    AI STL / 3D Design - backflip.ai

    I watched a few videos, looked interesting, so I signed up for free and gave it a try. Pretty amazing, especially for it being new! It's far from perfect, but like all other AI that's moving quick, give this a year or so and I think it will be very useful! https://backflip.ai/
