Print-ready models, from one call.

The same engine that runs the VERTEX generators, behind a plain HTTP API. Send settings, get back an STL, 3MF or OBJ that's ready to slice. Every file carries a serial number.

Tracer API · by invitation

A photo of tools in. A bin out.

Outlines in millimetres, or a finished Gridfinity bin with a pocket for every tool.

Formats

  • 3MFEvery part, with colours
  • STLOne part at a time
  • OBJEvery part

Free tier

30 a minute per key, up to 5 keys.

Traceable

Every file carries a serial.

It learns

Every correction makes the next trace better.

When a maker nudges an outline, the tracer keeps the lesson. Shadows, shiny steel, tools that touch: each fix trains it, so the next photo comes out closer.

Playground

Change a setting. Watch the model.
