Claude-driven Blender 3D modeling from images makes this dev bullish on inspection gear
jwt0625 · x · 2026-10-12
The author shares a hands-on experiment using Claude to drive Blender and build 3D models from images, and argues this points to a big opportunity in imaging and inspection equipment.
Key points:
- LLMs reverse-engineering games and software is increasingly common; most hardware is less complex than software but involves subtler, costlier decisions.
- The real bottleneck is imaging and inspection, naming Nikon, Keyence, Zygo, Bruker, Lumafield, Thermo Fisher, and EAG Laboratories.
- Obscure techniques like EOTPR and TDTR would work great once hooked up to Claude agents.
