Anyone gotten usable STL files from product photos using AI?
Hi Everyone and Co-Agent Users! So I've been down this rabbit hole for about a week now. I have a handful of product photos (think small consumer electronics housings and some custom brackets) and I want to turn them into printable STL files without learning Fusion 360 from scratch.
I've seen a bunch of "image to 3D" tools pop up over the last year or so but honestly most of the results I've gotten look like melted Play-Doh when I load them into my slicer. The geometry is never watertight, there's weird artifacts on flat surfaces, and forget about anything resembling accurate dimensions.
Has anyone here actually gone from a product photo → usable STL → successful print without spending 4 hours fixing the mesh in Meshmixer afterward? I'm not expecting perfection, I know I'll probably need to do some cleanup, but I'd like to at least start with something recognizable.
I have multiple angles for most of these products (front, side, back, top-down). Willing to pay for something that actually works. What's everyone using these days?
