«Lately we've been using this service more often than the foreign ones»

«I did nothing to the model at all. As soon as it generated, I sent it straight to print. I used a text prompt. I think it turned out really great»

«I've tried every generator except Sloyd, and I can say aiprintgen is the best. I took 4 photos and ran them through almost every generator available. All of them except printgen produced a model with artefacts I'd have had to fix in Blender. This one got it right straight away. I only had 2 angles, so instead of the side views I didn't have I uploaded what I did — and it still managed an almost perfect model from two views. The other generators produced complete rubbish from two views. In short, aiprintgen makes excellent models for 3D printing, the interface isn't cluttered, it's simple and clear, and I already recommend it to everyone I know. Not the most important thing, but a nice bonus: the menu is in Russian»

«As a wood sculptor, the program helps a lot in this area: even when we ask for a rough, dynamic sculpture, we get a picture and a 3D model as an example»

«Blok, Pasternak, Mayakovsky and Bulgakov with Mandelstam all came out well for me. Some from 1 photo, some from 4. I'm not too demanding, and it's fine for me»
