New plugin print3d uses AI to reverse-engineer objects into 3D printable designs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Marco Franzon, a developer from Verona, has created print3d, a free open-source plugin. This tool enables AI agents to reverse-engineer physical objects into printable designs for Bambu Lab printers. Instead of generating 3D models from text, print3d uses AI to write and debug Blender scripts, which are then processed by Bambu Studio and compared to a reference photo for accuracy. AI
