Alphacam add-in
NirvanaAI
Describe it in Alphacam, let AI build the 3D STL model: parametric part or relief; the model is imported into the drawing and scaled to the size you need.
AI-assisted 3D model generation for Alphacam: describe the part or motif in plain words; NirvanaAI prepares a parametric part or a relief model as STL, adds it to your drawing and scales it to your target X/Y/Z size. A fast starting model for CNC router jobs such as shelves, drawer fronts, turned parts and carved motif panels. Step-by-step walkthrough and sample output: NirvanaAI overview.
Description
NirvanaAI installs into Alphacam as the NirvanaAI tab. You describe the part or motif ("800x250x18 shelf, corners R20", "tulip motif relief panel"); the STL model is prepared with AI, downloaded to your computer and added to your drawing automatically. Then you enter target X/Y/Z sizes and the model is scaled to them (with a proportion lock). Pricing is per generation: each successful generation uses 1 credit, a failed generation uses none. An internet connection is required.
Features
- Text to 3D STL: parametric parts and reliefs
- Automatic import into the active Alphacam drawing
- Scale to target X/Y/Z size with proportion lock
- Priced per generation; failed generations are not charged
- Alphacam 2019 R1 and later
Which jobs?
NirvanaAI prepares the model and places it in the drawing; 3D roughing and finishing you define in Alphacam as usual. The clearer the description (dimensions, corners, holes, depth), the more accurate the model:
- Parametric part: shelf, drawer front, box
- A part model from a dimensioned description: details such as thickness, corner radius, holes and grooves are taken from your description. Example: 800x250x18 mm shelf, all four corners R20, two 8 mm screw holes at the back.
- Relief panel and carved motif
- Describe the motif and give width, height and maximum depth in mm; the model comes as a single piece with its base. Example: 400x600 mm tulip motif panel, 8 mm depth.
- Turned and decorative parts
- Vases, legs, knobs and other forms revolving around an axis are generated parametrically with their dimensions.
- Scale to target size
- The imported model is scaled to X/Y/Z targets in the size form; with keep proportions on, motifs and ratios stay intact, with it off the thickness is set separately.
License
- Pricing: Per use, minimum 5
- A key works on one computer at a time; buy one unit per computer.
- Activation requires an internet connection; the key is not asked again during the license term.
- When you change computers, a free new key is issued through a reinstallation request in the panel.
Frequently asked
How is it priced?
Per generation; you choose the number of uses when buying (minimum 5). Each successful generation uses 1 credit; a failed generation uses none. Later purchases are added to the same license key.
Is the generated model always exact?
AI can misread a description or skip a detail. Check the model in Alphacam before machining; refine the description and generate again if needed.
Does the add-in do the 3D machining?
No. NirvanaAI generates, imports and scales the STL model; toolpaths are created by you in Alphacam's 3D module.
Is an internet connection required?
Yes. The prepared model is downloaded to your computer; license verification is online too.
Which Alphacam version is required?
Alphacam 2019 R1 and later; machining an STL model requires a licensed Alphacam 3D module.
