From photo to printable part: what image-to-3D can and cannot make

From photo to printable part: what image-to-3D can and cannot make Image-to-3D makes a pretty mesh, not a manufacturable part. A printable part needs geometry a slicer trusts: watertight, scaled, tolerant. Methodology •3 min 06/25/2026

SAM 3D Body: single image in, a riggable human out, and where it quietly breaks

SAM 3D Body: single image in, a riggable human out, and where it quietly breaks Meta's open SAM 3D Body rebuilds a full human mesh from one photo, runnable in your own pipeline. Pose-plausible, not metric-truthful. Research •3 min 06/25/2026

Image-to-3D with TRELLIS: 3D assets from a prompt

Image-to-3D with TRELLIS: 3D assets from a prompt TRELLIS turns one image or a prompt into a GLB 3D asset, MIT-licensed. What it nails, and the cleanup it still needs. Tools •5 min 06/19/2026
