PlankAssembly

It assembles a 3D model of a product from three standard drawing projections - front, top and side - including cases where the lines in the drawing are incomplete. The output is a draft; an engineer checks and signs off the document.

How to run it

On your own serverWeights are downloaded from Hugging Face and served with vLLM (load and API) or llama.cpp (modest hardware). The model then runs in a closed network with no per-request fees.Hugging Face

I can set this up end to end: pick the model size, deploy it on your server and connect it to your systems.

Frequently asked questions

Can PlankAssembly be used in a commercial project?

With conditions. License: AGPL-3.0 - derivative works must be open-sourced. Restrictions vary — region, company revenue, attribution requirements. Have a lawyer check the terms before a commercial launch.

What hardware does PlankAssembly need?

At minimum: One GPU with 16–80 GB — mid-size versions. Without a GPU the model is not practical. You can calculate the exact VRAM for your model size and context in the hardware calculator.

Does PlankAssembly support Russian?

Language does not matter for this model: it does not work with text.

Where can I download PlankAssembly and what does it cost?

The PlankAssembly weights are open and free to download. You only pay for the hardware it runs on and for the setup. Source links are at the bottom of this page.

How I deploy it for clients

  1. SelectionI pick the model size for your task and hardware and test it on your examples.
  2. DeploymentI deploy it on your server or in a closed network and provide an API.
  3. Fine-tuningI fine-tune it on your data (LoRA) or connect a knowledge base — whichever is cheaper for the task.
  4. IntegrationI connect it to your CRM, ERP, bot, website or team chat and set up monitoring.
