Top Next Gen AI 3D Model Generators: Tested for 3D Printing

I take a look at the latest AI tools that create 3D models, and test them for their performance with 3D printing.

The featured tools are:

I think it is safe to say that I’ll be sticking to Rodin

[lexdysic]

I can't wait for the inevitable rain of garbage AI Model flooding printables and thingaverse with comments like. I made this cool thing. Give me points for free filament.

[tuseroni]

really impressed with rodin, i have been waiting for some time to have good high quality 3d models from text and/or images. i will be playing with this for certain.

Im speechless how fast this is progressing.

[coledavidson]

6:32 this already seems impossibly good to me wtf. It actually interprets what the image SHOULD be in 3D exactly as you'd expect.
12:50 THIS is more what i thought would be the best we could get. Blobs, random wrinkles, dudes melting into chairs, etc.

I'm always astonished with how fast progress is being made in this field

[MeshyAI]

Thanks for testing Meshy! We've recently updated the Hard Surface Mode in Image to 3D. This enhancement significantly improves the mesh quality of hard surface models, making them ideal for 3D printing. We invite you to try it out and share your feedback!

[catdisc]

The fact that one of them offered a riggable character makes me wonder how many low budget games will use AI generated characters in the near future

[iaincampbell]

At least on Cura and probably other slicers you don't need to cut objects that aren't flat to get a flat surface for printing. Simply set the orientation to the way up you want then set the z head to a small negative, any part of the model below the xy plane gets cut at that point when slicing and will have a flat bottom...yet I've seen so many people say to get round this by cutting models in mesh mixer...unless you're sharing it on for others that don't know this trick don't waste your time!

[pashamad]

Wow, that was a great comment about AI and humans. I totally agree!

[technodrone]

3d ai studio is worthless. cant even see what it can do without forking over 15 bucks. all of these failed my voronoi balogna test. copilot passed but it wont give you a model

[mikebrave-makesgames]

I'm not surprised they struggled with the word stetson, it's not a word we use much in the US, and if in theory their training data was mostly US -english centric then it would be a word not represented much.

[luistarlarry]

My neighbour asked me the other day "Why would I spend money on any AI-created product when I know I can generate mine just as easily?". Watching this video, those words are starting to sink in. Can't wait for these tools to get even better.

[jhgpsimons]

Thanks, very nice test and you wend through the complete process including printing the models. I learned a lot from this, and I am sure going to give these AI generators a try.

[sbragaglia]

I agree to disagree: Symbolic AI (of Alan Turing type) manipulates symbols according to rules or constraints to generate valid original combinations (new output)…
Anyway your video is original and quite interesting!

[english_breakfastwo]

I appreciate the intro so much. The matter of originality has been bothering me in the back of my mind as I was thinking of using AI generation for my 3D model generation.

[TC-dkdo]

Thanks for the video . Question.. do any of the products tested have the ability to separate objects. Like you robot on the throne. So you could separate the throne from the robot for better printing. Thanks.

[Dan_Tasty]

Another "prompt engineer". cool

[oljobo]

Wonderful video - again! Thank You!
I love your tempo, your style, your way of explaining… It is •Just Very Good• !
And… the content is very interesting and has top value as well.

I loved your video. Can’t believe how good the best version was. Also you gave me an excellent introduction to tools I was completely unaware of, given my 3D printing journey only began two weeks ago. Excellent work. Thanks.

[gabrielsandstedt]

Please compare it to Tripo 2.0, I think its even better
