In this episode, we are joined by Bruno Boas. Brought to you by PCBWay (jle.vi/pcbway) and OctoEverywhere (octoeverywhere.com/welcome?id=podcast).

Bruno, the visionary behind STLFlix, is back on the podcast for a second time — and this time, we’re diving into STLAI (jle.vi/stlai) a groundbreaking tool set to transform the way makers design, customize, and access 3D models.

From his beginnings as a passionate 3D printing enthusiast to building STLFlix into a go-to library for high-quality STL files, Bruno has always been driven by creativity, innovation, and community. Now, with the launch of STLAI, he’s taking things to the next level — giving designers and hobbyists the power to generate, adapt, and personalize models faster than ever before.

In this episode, we’ll explore how AI is revolutionizing 3D design for makers worldwide, the practical use cases for STLAI in model customization and prototyping, Bruno’s insights on building a platform that empowers the maker community, and the future of AI-powered creativity in the 3D printing industry.
