saymake

Describe an object in plain words and get a shape to 3D print or laser cut: vases, bowls, mugs, trays, coasters and tags, with every size on a slider, as STL, 3MF or SVG.

Typing “an oblique vase, 20 cm” into saymake: it reads Vessel › Vase, slanted rim and Height 200 mm, and makes a vase 200 mm tall whose top is cut at a slant, ready to download as STL or 3MF.

Most simple objects are a handful of choices: how tall, how wide, round or six-sided, fluted or plain, with a handle or without. saymake lets you say those choices in plain words and gives you a shape you can still adjust, instead of starting from a blank CAD file or hunting for a model that’s almost right.

It knows 46 features, such as flutes, polygon sides, a twist, a slanted or chamfered rim, a lean, a raised foot, a handle, drainage and rounded corners, plus sizes (“20 cm tall”, “4in diameter”) and counts (“8 flutes”). It shows how it read every word, and says which words it didn’t use or can’t make yet.

Example

Typing “an oblique vase, 20 cm” in saymake 0.1.0:

Vessel › Vase · slanted rim · Height 200 mm
Made a vase, 100.8 × 100.8 × 200 mm.
Download STL (.stl) · Download 3MF (.3mf)

Every setting, from the height and bulge to the rim’s slant, is then on a slider. Before offering files it checks walls, overhangs, flat areas facing down, the printer’s size and whether the shape would tip over.
