Taiyaki 3D

Taiyaki 3D was an AI concept-to-CAD system for hardware teams: start from a sketch, a render, or a pile of reference images, and move toward editable 3D geometry instead of a static picture.

Most AI design tools stop at images. Hardware teams need geometry — things with dimensions, features, and intent that can survive contact with manufacturing. Taiyaki sat in that gap, translating early concepts into 3D starting points designers could keep working on.

I founded and built Taiyaki, covering the product, the geometry pipeline, and the interface. It also seeded the jewelry pipeline and much of my later CAD work.
