Turn Point Clouds into High‑fidelity 3D Assets
Point‑E is an AI-powered web application that turns raw point clouds into polished 3D models using modern diffusion-based techniques. It was built to help product designers, researchers, and developers transform noisy or sparse scans into detailed, realistic geometry quickly and reliably. The project is open-source and distributed under the MIT license, so anyone can inspect, modify, or extend the codebase.
