THAT is a true “conversational” design system. And I don’t think it is

but I doubt anyone has yet applied it to 3D modeling for manufacturing.

Have you tried?


The model railway guys have been doing this, using Meshy.ai

In that particular case, the figures went from a short description to a finished part cast in stainless steel, so no CAD and no machining.

The instructions used to create the figures is very short, and I have seen photos of coach loads of passengers (all different) created using this software. Its a bit like the minimal instructions used to create artwork using any of the many AI 3D drawing programs. Type a simple description; refine the description; repeat until the results are as good as you need. That's something I have used several times for illustrations for a website. No need for stock photos, drawing, or photography. And its quick.

Its another example of a disruptive technology.
