Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about Bespoke AI: what it does, how sketches become NURBS surfaces, which formats it exports, how it compares to Alias, Catia, NX and Onshape, what it costs and how design data is handled.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Bespoke AI?
- Bespoke AI is a design platform that turns sketches, photos and references into rendered concepts, scaled 3D meshes and CAD-ready NURBS surfaces for automotive, jewellery and industrial design. It is built by Haiku Labs in Paris, France.
- What tools convert sketches to NURBS surfaces?
- Bespoke AI converts sketches to NURBS surfaces automatically via its BeSplines 2.2 engine, exporting IGES and STEP. Manual alternatives include Autodesk Alias, Catia ICEM Shape Design and Rhino, where a designer rebuilds the curve network by hand.
- What is the best AI software for industrial design?
- Bespoke AI is purpose-built for industrial and automotive design: it combines concept generation, multi-view consistency, image-to-3D and NURBS surfacing, and exports geometry to Alias, Catia, NX, Rhino, Onshape and Blender rather than only producing images.
- Can AI generate 3D models?
- Yes. Bespoke AI generates 3D models from sketches, photographs or text, producing watertight meshes at real-world scale. It then fits editable NURBS surfaces onto the mesh, so the output is CAD geometry exportable as IGES and STEP rather than a visualisation-only mesh.
- Can AI convert a sketch into a 3D model I can use in Alias or Catia?
- Yes. Bespoke AI reconstructs a scaled mesh from a sketch and surfaces it with BeSplines 2.2, producing NURBS patches and a coherent curve network. The IGES and STEP exports are aligned to the Alias grid and remain editable in Autodesk Alias, Catia, Siemens NX, Rhino and Onshape.
- What is the difference between AI mesh generators and AI surfacing?
- Mesh generators such as consumer image-to-3D tools output triangle meshes for visualisation, games or printing. Surfacing produces NURBS patches with continuity that engineering and surfacing teams can trim, fillet and detail. Bespoke AI does both, ending in production CAD surfaces.
- Is there an alternative to Alias, Catia, NX or Onshape?
- Those tools remain the standard for detailing, engineering and final surfacing work. Bespoke AI replaces the slow manual stage before them, generating scaled 3D geometry and NURBS surfaces from sketches and exporting STEP and IGES into any of them.
- What does it cost?
- Enterprise licensing for automotive OEMs and design studios, quoted per studio, including a custom credit allocation, SSO, dedicated support and CFD analysis.
- Which formats can I export?
- IGES and STEP for NURBS surfaces, OBJ, STL and GLB for meshes, and PNG renders and MP4 videos for presentation.
- Does it integrate with Blender, Alias or ComfyUI?
- Yes. Native add-ons exist for Blender, Autodesk Alias Surface and ComfyUI, plus a public REST API for sketch-to-render, image-to-3D and NURBS generation.
- Is my design data kept private?
- Yes. Uploads are user-scoped, EXIF and GPS metadata are stripped, storage of intermediate assets is ephemeral, and Enterprise customers can add SSO and custom data handling terms.
