This is a game changer, all the models before that output meshes were a toy at best. Super excited to see where they can take this.
I wander if the next step is for a step -> proprietary format (SolidWork, NX etc) model that can infer constraints.
- rkagerer 1y agoI agree, even if it just does a decent job of creating sane STEP geometry out of 3D scan meshes it would be a huge win.
- elcritch 1y agoI’d pay a subscription for that. There are so many hobbyist 3D printing things I’d like to do around my abode by taking some existing piece and tweaking it. Creating a model for a one off part is pretty tedious though.
- jwr 1y agoI think the bar is even lower than that: generating sane STEP geometry from STL files generated by other CAD software is already a huge win. Autodesk Fusion pretends to be able to do that, but it only works for easy demos.
- pranavp99 1y agoThanks for this! We are actively considering this in our next model. What did you have in mind specifically?
