SAM 3D Objects

Meta
by Meta

SAM 3D Objects is a foundation 3D model from Meta that reconstructs full 3D shape geometry, realistic texture, and scene layout of objects from a single RGB image. It produces high-fidelity 3D meshes robustly even in cluttered, occluded real-world scenes, and significantly outperforms prior single-image 3D methods. SAM 3D Objects is part of the broader SAM 3D family, enabling 2D-to-3D reconstruction workflows for visualization, AR/VR, robotics, and digital content creation.

SAM 3D Objects

API Options

Platform-level options for task execution and delivery.

taskType

string required value: 3dInference

Identifier for the type of task being performed

taskUUID

string required UUID v4

UUID v4 identifier for tracking tasks and matching async responses. Must be unique per task.

outputType

string default: URL

3D output type.

Allowed values 1 value

outputFormat

string default: GLB

Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.

  • `GLB`: Binary glTF format for 3D models, including geometry, textures, and PBR materials.
Allowed values 1 value

webhookURL

string URI

Specifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

deliveryMethod

string default: async

Determines how the API delivers task results.

Allowed values 2 values
Returns complete results directly in the API response.
Returns an immediate acknowledgment with the task UUID. Poll for results using getResponse.

uploadEndpoint

string URI

Specifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.

Common use cases:

  • Cloud storage: Upload directly to S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using presigned URLs.
  • CDN integration: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution.
// S3 presigned URL for secure upload
https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600

// Google Cloud Storage presigned URL
https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789

// Custom storage endpoint
https://storage.example.com/uploads/generated-image.jpg

The content data will be sent as the request body to the specified URL when generation is complete.

ttl

integer min: 60

Time-to-live (TTL) in seconds for generated content. Only applies when outputType is URL.

includeCost

boolean default: false

Include task cost in the response.

numberResults

integer min: 1 max: 4 default: 1

Number of results to generate. Each result uses a different seed, producing variations of the same parameters.

Inputs

Input resources for the task (images, audio, etc). These must be nested inside the inputs object.

inputs » image

image

string required

Image input (UUID, URL, Data URI, or Base64).

inputs » mask

mask

string required

Image used to specify which areas of the seed image should be edited (UUID, URL, Data URI, or Base64).

Generation Parameters

Core parameters for controlling the generated content.

model

string required value: meta:sam@3d

Identifier of the model to use for generation.

Learn more 3 resources

Text prompt describing elements to include in the generated output.

seed

integer min: 0 max: 9223372036854776000

Random seed for reproducible generation. When not provided, a random seed is generated in the unsigned 32-bit range.
