THEIA converts simple 2D technical drawings into precise 3D models within minutes.

SP3D, formerly known as Spare Parts 3D, has expanded its testing for THEIA, an AI-powered platform designed for automatic 2D-to-3D reconstruction, and is now accepting applications for early access. The platform significantly enhances efficiency by automatically converting simple 2D technical drawings into precise 3D models within minutes.

Ideal candidates for early access include companies that heavily depend on 3D models for various operations. These applications include automated 3D-based price quoting, which accelerates response times for customer inquiries; instant volume and weight calculations, enabling optimized logistics and material management; and creating high-quality 3D renderings for augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and marketing applications to enhance sales and digital content.

SP3D’s platform’s intuitive interface requires no prior CAD experience – simplifying the user experience significantly. Users need only upload a 2D drawing, review and compare the AI-generated 3D model against the original 2D design, and download the STEP file for immediate practical use.

As the industrial sector rapidly advances toward comprehensive digital transformation, the need for 3D modeling has become critical across multiple applications, including on-demand manufacturing, digital twins, simulations, and marketing visualizations. However, a substantial portion of existing industrial assets predates CAD technology, resulting in millions of legacy drawings that remain in 2D format.

Concurrently, the pool of engineers skilled in interpreting technical drawings is declining – exacerbating operational inefficiencies, increasing costs, and heightening the risk of errors. THEIA directly addresses this challenge, bridging the gap between legacy documentation and modern digital requirements.
