Abstract: A computer-implemented method of transferring a 3D model displayed on a mobile device to a target device is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of detecting at a mobile device a trigger operation for activating a model transfer application to transfer a 3D model, scanning by the mobile device a matrix barcode displayed at a target device, decoding a target identifier from the matrix barcode scan, initiating a distant transfer action using a remote server using the target identifier and a model identifier of the 3D model, and downloading from the remote server to the target device the 3D model files associated to the model identifier.
