AI has evolved again. We are entering an era where 3D data can be created easily. However, even with the evolution of AI, the story of why 'humans' are still necessary for pure gold craftsmanship. July 2025.

AI has once again
achieved remarkable evolution.

■ An era where 3D data is created from images

The other day, an AI app was announced that can 'generate 3D data from images or photos in just a few minutes'.

I tried it myself, and it is truly excellent; it even automatically fills in the shapes on the back and the rounded details.

I have long thought,
'If AI can create 3D data, custom-made products will become faster and more accurate'

but I never expected it to happen this quickly...

This is truly the evolution of technology.

■ Even so, there is a wall that AI cannot overcome

However,

no matter how much AI evolves,
'pure gold craftsmanship'
has a wall that cannot be overcome.

That is
skill and experience.

Pure gold is an expensive material, and extremely rigorous techniques are required for processing and molding.

The following is the actual flow until commercialization

■ The process until pure gold becomes a product

1. Create 3D data(AI is also possible)

2. Adjust 3D data assuming weight (grams) (Human)

3. Output the prototype with a 3D printer (Machine rather than AI)

4. Make a mold from the prototype (Human)

5. Pour in pure gold, cast manufacturing (Human)

6. Cut the sprue and finish it to complete (human)

Looking at the process,
you can see that it is a world that still requires human hands.

And
in the case of manufacturing pure gold

between the 3D data and
the actual finished pure gold product

the gram weight will definitely change.

In some cases,it can even change by more than 10%.

For example, even if you aim to 'make it with 10 grams',
with the 3D data assumed by AI,

fine details, curves, and slight differences in thickness
cannot be anticipated

Also,

there are parts that cannot be fully filled with molten metal during manufacturing (such as voids),

so the actual weight can fluctuate by more than 20%.

To suppress this 'discrepancy',

humanexperience in understanding how to read 3D data, how to perceive shapes, and the quirks of manufacturingis indispensable, as they arewell-versedin these areas.

■ A world where loss is directly linked to material costs

Pure gold is an 'asset' whose price fluctuates by the gram.
Therefore, the difference in grams between the assumed weight and the actual productis directly reflected in the cost price.

If it is
less than the assumed grams, manufacturing costs increase
due to the need to redo the work,

and if it is
more than the assumed grams, that much
more pure gold material cost is incurred,

which means
the cost will be higher than the estimated quote.

In other words,

'evaluating 3D data = controlling costs'
.

AI
cannot predict gram assumptions or subtle manufacturing errors to that extent.

■ Pure gold custom-made products require a craftsman's intuition

Even if AI continues to evolve in the future,

3D data that minimizes gram differences, prototype production, and adjustments in manufacturing processing

is required.

These are impossible without
human ability to adjust 3D data beyond AI
and
the ability to understand the manufacturing process

without them.

The world of

pure gold craftsmanship is not just about 'making it according to the data'.

➡ By the way, if you don't care about the final weight in grams, you can do it as is.

■ Summary

The era of AI-generated images to 3D data has arrived, and the entry point for manufacturing has become dramatically more convenient.

However, that is precisely why the question is,

'How much can we minimize loss, and how beautifully and accurately can we finish it?'

This is the power of humans.

And

in workshops like ours that focus on pure gold, we believe that
the fusion of AI and human skill is the future of manufacturing.

■ From now on

It will become easy to create images with AI and
create 3D data with AI.

We are also considering
accepting services for manufacturing from such 3D data.

Since we don't have to create the 3D data here,
the speed will be incomparably faster.

However,
manufacturing 3D data as is

is probably
reckless, so we will charge a fee

for weight adjustment and
fine detail adjustments.

Therefore,

the prototype production cost
might not change significantly,

but even so,
the ideas in your head
can be turned into pure gold or silver.

The fact that an era where things can be done easily has
arrived

could be called an incredible evolution,
couldn't it?
