenue.
The Meshy Edit tool processes high-poly models generated by Meshy 6 or 7.1 at a cost of 20 credits per modification. It generates a revised model in approximately one minute, temporarily switching to untextured versions during the editing process.
The players
Meshy
A developer of AI-powered 3D modeling software that reached $100 million in annual recurring revenue as of September 2026.
a16z
A venture capital firm that tracks AI market performance and ranked Meshy 31st in its recent list of consumer AI apps by revenue.
The details
Users modify 3D assets by selecting specific areas with a Lasso or Brush tool before entering a plain language text prompt. The system then applies the requested changes to the selected region while maintaining the integrity of the surrounding geometry. This process abstracts the manual vertex and polygon adjustments typical of traditional 3D modeling environments.
Timeline
July 2026: Meshy raised $400 million in Series B funding.
September 2026: The company surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue.
October 5, 2026: a16z released its latest Top 50 consumer AI revenue report.
October 16, 2026: Meshy launched the Meshy Edit tool.
The Tech Race
Meshy's integration of text-based editing follows the industry trend of shifting 3D creation from expert-only environments to prompt-based interfaces. This feature directly competes with emerging AI-assisted modeling workflows to maintain its rank on the a16z Top 50 consumer AI list.
The tool is available immediately to all registered Meshy users through the platform's interface. Users can implement the editing feature on high-poly models created with version 6 or 7.1 at a cost of 20 credits per use.
The takeaway
Meshy's move to integrate prompt-based editing underscores the rapid automation of labor-intensive 3D modeling tasks. Users should monitor future updates to credit pricing and compatibility as the company scales its platform following its July 2026 funding round.
