Your House in 3D
A hand-finished 3D model of any home, built from a handful of exterior photos — delivered within 7 business days.
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. Claude Vision runs a multi-pass elevation analysis to infer massing, roof lines, and proportions, which a Python FastAPI service turns into a solid via CSG operations (manifold3d / trimesh) and exports as a watertight STL. Each mesh is validated for printability before it's accepted. A Next.js storefront handles Stripe Checkout ($750 STL file, $950 with a printed model shipped), and a fulfilment panel lets the team upload the finished STL, email the signed download link, and post shipping tracking — every order is delivered within 7 business days.
Highlights
- Multi-pass Claude Vision elevation analysis derives geometry from photos alone
- CSG meshing (manifold3d / trimesh) produces watertight, printable STL files
- Print-readiness validation before a model ships to the slicer
- Two-tier Stripe Checkout ($750 STL / $950 STL + printed model) with shipping collection
- Admin fulfilment panel: STL upload, signed download emails, carrier + tracking via SES
