Meshy, the leading generative AI platform for 3D model creation, has integrated its Image-to-3D tool directly into Bambu Lab's MakerWorld MakerLab. This allows users to generate print-ready 3D models from any photo or image in minutes, without the need for CAD software or modeling experience. Meshy has also updated its Multi-Color Printing feature to automatically map complex textures into precise color zones compatible with Bambu Lab's AMS multi-filament system, eliminating the need for manual coloring in slicing software.

Why it matters

This partnership between Meshy and Bambu Lab aims to democratize 3D modeling and printing, making it accessible to a wider range of hobbyists, makers, and creators. By embedding Meshy's powerful AI-driven tools directly into the MakerWorld platform, Bambu Lab is removing key barriers that have historically prevented many users from creating their own 3D printed objects.

The details

Meshy's Image-to-3D tool, powered by the company's latest Meshy-6 engine, can convert any photo or image into a high-quality, print-ready 3D model in minutes, directly within the browser. Users can access this tool through the MakerLab section of the MakerWorld platform, with no software installation required. In addition, Meshy has updated its Multi-Color Printing feature to automatically map complex textures into precise color zones that are compatible with Bambu Lab's AMS multi-filament system. This eliminates the need for manual coloring in slicing software, allowing users to simply export a .3MF file from Meshy and drag it directly into Bambu Studio for a streamlined printing workflow.

  • Meshy's Image-to-3D tool is now available in the MakerLab section of the MakerWorld platform.
  • Meshy's updated Multi-Color Printing feature is now live on meshy.ai.

What they’re saying

“I took a photo of my cat, used Meshy's Image-to-3D feature right inside MakerWorld, and had a print-ready 3MF file in under two minutes. The model came out exactly as I expected — my Bambu Lab X1C handled the rest. I've been 3D printing for years and this is genuinely the fastest I've ever gone from idea to finished object.”
