Mazing is a visual commerce platform for furniture makers and retailers, combining AI-generated content, 3D product models, browser-based augmented reality, configurators and content management. It can produce lifestyle renderings and product videos, and create an initial 3D model with AI in about 30 seconds. Shoppers can open an AR experience from a QR code or web link without installing an app. Product options such as color, texture and geometry can be changed through Mazing’s interface or a customer’s own interface.

Mazing connects with Shopify, Shopware, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce and custom shops, and offers API and custom workflow options. It adds a visual layer to an existing store without changing the store structure, backend, payment system or checkout flow. The paid service supports Android, iOS and web and offers a 7-day trial, but no free plan. Starter is listed at $9,900 a month, Growth at $39,900 a month, and Scale at $94,900 a month. AI 3D optimization costs extra on Starter and Growth and is included on Scale.
