Student Uses AI and a 3D Printer To Do Their Homework Assignment for Them

Artificial intelligence has been everywhere lately. Though it's presenting interesting prospects in the tech world, it's also proving to potentially make things very challenging for educators. For work that’s turned in online, there’s always the potential that an AI chatbot could do an assignment for the student. Having the pupil turn in a handwritten copy is one way to guard against that, but a TikTok user found a way around it. They used ChatGPT to complete the given assignment and then programmed a 3D printer to record the answers that the AI wrote.

TikTok user 3d_printer_stuff shared a series of videos detailing how it all came together, including one tutorial that shows the same steps you’d need to take if you wanted technology to do your homework, too.

The student began by opening up ChatGPT and entering the task in the program. They then instructed the AI to write the assignment. Once it was done, they went to another site called 3DWriter and copied the text there. After finding the right font and spacing for the sheet, they then positioned lined paper on the 3D printer so that it would record the text onto the lines—just like a human would. The final step? “Enjoy the time saved,” 3d_printer_stuff said .

Though this may be seen as a clever shortcut, it’s important to recognize how harmful it is to one’s education. If the point of homework is for extra practice outside of the classroom, then using these round-about methods of automating assignments is only hurting your future self and the grasp of class concepts. Some school districts have already recognized the possibilities for cheating and have banned ChatGPT as a result. The New York City Department of Education has restricted access to it on school-owned networks and devices, stating concerns for the “potential to undermine student learning.”

This genius student uses the power of AI and a 3D printer to 'handwrite' their homework

A+ material.

As technology advances, you can always count on one thing: students will use it to avoid doing homework. One industrious student not only got an AI chatbot to do their homework assignment, but they also rigged it to a 3D printer to write it out on pen and paper, expending the maximum amount of effort required to do the minimum amount of homework. Bravo!

TikTok user 3d_printer_stuff shared a series of videos on how they programmed a 3D printer to produce homework with the answers that ChatGPT wrote. 

They gave ChatGPT their assignment; it spit out an answer, and then they copy/pasted that text over to 3dwriter . As you can see, once you sort out the proper spacing and mount a pen onto your 3D printer, 3dwriter can write out the AI-generated text onto a sheet of paper perfectly between the margins. The tutorial video shows the process step-by-step. 

ChatGPT has been in the news recently after Microsoft said it would invest $10 billion in OpenAI . The company developed an AI chatbot that scrapes the internet to produce long-form answers to questions in a human-like fashion. This is exactly why ChatGPT has already been banned in New York City public schools over cheating and plagiarism concerns. Ultimately the fear is that students will use it as a crutch and hinder the development of critical thinking skills, which is why the NYC Dept. of Education restricted access to the AI chatbot on its schools' computers. I don't blame them, considering one of the videos shows math homework being done on the fly.

Of course, as many comments suggest, the next logical step in 3d_printer_stuff's scheme should be to train an AI to mimic their handwriting. That way, they could fool a teacher since the handwriting shown here is just a little too perfect. You could also use these tools for non-cheating purposes, I guess. I'd argue that setting up a rig to do your homework takes more time than just doing the homework yourself, but I applaud the hustle nonetheless. 

Either way, it's interesting to see what the cross-section of AI and automation can produce that doesn't involve it being "light outs for us all," according to one CEO. I nor PC Gamer endorse cheating or scamming your way out of doing homework. We do think it's cool, though.

How to Use ChatGPT for 3D Printing: From Prompt to G-Code or STL File

Unlock the Potential of ChatGPT in 3D Printing

ChatGPT has become a sensation online since its emergence a few months ago. In addition to helping generate answers to simple queries, the chatbot can prepare files for 3D printing. With ChatGPT, you can create ready-to-print STL files, code for 3D models that can be opened using scripting-based 3D modeling software such as OpensCAD or create Gcode files without a 3D slicer. 

Below, we’ll explore each of these strategies in detail. Remember that ChatGPT is only as good as the prompts you give it and you may have to try several different wordings to get what you want.

How to Generate G-Code Using ChatGPT

We shall generate the G-code in ChatGPT, preview it, and then send it to a 3D printer. If you have not tried the chatbot, you can access it at by registering and logging into Openai . You should see the option to enter your prompts when you log in. 

You can think of any design and ask the software to generate the printable file. In my case, I want to create a simple 3D model of a cube. If I ask the chatbot to develop a 3D model I can print, it will display a general response, as shown below.

To get a 3D-printable file, we must ask the software to generate ASCII STL. ASCII STL format stores human-readable details of the triangular facets that make the object surface. Each vertex is connected to other vertices in the model, creating triangles that define the shape of the 3D model.

Below is a section on the ASCII STL format for designing a cup.

The file always starts with Solid <name>, where name is the name of your design. Next, you will see the details of the triangle’s vertices, and the code ends with the name endsolid <name>.

You can follow the steps below to create the 3D model in ChatGPT.

1. Write the prompt “Generate a 3D Model of a cube using ASCII STL format,” then click enter. Below is a sample of the code generated.

You can download the complete file on Google Drive. 

2. Copy the code and paste it to any text editor like Notepad, and then you can save it .STL . If you understand how the code works, you can modify it.

3. Import the file to Cura or any other 3D slicing software to slice it and generate the G-code we shall send to the 3D printer. It’s also helpful in previewing it and checking how it will be 3D printed. I also realized the design generated by ChatGPT the first time was very tiny, and I had to scale it on Cura, as shown below.

4. Send the file to your 3D printer . After slicing, you can preview by moving the sliders on the right and bottom of the interface to see if everything is in order. You can also specify speed, layer height, temperature, and other settings depending on your 3D printer.

Next, you can send the file to your machine for 3D printing. The design took around 6 hours to 3D print, and I was impressed with the outcome as it had no flaws.

If you can see well, the surfaces and edges were 3D printed perfectly, and the surfaces were smoother.

In addition to using ChatGPT to generate STL files, you can also fix the G-code files you can send to your 3D printer directly without using a 3D slicer.

How to Fix G-code Files in ChatGPT

To demonstrate this, I downloaded a 3D model of a Minecraft Creeper from Thingiverse and sliced it using Cura to get the G-code. I then opened it on Notepad and modified the sections highlighted below, adding letters instead of numeric values from line 5.

I then saved the file, and when I tried opening it in Cura, I got the error below.

Instead of taking a lot of time to identify the errors, ChatGPT can detect them easily. So I copied the file, pasted it into ChatGPT, and asked the bot to identify the mistakes. This was the response I received.

As you can see, it was able to detect that the values on lines 5, 7, and 10 are not numeric because I added letters.

You can also go ahead and tell it to fix it. In this example, I used the prompt, “Please fix the errors you identified.” As you see, it replaced the letters with random numbers.

In addition to fixing the G-code and generating STL files in ChatGPT, you can also use it to generate scripts of 3D models that you can use in 3D modeling software like OpensCAD. Follow along as we show you.

How to Generate Scripts of 3D Models in ChatGPT

If we want a 3D model we can manipulate, we can just ask for one.  Here, we’ll tell it to generate a script of a 3D model of a cup that we can use in OpensCAD. I used the prompt “ Create a Script of a 3D model of a cup to be opened in OpensCAD . ”

Below is the output that I got.

After generating the code, I downloaded OpensCAD , created a new file, and pasted the code into the editor. After saving and rendering the model, I got the design shown below.

It almost resembled a cup though it’s a little off. But you can play around with the prompts and the code until you achieve the perfect design of a cup. You can save the file as an STL file by selecting the STL option on the top-left section of the toolbar.

You can then send it to your 3D slicer and slice it. After slicing, the time taken to print the model is estimated to be 57 minutes. 

After 3D printing, I was able to get the design shown below.

As you can see, it has a smooth surface and is generally good, just like the other one for the cube. You can always experiment with various prompts, and you will be able to create an incredible design.

• mscir I asked openai's chat gpt if it could generate the g-code or stl for a roughly 1 foot long t-rex skull. It said yes. I asked it to do so, it generated a few dozen lines of code before the chat window stopped showing it. I told it the file was too large for the chat window, it apologized, I asked if it could generate the file and make it available for download, it said yes, I asked it to do so and send me the download link, it sent me a link to a gmail account that didn't exist. I was already logged into my gmail account in another tab on the same browser, so I asked it how we could proceed, it apologized and said it was not possible to create the file since it might be a copyright violation of some sort, and it said it didn't have access to an account where I could download the file even if it was able to post one. So it wasted a lot of time being quite stupid. Reply
• Pi-Plates chatGPT seems to have very limited capabilities of creating anything other than cubes. Case in point: "Generate a 3D Model of a skeleton using ASCII STL format" produced an STL file of a 4 sided cube with the disclaimer "This is a very basic and abstract representation of a skeleton using ASCII STL format. It defines a simple cube, which can be interpreted as a basic representation of a skeleton's structure. A more detailed and recognizable representation of a skeleton would require complex 3D modeling software." Reply

Generating GCODE for 3D Printing with Chat GPT-4:

The world of 3D printing is ever-changing, and it’s no secret that AI technologies are playing an increasingly significant role in this field. From 3D model creation to the slicing and printing process, artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach 3D printing. In this blog post, we explore the potential of ChatGPT 4, an advanced language model, to generate GCODE for 3D printing, and how it can eliminate the need for traditional slicing software.

If you’re a 3D printing expert, you’re likely familiar with GCODE, the machine-readable code that tells your 3D printer how to move and extrude the filament to create your desired object. However, generating GCODE is not as straightforward as it may seem. It involves several steps, including slicing, optimizing printing parameters, and ensuring printability. Slicing software like Cura or Simplify3D is typically used to slice a 3D model into layers, generate GCODE, and optimize print settings. However, this process can be time-consuming and requires expertise to achieve optimal results.

ChatGPT 4 is an advanced language model that can generate human-like text. It’s trained on a massive corpus of text and can understand and respond to text-based inputs. While it’s not specifically designed for 3D printing, its capabilities have the potential to simplify the GCODE generation process. By integrating ChatGPT 4 with 3D model repositories, it could eliminate the need for traditional slicing software.

Here is an example :

Prompt : write the gcode of 10cm * 10cm * 10cm cube with 50% infill for an open source reprap design 3d printer

ChatGPT: Sure! Here is the GCODE for a 10cm x 10cm x 10cm cube with 50% infill for an open source RepRap design 3D printer:

For example, imagine that you want to print a complex 3D model that requires significant optimization and tweaking of print settings. Instead of manually adjusting these settings in a slicer, you could simply input your desired parameters into ChatGPT 4, and it would generate the GCODE for you. This could save time and streamline the printing process, particularly for more complex models.

Moreover, ChatGPT 4 can also be used to modify existing models for 3D printing. For instance, if you have a model that needs to be resized or modified in some way, you could input your desired changes into ChatGPT 4, and it would generate the modified model for you. This could be particularly useful for customizing 3D prints or creating unique objects.

While ChatGPT 4 shows promise in generating GCODE for 3D printing, it’s important to note that it has its limitations. One of the primary challenges is that ChatGPT 4 lacks an understanding of physical constraints, material properties, and printer capabilities. This means that the GCODE it generates may not be optimized for your specific printer, and it may not take into account the properties of the filament you’re using.

Another limitation of ChatGPT 4 is that it may not be able to optimize the print settings as effectively as traditional slicing software. Slicers like Cura and Simplify3D are designed to provide a high degree of control over the printing process, allowing users to fine-tune the settings for optimal results. ChatGPT 4, on the other hand, may not be able to provide the same level of precision.

Despite its limitations, the potential applications of ChatGPT 4 in 3D printing are exciting. One of the most promising applications is the ability to create 3D physical objects, similar to how DALL-E creates images. By inputting a description of the object you want to create, ChatGPT 4 could generate a 3D model and GCODE for 3D printing, effectively turning it into a sculptor version of DALL-E. This could have far-reaching implications for the world of 3D printing, as it could simplify the process of creating custom objects, prototypes, and replacement parts.

Another potential application of ChatGPT 4 in 3D printing is its ability to learn from user feedback. As users provide feedback on the GCODE it generates, ChatGPT 4 could learn from this feedback and improve its GCODE generation capabilities. This could lead to more accurate and optimized GCODE generation, as well as a more personalized printing experience.

Furthermore, integrating ChatGPT 4 with 3D model repositories could open up new possibilities for 3D printing. For example, users could search for models based on descriptions, keywords, or even images, and ChatGPT 4 could generate the GCODE for printing. This could make 3D printing more accessible to a wider audience, as it would eliminate the need for expertise in 3D modeling and slicing.

In conclusion, ChatGPT 4 has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach GCODE generation in 3D printing. While its limitations must be considered, its ability to simplify the printing process and generate customized GCODE is promising. Moreover, its potential applications in creating 3D physical objects and learning from user feedback could lead to further advancements in the field of 3D printing. As AI technologies continue to evolve, we can expect to see further innovations in the world of 3D printing and beyond.

3D printing news Interviews Interview with AI Chatbot ChatGPT on the 3D Printing Market

Interview with AI Chatbot ChatGPT on the 3D Printing Market

Our interview today is truly unique: we have interviewed artificial intelligence (AI)! We wanted to test the now well-known ChatGPT and thought we would interview it as we would a 3D printing expert. ChatGPT (short for Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a chatbot system developed by OpenAI, based on an artificial intelligence model using machine learning technology. When we asked it to introduce itself, it told us, “ I’m here to help you solve your problems. I will be glad to help you in any way I can. ” In particular, ChatGPT can not only answer questions on a wide variety of topics, but also interpret, compose text, and generate images based on input. But what does ChatGPT know about 3D printing? To find out, we asked the questions we usually ask industry professionals in our weekly interviews. In our questions, we refer to the year 2021, because the bot only has access to information up to this year. What did it say? Will it be reliable? Read on to find out!

3DN: Hello, ChatGPT! Do You Know 3Dnatives?

“Yes, 3Dnatives is an online platform that offers information, news and guides on everything related to 3D printing innovation and technologies. 3Dnatives offers a wide range of content on 3D printers, filaments, materials, software, innovations, designs, projects, and more. The platform is based on an editorial model that provides detailed information on everything related to 3D printing. It is aimed at professionals and key players in the industry. It exists in eight languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.”

• Close, but not quite! 3Dnatives exists today in 5 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. For the other languages, time will tell! This first response shows that, while well structured, ChatGPT responses need to be verified to be sure of their accuracy.

3DN: What Were the Main Applications of 3D Printing in 2021?

“3D printing was used in a wide range of applications in 2021. First, prototype and model production: 3D printing has been used to rapidly create product prototypes and architectural models, allowing engineers and designers to test and improve their designs before mass production. Second, for custom manufacturing: 3D printing enables the production of custom objects on demand, without the need to create molds or expensive tooling. Third, for s pare parts manufacturing: 3D printing can be used to produce spare parts for machinery and equipment, allowing companies to keep equipment running without having to wait for spare parts to be delivered. Fourth, Medicine: 3D printing has been used to create prosthetics, implants, molds for the production of custom orthodontic appliances, and anatomical models for medical training. Finally, architecture: 3D printing has been used to create models of buildings and structures, enabling architects to visualize and test their designs before construction.”

• Here again the answer seems to us to be correct, but very limited. In our report on 3D printing trends in 2021 , we highlighted the growth of 3D printing in the construction sector; though we agree that medical is one of the most important application areas for 3D printing, especially if we consider dental as part of it. Yet, to classify 3D printing as a technology used primarily for prototypes, spare parts and customization demonstrates a somewhat old or simply superficial “view” of what additive manufacturing is today: a technology increasingly used in the production of end-use parts and in highly specialized and innovative industries. Just think of the applications of 3D printing in the aerospace industry (for building parts for rockets, engines, satellites, etc.) or in the automotive industry (for making optimized end-use parts with complex geometries for cars, motorcycles, and cutting-edge vehicles).

3DN: What Are the Cheapest 3D Printers on the Market?

“There are several inexpensive 3D printers available on the market, some of which are: Ender-3 by Creality: this 3D printer is very popular among beginners and is available for less than $200; Anet A8, a 3D printer that is also very popular among beginners and is available for less than $150; Monoprice Select Mini V2, a compact and affordable 3D printer sold for less than $200; FlashForge Finder, a 3D printer that is easy to use and sells for less than $300; and the Prusa i3 3D printer, one of the most affordable of the popular Prusa Research brand, selling for less than $500.”

ChatGPT also adds, “Keep in mind that these inexpensive 3D printers may have lower print quality than more expensive 3D printers, and they may be more difficult to set up and use. In addition, there are also 3D printer self-build kits available for less than $150”.

• Here artificial intelligence is able to identify some affordable 3D printer models from well-known manufacturers now on the market. At first glance, the answer is reliable, but again it can be called into question: there are many machines available for less than 500 euros, so why list the Prusa i3 as opposed to any other? What criteria does AI consider here and what geographic market is it based on? However, we appreciate the comment about DIY machines and the variable print quality achieved with inexpensive printers.

The price of the Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ Kit ranges from $500 to $800. (Credits: Prusa3D)

3DN: Which Are The Best-Known 3D Printing Companies?

“1. Stratasys: is one of the world’s leading 3D printing companies, with a wide range of industrial and desktop 3D printers. 2. Formlabs: is a professional 3D printing company offering both 3D printers and high-quality materials. 3. Ultimaker: is a desktop 3D printing company that offers high-quality 3D printers at affordable prices. 4. MakerBot: is one of the leading 3D printing companies, offering high-quality desktop 3D printers and a wide range of printing materials. 5. 3D Systems: is a 3D printing company with a wide range of products, including industrial 3D printers, desktops, and a wide range of printing materials.”

• With access to information up to 2021, ChatGPT does not know that one of the most important mergers of the year and the market occurred in 2022, that between Ultimaker and Makerbot. As of May 2022, the two companies became one company: UltiMaker. Again, it is difficult to understand what parameters were taken into account to make this list: total sales? The number of 3D printers sold? The company’s development internationally? A plausible hypothesis is that the data the AI takes into account in its answers mostly concern the U.S. market.

3DN: Which Additive Manufacturing Technology Is Best Suited for Creating Aerospace Rockets?

“The additive manufacturing technology most suitable for creating aerospace rockets is Fusion Deposition Modeling (FDM). This 3D printing technology uses heated and melted plastic or nylon filaments to rapidly create complex three-dimensional shapes. FDM is ideal for prototypes and applications where strength and durability are a priority. In addition, FDM technology allows larger parts to be printed than many other 3D printing technologies, which is critical when working with aerospace parts.”

• We wanted to challenge the AI a bit by asking a more specific question. Here actually ChatGPT’s answer is not correct. FDM technology can be used in aerospace for example to create prototypes, test designs, but for final parts, metal 3D printing is more suitable, with technologies such as DMLS widely used in the industry.
• Here we see how important it is to be precise in the questions asked of the AI. To get a more correct answer, we probably should have asked, “What is the best technology to create final parts for space rockets?” Also, considering the way the AI answers our questions, it is likely that it actually “knows” or “recognizes” FDM better than other types of 3D printing technologies due to it being the most common technology, which reflects a rather rudimentary knowledge of Additive Manufacturing.

3DN: What Do You Think Is the Future of 3D Printing? What Will Be the Next Innovations in the Field?

“The future of 3D printing is extremely promising. The 3D printing industry is expected to grow at a very fast pace in the coming years. It is expected to be used in the automotive industry, aerospace, medical facilities, industrial facilities, architecture, fashion, engineering, prototype production, consumer goods production, spare parts production, etc. 3D printing will reduce production costs, increase production efficiency, and help create innovative prototypes. In addition, 3D printing will enable manufacturers to produce more complex parts that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. 

Upcoming innovations in 3D printing will include the printing of more advanced materials, such as metals and polymers, the use of advanced post-processing techniques to improve the quality of the finished product, and the ability to print large objects, such as vehicles or parts of buildings. In addition, innovations in 3D printing technology will make it possible to print faster and with greater precision, so that more accurate and efficient products can be created.”

• While generic, this answer is our favorite of those ChatGPT has provided. First, the prediction of the rapid growth of the market fits with what everyone in the industry expects and is likely to happen. Also, the main sectors and applications of the technology are mentioned here. What also strikes us is the reference to post-processing , a topic we have covered many times: it is considered by industry professionals to be one of the areas of improvement and investment for the immediate future. So it seems to us very likely that steps will be taken in this regard, from the point of view of quality and process automation. The same applies to large-format 3D printing, which is developing rapidly and is likely to hold many surprises for us in the coming years. However, if we are to consider the major trends of 2022, ChatGPT did not, for example, “predict” the increasing use of technologies such as Binder Jetting or the use of more sustainable 3D printing materials and processes.

Optimizing the post-processing stage will be one of the trends in the coming years. (Credits: Protolabs)

3DN: Any Last Words for Our Readers?

“We recommend that our readers experiment with 3D printing, explore new technologies and learn as much as they can. 3D printing can be fun, practical and extremely rewarding, so embrace it and enjoy the journey!”

• With this cheerful response, we finish our interview. All in all, ChatGPT is an extraordinary tool that can have many functions and if studied can help in finding information, simplifying repetitive actions, and examining data. What is more amazing than anything else is its ability to generate humanesque language, an achievement that other AI have so far been unable to achieve. However, we have seen that it is not infallible and that often the information given does not correspond to the truth. It is therefore necessary to always verify both the sources of the information ChatGPT offers and the veracity of these sources, and also to take into account the fact that the latest news is not accessible to the AI (which has access to information that is a year old). For the time being then, human input is essential and necessary.
• Especially on the subject of 3D printing, it seems that ChatGPT still has a lot to learn. Its answers were not what an expert in the field would have given, but on the contrary revealed a superficial knowledge of the subject that, if we wanted to “humanize” AI, seems to reflect that of an American person who is familiar with 3D technologies but does not work within the field. Still, we are curious to find out what its future developments and uses will be!

This is an interesting interview with ChatGPT artificial intelligence about the field of 3D printing. Although ChatGPT can answer many questions, its answers demonstrate limited knowledge and need to be verified for accuracy. This is a reminder that current artificial intelligence cannot completely replace human knowledge and judgment, especially in specialized fields such as 3D printing. However, this technology is developing rapidly and has great potential, so continued research and improvement is essential.

Free release of 3D Printing and ChatGPT integration from Authentise

Authentise, a workflow management software specialist, has launched a new free feature that brings ChapGPT capabilities to the 3D printing industry.

The data-driven engineering and manufacturing workflow solutions company has introduced a new artificial intelligence tool that enables users to query the greatest repository of additive manufacturing knowledge using common language. 

“AI is evolving at an incredible pace and it’s time for the additive community to see how it can benefit. Authentise has always focused on integrating the world’s best algorithms into its workflows, and we’re delighted to be the first to teach Large Language Models decades worth of additive knowledge,” says Andre Wegner, CEO, Authentise .

After signing up for the 3D GPT service, free access to 12,000+ standards and journal articles on additive manufacturing.

Users of 3DGPT are able to ask any question, from the more general to the more specific, such as “What additive technologies can I use to 3D print concrete?” or “How do I reduce the likelihood of defects when working with Stainless Steel in powder bed fusion?” and receive insightful responses that are based on extensive industry knowledge. The solutions draw on the general knowledge that underpins OpenAI’s ChatGPT as well as the knowledge found in the standards and journal papers. The application has a unique feature that allows users to scrutinize 3DGPT’s responses by providing references to its more technical responses.

The program was supported by Innovate UK via the SAMRCD project.

Wegner added, “Personally, I’ve been continually astounded by the know-how in the industry. It’s a pleasure to help make that more accessible, but it’s clearly just the start. There are many ways we think that this tool might be useful inside our product portfolio – whether it’s to help create reliable and efficient workflows or make RFQ’s with many standards references more penetrable. Before that – we, Authentise as well as partners such as ASTM, naturally need to understand the technology’s opportunities and limits; we know that GPT algorithms sometimes hallucinate, for instance. Releasing this at TCT360, an event which epitomizes knowledge sharing, will help us understand how people will and want to use 3D GPT.”

How Can ChatGPT Be Used for 3D Printing

ChatGPT by OpenAI is an AI language model which allows conversational input to directly convert to functional code output. There are many applications, from writing poems, creating recipes, and even critically analyzing famous texts and works of art. However, the language model also has an understanding of several programming languages and syntaxes. This makes it possible to generate 3D printable models, executable code scripts, and more, using only a text prompt. While ChatGPT isn’t quite ready to create a functional model of a complex engine, it is capable of making simple shapes and also creating programs that can be used to make 3D models.

Printing Models Made with ChatGPT

• How to Access ChatGPT

ChatGPT stands for Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer We’ve trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. ChatGPT is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response. Source: OpenAI

With generative AI art tools like Dall-E (also made by OpenAI) becoming progressively more common, it was only a matter of time before this technology made it to the 3D world. If you’re interested in learning more, keep reading to see how you can use ChatGPT to make 3D printable models today.

Best Practices

ChatGPT uses a form of input called a “prompt”, which is the input from the user directed at the AI. Because the quality of the output is dependent on the input, companies like OpenAI have developed Best Practices guides to help increase the odds of success. Generally, adding additional context or information to the initial prompt will result in a more optimal answer, specifically when asking ChatGPT to create 3D models.

If directly asked to make a 3D model, ChatGPT will typically respond with the above prompt, and occasionally give instructions on how to use these programs to create a model. While these steps are typically not very helpful, they do show that ChatGPT should not be taken at face value when providing responses as it can, in fact, create a 3D model. Simple primitive shapes like cylinders, cubes, and pyramids are usually fairly easy to generate, but asking for organic or complex models will usually result in the above denial.

Using ChatGPT to Directly Generate STL Files

3D geometry can be represented via the triangulated .STL file format, a universal standard across virtually all manufacturers and file repositories. This is also a human-readable file format if generated as ASCII .STL, which makes debugging and interpreting the output of ChatGPT a little easier.

To successfully generate an .STL file, it usually takes a few attempts that each add progressively more information to the mesh. From the above triangle example, I asked ChatGPT to use this same format to generate a cube.

It then generated six faces, which is six triangles short of a fully triangulated cube. ChatGPT will abruptly stop after a certain point when generating a large file, but adding “Continue” as a prompt will allow it to continue from where it stopped. Using the free 3D modeling program Blender, I added in the missing geometry and fixed the flipped faces (shown in red above).

Using ChatGPT to Generate Scripts for 3D Modeling

Another key feature of ChatGPT is the ability to create scripts to parametrically create 3D models. Using Javascript and the three.js library, I was able to quickly generate a script that creates a cube in a 3D environment by using the prompt: “Please create a script using Javascript that generates a cube and uses a GUI to display it.”. This script also generated a GUI that allows for rotational control over X, Y, and Z axes.

By incrementally increasing the requested complexity, the script can create gradually more complex outputs. For example, here the cube has been replaced with a sphere, and a slider has been added that controls the number of segments on the sphere, giving it a progressively more Low Poly / decimated appearance.

By also adding an “.STL Export” function, the final geometry can be exported in the ASCII .STL file format for 3D printing. The full code can be found on GitHub , and there is also a live build available if you want to try it yourself.

Featured cube model 3D printed in tri-color PLA on Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro .

Programs like Blender can be used to clean and prepare these mesh files for 3D printing, as seen in the video I made covering this topic . Issues like missing triangles, flipped normals, and other mesh-related problems are common, so some manual clean-up will likely be required if the intent is to 3D print any models generated with ChatGPT. Models like the 3D printed cube are generated using arbitrary units with each side measuring one unit long, which corresponds to a single mm when imported into a slicer like PrusaSlicer.

How to Access

ChatGPT is currently available for public use and accessible directly through the OpenAI site . Use of the ChatGPT system requires an OpenAI account, which you can create using your email address. Creating an account allows users to access their full prompt history, which is a helpful way to reflect on which prompt strategies work and which don’t. While access can be limited and the service tends to have periods of interruptions, it’s still an exciting tool with a great deal of potential.

ChatGPT Comes for 3D Printing with Authentise’s 3DGPT

Conversational AI synthesizes over 12,000 additive manufacturing journal articles and standards.

If you work in 3D printing, you might need to get used to reading these words:

As a language model, my responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers and publicly available data. I should note that while I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, my responses may not always reflect the most current news or developments.

For anyone who’s been messing around with ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) in recent months—and over 100 million people have, according to the latest statistics from OpenAI—this should be all too familiar.

The explosive popularity of LLMs has led to a concordant growth in domain-specific models for everything from molecular chemistry to finance to coding and now, 3D printing. That’s the premise behind Authentise’s 3DGPT, a large language model designed to act as an AI resource for engineers working with additive materials and processes.

According to an Authentise press release, the 3DGPT LLM can answer both general questions, such as “What additive technologies can I use to 3D print concrete?” as well as more specific enquiries, such as “How do I reduce the likelihood of defects when working with stainless steel in powder bed fusion?”

The answers to both questions are based on training data derived from more than 12,000 journal articles and additive manufacturing standards that were used to construct 3DGPT.

“There are many ways we think that this tool might be useful inside our product portfolio,” said Authentise CEO Andre Wegner in the company’s press release, “whether it’s to help create reliable and efficient workflows or make RFQ’s with many standards references more penetrable. Before that – we, Authentise as well as partners such as ASTM, naturally need to understand the technology’s opportunities and limits; we know that GPT algorithms sometimes hallucinate, for instance.”

While the risk of so-called “hallucinations” (the PR-friendly term for falsehoods unabashedly presented as truths by LLMs) is inherent in any large language model, Authentise is aiming to ameliorate it by having 3DGPT provide references to what the company refers to as “more technical answers.” Based on the limited information in the company’s press release, it’s unclear whether 3DGPT could fall prey to the same issues with citations that recently landed an LLM-using litigator in hot water with a federal judge .

Fortunately, 3DGPT is following in the footsteps of other LLMs in being open for public trials .

Engineering.com has signed up and will be reporting our assessments of 3DGPT’s capabilities in an upcoming article.

Stay tuned.

ChatGPT: How the language-learning AI can assist in the creation of 3D printing design models

ChatGPT is a new, highly-advanced artificial intelligence program that is designed to answer questions and respond in a humanlike manner. It is trained on a massive dataset of text and as such is able to answer questions asked in natural language. In addition, it’s capable of generating code based on specific requests.

Is OpenSCAD an accessible program?

For 3D models that are used for 3D printers, OpenSCAD is an open-source program used to create models. The program uses a programming language to describe and assign the dimensions of the 3D model the programmer desires. This is in contrast to most CAD software, which has a more beginner-friendly graphical user interface.

Because of its complicated programming language, inexperienced users of OpenSCAD may not know how to use the program to create a desired model. The programming language can take a lot of time to learn, which highly decreases the accessibility of 3D printing to those who may want to use it.

How can ChatGPT help?

Because of its ability to write code, a relatively new feature of AI language learning models, users, even those with no experience, can prompt ChatGPT to create lines of code for OpenSCAD. Nick with Raise3D sought to answer this question, and see what the capabilities of ChatGPT are for programming a 3D model for print. Check Youtube tutorial below:

What can ChatGPT actually do?

Nick first asked ChatGPT to create a model of a hydrogen atom, with one nucleus and an electron. ChatGPT failed to do so. Next, he asked it to create a double helix, but there would be errors in the code that Nick prompted for ChatGPT to fix. Eventually, it managed to create a model that worked, but the end result was far from the original request.

Nick then asks the AI to generate a model for a Samsung Galaxy S8 phone stand. As a more creative and open-ended endeavor, ChatGPT was still able to use the phone’s dimensions to create the model. The model itself, however, was not usable, and still needed a lot of work.

Yet, after some tweaking and adjusting, Nick was able to get ChatGPT to get a requested model of a T-shaped jig fixture with a cylindrical hole cut out. In addition, the model created could then easily be uploaded to a secondary program for users inexperienced with programming to adjust.

What does this mean?

ChatGPT is still in the early stages of capability for its OpenSCAD programming, and still requires extremely specific requests to complete a task. In addition, it requires adjustments, and isn’t the best at answering requests that require creativity, like the phone case.

However, during Nick’s testing in which he asked ChatGPT to fix certain error prompts, ChatGPT was able to immediately identify what the error was and where it was. For a new user, it could take hours to identify a single problem, but ChatGPT is able to do it nearly instantaneously.

Printing the Final Design

Nick used a Raise3D Pro 3 model with the Hyper FFF upgrade, allowing a print time that is three times faster that of the Raise3D Pro 2 model while still maintaining high precision. In this way, through using ChatGPT, models can be designed and fixed quickly while also being printed at a moment’s notice.

What is ChatGPT’s potential in the future?

ChatGPT’s potential to generate code for 3D printing is impressive, and with more work, it could be a valuable tool for beginners to get started with 3D printing. Currently, however, it could be a useful tool for already-experienced programmers to know where an error occurred in the code for a 3D model in OpenSCAD.

Can ChatGPT do my homework?

Reviewed By: Steve Hook

Chatgpt homework examples, should chatgpt do my homework, is chatgpt safe to use for assignments, does chatgpt give the same answer to everyone, final thoughts.

Whether you are a student or just a bit curious, you may be wondering, can ChatGPT do my homework ? To be honest, there is no reason why ChatGPT can’t do your homework. But, whether it can do it well is another story. ChatGPT is a very powerful and versatile online AI chatbot. You can quite literally ask the model anything and it will generate a text response to answer your request. There are headlines about the model’s ability to write degree-level essays, pass university exams , and succeed in Google’s coding interview. It is pretty clear that this AI model is very capable but should you use it for your homework?

To see how well ChatGPT would respond to homework questions, we put the model to the test. We first asked the AI to answer a pretty straightforward high-school physics question.

PC Guide : “A box exerts a force of 100N on a table. The pressure on the table is 15 N/m². Calculate the area of the box that is in contact with the table.”

ChatGPT : “The pressure on the table can be calculated using the equation: pressure = force/area. So, the area of the box in contact with the table can be calculated as: area = force/pressure = 100 N / 15 N/m² = 6.67 m².”

So ChatGPT managed to answer this question correctly and showed it’s working, which is what most educators are looking for. Let’s look at another example. We decided to ask ChatGPT an essay-style question to see its versatility.

PC Guide : “Write an essay about the theme of love in Romeo and Juliet.”

ChatGPT : “Love is a central theme in William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet.” The play is a classic example of young love, a love that is passionate, intense, and ultimately tragic. Shakespeare’s depiction of love in the play is both realistic and romantic, capturing the complex emotions that come with love, both positive and negative….”

We have cut down ChatGPT’s response here, but you get the idea. From what it seems, ChatGPT definitely has the intelligence and capability to do high-school-level homework – at least.

It is quite obvious that Chat GPT can do your homework and it can do it pretty well. The issue with using ChatGPT is that it is technically academic dishonesty.

Using the model’s answers and passing them off as your own goes against the academic integrity rules set by your school or university. So using ChatGPT can be considered cheating.

Additionally, OpenAI has already said that ChatGPT is not always accurate or correct. Taking the AI bot’s words to be true could firstly land you a bad score, but also expose you for using the model.

Recently, AI detectors have become increasingly available, so you need to be aware that your teachers or professors can run your submissions through AI classifier software .

To be honest, we don’t recommend using ChatGPT to complete your assignments. We understand that it is tempting, but by doing so, you do risk getting caught. You also risk limiting your career prospects by not really learning anything while learning is the only thing expected of you. Make the most of this time while you’re young to learn as much as possible – You’ll be too busy to learn when you’re older! Besides, ChatGPT is not always correct and could actually land you a bad mark anyway.

Let’s look at safety. As time has passed more and more AI detectors have been developed so assessors and teachers can now investigate your submissions. Despite not being 100% accurate, these tools are out right now so your teachers can use them to sniff out AI-generated assignments.

If you do desire to still use ChatGPT there is no harm in leveraging the AI bot to help you make an essay plan or even help you decide on a topic for your assignment.

According to some sources, when multiple users ask ChatGPT the same question, they almost always get the same answer. There may be a few word differences, but they will be nearly identical.

So can ChatGPT do your homework? In short, yes it can in some regards… But, should you use ChatGPT for your homework? It’s up to you, but probably not. There are various risks with using this language model as your homework fairy godmother, so you must act with caution in what you use it for. Morally, we do not recommend using ChatGPT for homework because the consequences after getting caught could be pretty serious. As much as we all hated homework when we were at school, you need to learn this stuff for a reason!

ChatGPT Print on Demand: Using AI to Build Your POD Business

What is ChatGPT? An Introduction

Chatgpt print on demand use cases: what you can do, researching niches, developing your brand, designing custom products, optimizing product pages, personalizing products and recommendations, enhancing customer service, using chatgpt for print on demand: points to remember, chatgpt and print on demand: finishing thoughts, is it easy to use chatgpt for a print-on-demand business, is chatgpt free to use for helping to start business such as pod, which pod products can be enhanced with chatgpt.

Artificial intelligence has emerged as a powerful tool for all kinds of companies, improving productivity, efficiency, and access to crucial business insights.

At the same time, the number of print on demand sellers has skyrocketed in recent years, as creators embrace the simplicity this unique business model has to offer. In fact, by 2032, the print on demand (POD) market is expected to reach a value of $59.3 billion .

Combining the latest innovations in AI with your print on demand business could be an excellent way to streamline your workflows, boost customer engagement, and differentiate your brand. Generative AI solutions like ChatGPT can give print on demand businesses more of the resources they need to unlock creative ideas, and drive sales.

The question is, how do you use tools like ChatGPT in the print on demand industry, effectively, without exposing yourself to unnecessary risks? Here's everything you need to know.

To understand how tools like ChatGPT and Print on Demand can work together, we first need to define the AI tool itself. ChatGPT is a generative AI bot, created by OpenAI. The innovative solution uses natural language understanding to generate accurate responses to questions and prompts.

With ChatGPT, business owners can have human-like conversations with an AI tool, and use the service for a range of tasks, such as generating blog topics and marketing materials, compelling product descriptions, or even code for a print on demand store.

ChatGPT has already proven to be a valuable resource for a range of applications throughout the business landscape. Effective prompts can give business leaders insights into everything from market demand to strategies for improving customer satisfaction.

Notably, there are different versions of this AI-Powered tool available. The free version of the advanced language model is simpler, and is unable to access the internet for up-to-date information. The premium solution features improved responses, and more advanced capabilities.

Using AI for print on demand business growth can be extremely valuable. In the growing print on demand industry, staying ahead of the competition requires exceptional commitment to customer service, innovation, and strategy. ChatGPT can help with all of this.

Some of the most common ways POD business owners are using the tool include:

Before you even start creating print on demand products, you need to know which audience you're trying to reach. The best POD brand will always have a specific niche in mind for their solutions, but finding a niche can be challenging. It's difficult to know which sectors are the most competitive, and which offer the most opportunities for revenue.

ChatGPT can help you to define excellent niches, based on customer preferences, fashion trends, and industry data. All you need to do is enter a relevant prompt, like "Which is the most profitable print on demand niche in the fashion industry?"

To succeed in the POD market, you need more than just amazing product ideas and compelling designs. You also need a brand that can connect emotionally with your target audience. There are various ways ChatGPT can help you develop your brand, such as helping you come up with a memorable store name, or suggesting a color palette for your logo.

Additional prompts can help you understand how to connect with a broad customer base, by offering insights into the right messaging to use, or the key values of your target audience.

Although ChatGPT can't design unique patterns for you (yet) like Midjourney for Print on Demand , It can help with the design process. The innovative tool can suggest ideas for the kinds of patterns and images you can implement into your products.

For instance, you can ask "What are some unique ideas for a nature-themed t-shirt?" It can also help you come up with a catchy slogan for your clothing, or help you generate image prompt ideas you can use on other AI-powered design tools.

Creating effective product pages or listings is often essential to print on demand success. A tool like ChatGPT can help you write compelling descriptions for your ecommerce store or print on demand marketplace. It can even suggest keywords to include in your pages to boost your SEO score.

Plus, this powerful tool can help you decide how you're going to structure your page, and provide tips on the kind of information you should include, such as size guides, FAQ information, and shipping and delivery data for your customers.

Another excellent way to use AI tools for print on demand is for personalizing products. It can generate messages, and unique ideas you can offer to your customers if you want to give them the option to customize their own designs.

If you add a ChatGPT powered tool into your website, this bot can also streamline the sales process, providing custom recommendations to buyers, based on their preferences. All customers need to do is interact with the bot, and it can suggest products that align with their interests. This increases your chances of conversions and higher customer satisfaction.

Speaking of boosting customer satisfaction, a ChatGPT bot in your store can also handle a range of tasks related to customer service. It can answer common customer inquiries automatically on your behalf, giving customers 24/7 support. It can also surface FAQ information and posts from your website for your customers.

Even if you don't embed ChatGPT into your store, you can use it yourself to generate messages and follow-up emails for customers that capture their attention and answer core questions.

Integrating ChatGPT with your Print on Demand business can be an excellent way to streamline operations and increase your potential revenue. However, it's important to remember that ChatGPT technology isn't perfect, there are some issues you'll need to be aware of, such as:

• Quality control: Though ChatGPT is an advanced AI model, it doesn't always generate high-quality content, or accurate responses. You'll need to ensure you're proof-reading and editing any content created by the bot before you use it in your marketing materials.
• Customization: To be truly effective for POD brands, ChatGPT needs to be trained and customized, with access to your data. This means investing in the more expensive version of the app, and ensuring it has access to the correct information.
• Ethical issues: While training your bot is important, you'll need to ensure you're not sharing any sensitive information with the system. It's also worth remembering ChatGPT can sometimes generate content that demonstrates bias.
• Legal considerations: ChatGPT can't check to ensure your print on demand design ideas aren't too close to something else that already exists on the market today. You'll need to ensure you're not infringing on any copyrights or trademarks.
• Cost: Since the best version of ChatGPT requires a paid subscription, implementing it into your POD strategy can be costly. The expense goes up if you want to train the bot with cutting-edge capabilities to improve your store.
• Compatibility: ChatGPT may not be compatible with all ecommerce platforms and POD tools. This could make it a little harder to automate processes and take full advantage of the generative AI system.

Additionally, it's worth remembering that this AI bot can't fully replace the human beings in your POD venture. It can't handle every customer service request, or come up with endless custom designs. You'll still need people to make your store effective.

Ultimately, tools like ChatGPT can be extremely useful to print on demand business owners. They can help you conduct market research, generate catchy product descriptions, and even come up with unique designs for your products.

The features of ChatGPT can save you a lot of time and effort when you're launching or growing your store. However, it's important to remember the solution isn't perfect. You'll still need to make sure you're avoiding any legal or ethical issues when leveraging this tool.

Plus, you'll have to make sure the content you generate with ChatGPT is original and unique, to avoid copyright infringement issues. If you're struggling to build an effective print on demand store, working with a vendor like NovaTomato could be an ideal strategy.

Here, we offer everything from AI-powered design tools to unique printing and production solutions, to help businesses stand out in the POD world. Contact us today for more information on how we can help you develop your brand.

ChatGPT is a very straightforward tool for any business owner. Its natural language processing abilities make it easy to interact with the bot and streamline a range of tasks. However, you will need to master the art of prompting and training the bot.

There is a free version of ChatGPT available. However, it does have a number of limitations. Its training data is a little out of date, and it can't connect with the internet. Plus, you won't be able to integrate the free version with your store.

You can enhance a variety of POD products with ChatGPT, by using prompts to access inspiration and guidance. You can get ideas for funny quotes for posters and art prints, patterns for t-shirts and clothing items, and more.
