ProBuilder is a Unity Package that can be added to Unity projects that allow users to quickly create 3D models in the Unity Editor. ProBuilder has a suite of tools that will be familiar to 3D artists like extrude, inset, delete faces and so much more. ProBuilder is primarily used by artists and designers to prototype levels. This can help speed up games because designers no longer have to wait for an artist to create a block out of a Scene.
