Stability AI, the startup behind the text-to-image AI model Stable Diffusion, thinks 3D model creation tools could be the next big thing in generative AI. At least, that’s the message it’s sending ...

The next breakthrough to take the AI world by storm might be 3D model generators. This week, OpenAI open sourced Point-E, a machine learning system that creates a 3D object given a text prompt.

For fabrication, a 3D STEP file would be more useful than a 2D centerline sketch. Export as STEP AP214, and you can include ...

A growing number of AI-driven 3D modeling tools produce visually striking results, but many outputs fail basic print-readiness tests due to mesh flaws like holes, inverted normals, or thin walls.

The process of creating 3D models from 2D images has traditionally been associated with expensive software and advanced technical skills. However, Trellis, a free AI-powered tool, has transformed this ...

Choosing the right 3D model can make or break your printing experience. Platforms like MakerWorld now offer curated, quality-checked designs with helpful tips for success. Whether you’re a beginner or ...

Adding textures is a great way to experiment with giving 3D prints a different look, and [PandaN] shows off a method of adding a wood grain effect in a way that’s easy to play around with. It involves ...

In this post, we are going to discuss how to edit OBJ files and models in Windows 11/10. OBJ is a 3D file format developed by Wavefront Technologies. It is used to store 3D models designed by ...

Use a 3D model when your document needs to display different perspectives of the same graphic in Microsoft Word. Microsoft 365 applications can fake 3D shapes and letters, but the effect is often less ...
