The invention discloses a search method of 3D model and device thereof. As stated in the invention, it transforms the query model and the object model into the set of 2D-slide polygons respectively; calculates the similarity between each 2D slice in the query model and the object mode by accumulating the similarities of all couples of 2D slices; and determines the search result according to the said total similarity. In accordance with the invention, it could be easily realize the search function of 3D model, and it is not sensitive to geometric noise, thus there's no need to look for the characteristic correspondence between models.
