What makes the CBOs 3D Editor different from a mockup generator?
The CBOs 3D Editor is built for headwear development, not simple flat logo mockups. Beginners and brands can create or upload artwork, drag it onto a 1:1 3D cap model and work with cap materials, artwork placement, embroidery effects, rhinestones, metallic pins and visual references before sampling or production.
How does real-time artwork placement work?
Real-time artwork placement lets beginners and brands drag logos and graphics across the front, sides, back and brim while checking scale, spacing and balance against the curves and panels of the 1:1 cap model.
Where do the graphics for the 3D cap come from?
Graphics can come from the CBOs 2D Editor or from files a brand already has. Brands can create logos, text layouts and cap artwork in the 2D Editor, then place those graphics onto the 3D cap to check scale, position and overall direction before rendering or sampling.
Can CBOs preview rhinestones, metallic pins and embroidery?
CBOs is designed to preview premium cap details such as rhinestones, decorative stones, metallic pins, custom accessories, flat embroidery, 3D puff and patch-style decoration effects.
Can brands test cap materials in 3D?
The 3D workflow helps brands explore cap colors, fabrics, panels and construction details before moving toward sample review or production planning.
Which hat styles are supported by the CBOs 3D Editor?
The CBOs 3D Editor focuses on custom cap styles such as snapbacks, 6-panel caps, 5-panel caps, trucker caps, dad hats, fitted caps, rope caps and performance cap directions.
Does a 3D cap design replace a physical sample?
A CBOs 3D design does not replace a physical sample. It helps clarify artwork placement, materials, decoration details and proportions before sampling, while a physical sample is still needed to check fit, fabric feel, construction and final decoration quality.
How can a 3D cap design help production?
A clearer 3D cap reference can reduce misunderstandings around placement, scale, materials and decoration details when the project moves into sampling or production review.
Can I order 1 sample from a CBOs 3D cap design?
Yes. After the cap direction is reviewed, CBOs can move the 3D design into 1 physical custom cap sample before 50+ piece production.

The CBOs 3D Editor is web-based, so it can be used across mobile, tablet and desktop devices without installing heavy design software. CBOs is also available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad users.
Is CBOs a custom cap design tool or only a viewer?
CBOs is a custom cap design tool. It is built to help brands make decisions about cap style, artwork placement, materials, decoration, renders, sample review and production rather than only viewing a static mockup.
Can a 3D cap design become launch renders?
