The BeeGraphy Marketplace is a directory of customizable 3D models available for download, created by designers who had registered on the platform.
The models offered in the BeeGraphy marketplace are parametric. BeeGraphy sets itself apart from other marketplaces by providing customers with the unique opportunity to customize the 3D models by changing the parameters prior to downloading the models.
BeeGraphy Marketplace has foreseen categories for models from various industries, like architecture, furniture, automotives, jewelry, etc., but it's up to the designers to actually decide what kind of models to create and sell.
BeeGraphy does not create models for the marketplace. It's done by the designers, who use the BeeGraphy Editor. So the more designers join the community, the more frequently the new models will appear.
Absolutely. Each 3D model available for purchase on our marketplace comes with a license agreement that permits commercial use. So, you can confidently incorporate the purchased model into your commercial projects without any legal concerns.
Right now, the downloads are available in the following formats: STEP, OBJ, DXF, STL, Text, and IGES.
At BeeGraphy, we understand the importance of quality, and to help our customers make informed purchasing decisions. Firstly, we offer a preview feature, which allows users to examine the model before making a purchase, to assess that the model is of proper production quality. Additionally, we're developing a rating and review system that enables users to verify the quality of 3D models.
Unfortunately, modifying parameters that were not anticipated by the model designer is not possible through the configurator. However, you can always leave a comment for the designer detailing the specific changes you require. The designer may then consider revising the model to meet your needs.
The duration for receiving the purchased 3D model largely depends on the size of the file and the speed of the user's internet connection. However, on average, this process should only take a few seconds.
BeeGraphy Marketplace accepts payment through popular methods such as PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard. As we strive to enhance our payment options, we plan to add more payment methods in the future.
The BeeGraphy Marketplace aims to serve two main purposes. Firstly, it provides creators of parametric models with a platform to market and sell their models while maintaining their adjustability. Secondly, it allows customers to customize the designs of their choice before purchasing them, providing a personalized experience to customers and enabling them to create unique and tailored 3D designs.
Create models using BeeGraphy Editor and publish them with a detailed description, specifying relevant categories, prices, and a few other characteristics.
It is technically not possible to upload models, so only models created using the BeeGraphy Editor can be sold on the marketplace. However, you can use models created outside the platform as reference to create a similar one in BeeGraphy Editor and sell it on the marketplace.
Yes, there may be restrictions on what can be sold on the BeeGraphy Marketplace. For example, items that are illegal, offensive, or infringe on the intellectual property rights of others may not be sold on the platform. It is recommended to consult the BeeGraphy Marketplace website or the terms of service for a complete list of restrictions and guidelines for selling models on the platform.
BeeGraphy charges a commission of 15% from the selling price of a model.
The money is wired to sellers immediately after a transaction.
The money is transferred to the seller's PayPal account. There is no wiring cost subtracted. However the amount transferred is less PayPal's acquiring costs and BeeGraphy's commission. E.g. if you sold a model worth $100, BeeGraphy will get $15, PayPal will get its acquiring costs and the rest will be transferred to your PayPal account. For details on PayPal costs you can check with PayPal. Our team will also be ready to help with the explanations. What BeeGraphy to reduce your costs per your request we can help you get micro-transaction commissions.
No, there is no minimum set.
No, buyers cannot download the script or algorithm behind the parametric models created on BeeGraphy. Instead, when a model is purchased, the buyer receives a static version of the model with the input parameters they defined during the purchase process.
Customer reviews can increase the credibility and visibility of your creator account and your models.
No, only those who have purchased the models can leave reviews. However, visitors can still leave comments and ask questions about the models.
