Use AI to Create Your CAD Models - ChatGPT and Claude
From a description or reference image to a measured brief, an STL and a physical print - with ideas for things that fit exactly what you want.
About the demonstration. The prompt-entry and STL-revision scenes are illustrative animations. The detailed model preview and Bambu Studio import use an existing Anycubic Community STL prepared and scaled for the example. They are not a newly generated response to the animated prompt. The physical-print photo and footage were recorded by me.
01What the walkthrough covers
- Ideas beyond character models: a phone case, phone holder, vase, custom clamp or a holder shaped around your favourite cup.
- Writing a brief with reference views, exact dimensions, practical detail and a clear output format.
- Reviewing a model, preparing it in Bambu Studio and checking the physical print.
- Starting from an existing STL when the chat supports mesh inspection and editing.
