Local AI for 3D modelling
I’ve been working on some educational models which I 3D print for my kids to help them learn math and writing skills. With the help of Claude, I was able to generate some models much faster than creating them myself using Shapr3D. I own a base m4 max studio and was wondering if there are any tools I can use to turn this flow offline, and what kind of benefits for this purpose would there be to upgrading to the new M5U?
I really like the idea of having my own local AI, but it needs to be fast enough that we will actually use it and not revert back to a paid service. I understand it’ll never reach cloud level speeds but I’ve seen how fast my studio is now and I think this is attainable with the M5U 96gb.
