From pixels to prints – CGTrader turns ideas into reality at Maker Faire Rome 2025

Discover how CGTrader transforms 3D design at Gazometro Ostiense!

At Maker Faire Rome 2025, CGTrader will invite visitors to explore the world where digital imagination becomes physical reality. With a selection of 3D-printed models and an interactive quiz open to everyone, CGTrader’s booth will be a place to experience, learn, play, and win a 3D printed design.

The company’s presence at the fair reflects its mission: to connect designers, makers and businesses in one creative ecosystem, where 3D design is not just a technical process but a form of accessible, global collaboration.

A global platform for 3D models

CGTrader was founded in 2011 with the idea that 3D models should be accessible to everyone. Today, it has grown into one of the largest 3D marketplaces in the world, with a community of more than 13 million users – artists, designers, developers and makers who share and sell their work. The platform hosts over two million 3D models for different uses: from product visualization and gaming to AR/VR, architecture and 3D printing.

For many, CGTrader is the place where creativity and technology meet. Designers can upload and sell their 3D creations, while makers, engineers and businesses can find models for their projects. It’s a space that encourages collaboration – and that’s exactly what CGTrader hopes to highlight at Maker Faire Rome 2025.

A Booth where you can see and touch 3D art

Visitors to the CGTrader booth will find 3D-printed models on display, created by talented artists from our global community. These models are examples of the range and quality of work available on CGTrader. Attendees are welcome to take a closer look, examine how they were printed and even handle them to feel the detail and craftsmanship.

Alongside the displays, CGTrader will host a short quiz where visitors can test their 3D printing knowledge and win small prizes. It’s an easy, light-hearted way to learn something new and connect with others who share an interest in design and making.

Connecting buyers and sellers in the 3D printing World

3D printing has made it easier than ever to bring digital ideas into physical form. But finding the right models, designs and creators can still be a challenge. That’s where CGTrader plays a key role – by helping buyers and sellers find each other.

For buyers, CGTrader marketplace offers access to a wide variety of 3D models ready for printing or customization. Many models are created specifically with printability in mind, making it easier to find designs that work well in different materials and scales.

For designers, CGTrader is a platform to share their work with a global audience, gain recognition and earn income from their skills. Many artists also use the marketplace to learn from feedback, connect with clients and grow professionally.

At Maker Faire Rome 2025, CGTrader wants to meet both sides of this community – the people who make and the people who print. Their booth is a place to start those conversations and to share what’s possible when creative collaboration goes digital.
