The AI Assistant is a built-in chat assistant that can see your model, understand its properties, and help you prepare it for printing. It can answer questions, suggest fixes, and even run tools for you.

​

Opening the AI Assistant

Click the sparkle icon at the bottom right of the editor toolbar. The chat panel slides open on the right side of the screen.

​

What it can see

When you start a conversation, the AI Assistant automatically has access to:

• Your model’s dimensions, polygon count, and volume
• Analysis results (if available) — detected issues, printability score
• 360° thumbnail images of your model from multiple angles
• The current state of your editor settings

This means you can ask about your model directly — no need to describe it.

​

How to use it

Type a message in the input box at the bottom and press Enter or click Send. The assistant responds in real time, and you can have a multi-turn conversation. Quick prompts — When you first open the chat, you’ll see suggested prompts to get started:

• “Analyze this model for printability”
• “What should I do to prepare this for printing?”
• “Are there any issues with this model?”

Click any of these to send it immediately.

​

Tool calls

The AI Assistant can run tools on your model as part of the conversation. When it does, you’ll see a tool call card in the chat showing:

• Which tool is being used
• The parameters it chose
• The result when it completes

You can expand these cards to see the details.
