Summary: OpenAI’s new text-to-3D system: The dawn of voice-controlled CAD

OpenAI is making rapid advances in a new text-to-3D object system it’s been working on.

OpenAI’s earlier Point-E system generated 3D point clouds like these OpenAI

If you can talk to a computer and have it generate 3D models in response to natural language, then you’ll be able to talk to a GPT-like AI that’s capable of acting as a CAD designer.

Back in December last year – or about a billion years ago in the AI timeframe – OpenAI released its Point-E system, capable of taking a text prompt and using it to build rudimentary 3D models in the form of point clouds.

And of course, it’ll eventually interface with 3D printing, meaning that shapes conjured up by these AIs will most certainly be turning up in the real world once they’re getting done at higher quality.

The Shap-E AI, available as an open-source download, can generate 3D assets straight from a text description, or build them from supplied images.
