Kaedim: our review
Kaedim converts a sketch, a product photo or a brief into a 3D model ready for a game engine, with a quality-control layer handled by in-house artists rather than by AI alone. No pricing or contract is public: everything goes through a quote.
What we take away from it
What counts in its favor
- An 'Artist-Assured' layer of in-house artists checks topology, UVs and materials before delivery — a quality control step missing from purely automated generators.
- The vendor states in writing on its security page that client files are isolated per project and never used to train a shared model, backed by an ISO 27001 certification.
- Named clients (Amazon, EA, CBS, Rebellion) attest to real production use, at the scale of established studios.
What counts against it
- No public rate card or terms of sale: impossible to know the price, the rights over the delivered model, or the fate of files on termination before starting a sales conversation.
- A 404 Media investigation published in 2023 revealed that Kaedim had a portion of its models made entirely by human artists paid $1 to $4 apiece, while presenting the service as automated by AI; the vendor has since acknowledged this publicly, but nothing today lets you verify the real share of AI in a given delivery.
- The export format is never named publicly (only 'game-ready'); the offer aimed at product design is itself presented as a step before CAD, not a substitute for a CAD file.
A useful service for a game studio that wants to outsource turning concepts into ready-to-use assets, as long as it accepts negotiating price and contract with no public grid, and keeps in mind that part of the work may stay human behind the AI label.

- No public terms detail a subprocessor; the claim about the absence of training comes from the site's security page, not from a public contract available before signing.
Kaedim in detail
Kaedim sells a simple promise to a game studio or a brand: upload a sketch, a product photo or a brief, and get back a 3D model ready to plug into a game engine or a production pipeline. The difference from a consumer-grade generator lies in the control layer that follows generation: an "Art Lead" and a team of in-house artists check the topology, the UVs and the rig before delivery, which the vendor calls an "Artist-Assured" production.
What Kaedim actually delivers
This is also the most debated part of Kaedim's history. A 404 Media investigation published in 2023 showed that the company had a significant share of its models, sometimes all of them, made by human artists paid between $1 and $4 per piece, while the site was at the time selling a "magic", automated AI conversion. The vendor has since changed its messaging and now openly presents its process as a mix of machine learning and an in-house artist workshop. The change in communication is real; what remains impossible to verify from the outside is the exact share of AI in any given order today.
What happens to uploaded files, and what the contract lacks
On file security, Kaedim claims ISO 27001 certification and states, on its dedicated page, that a client's inputs are isolated per project and never used to train a shared model. The problem isn't the content of that promise, but its backing: no public terms and conditions frame it legally, and there's no pricing grid to consult before starting a sales conversation. A company that wants to convert a prototype or a plan covered by trade secrecy must therefore obtain this commitment in writing, in the contract, before any upload — not rely on the marketing page alone.
Formats, and its actual place in the pipeline
Kaedim publishes no list of export formats: its documentation talks of files "ready for the engine", with no further detail before a sales contact. For product design, the vendor is in fact upfront about the limit: it positions its offer as a visualisation step before committing to CAD, not as a substitute for the CAD file a design office will use afterwards.
Our view
For a game studio with the volume to negotiate a bespoke contract and that values human quality control on the finish, Kaedim keeps its production promise. For a small outfit looking for a published rate or a no-commitment trial, it isn't the right candidate: everything starts with a quote. Our selection of 3D modelling tools lists generators with public pricing for comparison, and our audit and advisory engagements help prepare the clauses to require before signing a contract of this kind.
Who it's for, and who it isn't
Suited for
- A video game studio or VFX team that has the volume and budget to negotiate a custom contract, and values human quality control over topology and rigging
- An e-commerce brand that needs 3D product visuals at volume and can wait for a sales proposal rather than a listed price
Not a fit
- A small organization that wants to test at low cost or self-service: there's neither a free tier nor a public price, everything starts with a sales contact
- A design office looking for a directly usable CAD file: Kaedim itself presents its product design offer as a step before CAD, not a replacement
Frequently asked questions
- Is Kaedim still active in 2026?
- Yes: the site lists case studies, up-to-date documentation, an updated FAQ and named clients (Amazon, EA, CBS, Rebellion). Nothing indicates it has ceased operating, despite the lack of a public rate card.
- Is Kaedim a 100% AI tool?
- No, and the vendor hasn't claimed so since 2023: a 404 Media investigation showed that human artists made a significant portion of the models, sometimes entirely, under a brand sold as automated. Kaedim now openly presents its process as a mix of machine learning and an in-house artist studio.
- How much does Kaedim cost?
- No price is published: the vendor offers a custom quote based on the client's volume and needs, with no listed tier or self-service free trial.
- Are my submitted sketches or photos used to train Kaedim's AI?
- According to the vendor's security page, no: files are isolated per project and never used for a shared model. This claim comes from a marketing page, not a public contract — worth confirming in writing before any sensitive upload.
- Can I get a model ready for industrial CAD with Kaedim?
- No: Kaedim's product design offer presents itself as a visualization step before committing to CAD, not as a CAD file directly usable by a design office.
