3Dmuotoisia

3Dmuotoisia is a Finnish term used in design, manufacturing, and 3D imaging to describe objects that have three-dimensional form. It emphasizes volumetric geometry over flat representations, and is commonly applied to 3D models, printed parts, product designs, and packaging to distinguish tangible, spatial objects from two-dimensional illustrations.

Etymology and usage: The term combines the international 3D prefix with the Finnish adjective muotoisia, the partitive plural form of muotoisa/muotoinen meaning shaped or formed. In Finnish sentences it usually modifies plural nouns in partitive, for example 3Dmuotoisia esineitä ('3D-shaped objects').

Context and scope: While kolmiulotteinen is a general Finnish word for 'three-dimensional', 3Dmuotoisia is more particular to cases that reference 3D appearance in a design or technical brief, especially in CAD, 3D printing, and product catalogs. It can convey a focus on the object's form rather than its dimensions alone.
