Your House in 3D

A 3D model of any home, built from a handful of exterior photos or one walk-around video — the STL file usually within 2 hours, a printed model shipped within 1 month.

Overview

Upload a few exterior photos of a house, or one video walking around it, and order a made-to-order 3D model of it: the printable STL file, or the STL plus a 3D-printed model shipped to your door. The model is AI-generated from the photos: structure-from-motion recovers the house's proportions, an AI modeling agent (an OpenAI model, with Claude as fallback) writes a CAD program of the house and checks its own renders against the photos, and CSG (manifold3d / trimesh) turns that program into a watertight, printable mesh. Printed models are printed and shipped by hand. A Next.js storefront takes the order through Stripe Checkout, and an admin panel handles printing, shipping and tracking.

The problem

People love a physical keepsake of their home, but getting one normally means a CAD modeler, a 3D scan, or expensive bespoke work. There was no self-serve way to go from "a few photos on my phone" to a printable model of a specific house.

The approach

The pipeline never touches map footprint data — geometry is derived entirely from the uploaded photos or video. A paid order starts a Step Functions job on AWS Fargate: structure-from-motion recovers camera positions and proportions, then an AI modeling agent writes a CAD program of the house, renders it, and compares the renders with the photos before the program is built into a solid via CSG (manifold3d / trimesh) and exported as a watertight STL. The customer is emailed a download link when the file is ready, usually within 2 hours of payment. For the printed tiers, the model is printed on Bambu Lab printers and shipped by hand from an admin panel that records the carrier and tracking number; printed models ship within 1 month, to US addresses.

Highlights

  • Geometry comes from the customer's photos alone: structure-from-motion plus an AI agent that writes a CAD program of the house
  • The agent reviews renders of its own model against the photos before the build
  • CSG meshing (manifold3d / trimesh) produces watertight, printable STL files
  • Three one-time tiers through Stripe Checkout: STL file, printed in one color, or printed in up to four colors
  • Paid orders start a Step Functions job on Fargate; printed tiers are fulfilled by hand from an admin panel with carrier tracking

Pricing

$50 for the STL file; $100 printed in one color; $150 printed in up to four colors (US shipping included).
