When AI tools are designed with a gender, they don't just encode gendered values they also encourage users to engage with them in biased ways.

Fabbaloo's Kerry Stevenson asks whether AI generators could make 3D model repositories redundant. Prusa's Printables lets users hide AI models, while Bambu Lab's MakerWorld pushes the other way with its Aimia hub, bundling five generators including Meshy, Tripo and Hi3D. His warning: AI parts are rarely accurate or strong enough for engineered use. https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/could-ai-generators-eventually-replace-3d-model-repositories #3Dprint #3Dprinting #AIDesign

3Dnatives Lab ran Meshy Edit, the AI model editor launched on 16 October, through 36 edits on 11 models to see whether AI can repair one part of a print without wrecking the rest. Small swaps kept over 90 per cent of the surface within 0.25 mm of the original, while tall pointed shapes, large clothing areas and removals from dense meshes mostly failed. https://www.3dnatives.com/en/3dnatives-lab-meshy-edit-04112026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #AIDesign
