Hi3D, the browser-based AI model generation platform built on its proprietary Sparc3D engine, has rolled out a suite of new Maker features aimed at one of the most persistent friction points in consumer 3D printing: turning an AI-generated file into something that can actually be printed without additional CAD work. The centerpiece of the release is Print by Parts, an automated segmentation tool that breaks character models into discrete, orientation-ready components. The feature directly addresses a cluster of problems that routinely block AI-generated figures from going straight to a slicer, build volume overflows, unprintable overhangs, and support structures that leave marks on finished surfaces. Rather than requiring a user to manually cut and reassemble geometry in external software
