Overview
SAM 3D is an independent third-party platform that makes Meta's SAM 3D Objects and SAM 3D Body models accessible for single-image 3D reconstruction workflows. It provides practical tools and APIs so developers and creators can use SAM 3D technology without managing complex research code and infrastructure.
Key Features
- SAM 3D Objects — Reconstructs general 3D objects and scenes from a single image, capturing geometry, texture and layout
- SAM 3D Body — Specializes in accurate 3D human body pose and shape estimation from a single photo
- API Integration — Exposes SAM 3D capabilities through APIs for easy plug-in into existing applications and pipelines
- Multi-format Export — Supports GLB (web/games), OBJ (3D software), PLY (point clouds), and USDZ (Apple AR)
- Wide Compatibility — All exported formats work with Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine and other 3D applications
Use Cases
- Automate 3D asset creation for games and virtual environments
- Add 3D reconstruction features inside products using SAM 3D Objects and Body
- Generate 3D models from product photography or real-world scenes
- Create AR-ready assets with USDZ export for Apple platforms
Technical Details
- Input formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP
- Works best with natural lighting and clear views, but handles reasonable occlusion and clutter
- Single image input required — no multi-view setup needed
