Carveco’s Upcoming Carveco AI Tool Lets You Touch Memories
New AI tool from the Carveco CAM software team crafts machinable 3D reliefs from images or prompts, no experience necessary.
As software launches go, Carveco is embarking on something a little different for the imminent September release of Carveco AI. A one-day exhibit at London’s OXO2 arena titled Touch: Beyond Vision hopes to convey the human element of the company’s latest product, which can automatically transform photographs into 3D model bas reliefs that can be 3D printed or machined.
Archiving and accessibility are the two big areas Carveco sees as beneficiaries of such a tool. The exhibit, taking place in London’s Southbank on September 15, focuses on reliefs of historical figures, art, and personal photographs, bringing experiences and media that are inherently visual, to the sense of touch.
The company describes its tool as different to that of lithophane generation tools, which use greyscale of an image to give the illusion of depth through light transmissivity. It’s worth noting this is also how the Carveco Maker software currently generates reliefs from images.
Instead, Carveco AI can “interpret photographic detail, depth, and context in ways that were previously impossible with greyscale” says a release detailing the new tool and exhibit. It goes on to explains that, with it, “what once took hours of expert work can now be done with a single image.”
A creative counterpart to this is Carveco AI’s prompt-to-relief mode that, much like any other prompt-to-image AI tools, takes your text input and generates a selection of images for you to choose from. Carveco AI can then take this image and create the relief.
Carveco AI will be accessible within all plans of Carveco and Carveco Maker, although credits, sold separately, are required to “buy” AI processing requests. You can read more about it and the company’s new pricing structure on the Carveco website.
