Photo to CAD AI Designer

Photograph the part with a tape measure in frame. We work out its shape, estimate its size, and ask you to confirm the two dimensions that matter. Then you get a model you can adjust number by number, and quote.

Already have a mesh? Turn an STL, OBJ or PLY into a solid STEP. No photographs needed.

A photo can be read, not measured. Even against a tape, our estimates are within about 10%. That is why we ask you to confirm two driving dimensions before building anything, and why every number stays editable afterwards. Anything under 1 mm is flagged as not machinable or printable.
Not for ITAR or export-controlled parts. Photos and video sent here are read by outside AI services, so nothing export controlled may be uploaded. For controlled work email sales@digiforgemfg.com and we will arrange a controlled transfer.

1. Add photos and a turntable video

Drop everything in one place: up to six photos (JPEG or PNG) and, if you have one, a clip of the part turning (MP4 or MOV). A level photo of the front is the one you will measure on. For the inside of the part, add square-on photos looking into every opening: top, bottom, back. How to film the turntable video (80 s).

What kind of part is this?
Add at least one photo or a video.
Tips for photos that measure well

Straight on, from above, the front and the right side, the whole part in frame on a plain lighter background, ruler beside the part rather than across it. The outline of each square-on photo becomes the outer shape of the model; the AI then only cuts the features into it. For the video: part upright on a turntable, phone level with it, one slow even turn; close is fine, perspective is worked out from the clip. Windows and slots you can see through are cut out wherever the clip shows the background through them.

What the pipeline is doing

Waiting for photos…

Live output. First it reads the photos and writes its questions; after you answer, it writes and checks the model.
