Questions

FAQ

How do I call Meshy 7.1 Text to 3D through SandBase?

Create a SandBase API key, then send requests with the model ID "meshy/7.1/text-to-3d" to Unified Run API (/v1/run) at https://api.sandbase.ai. The request examples on this page show the exact payload.

Do I need a separate Meshy account?

No. One SandBase API key and balance gives you access to Meshy 7.1 Text to 3D and the other models in the catalog; you do not need to sign up with Meshy separately.
