The world’s first AI-powered craft ideas platform, AImake, takes you from simple prompt to ready to use design in seconds
xTool’s AImake, part of DesignFind, could revolutionise your craft workflow.
If you’re a digital crafter, designer, Cricut lover or DIY enthusiast, then xTool’s DesignFind can make your life a lot easier. Whether you work with laser cutting, engraving, screen printing or other crafting techniques, DesignFind has a huge array of design assets and project files to save you time, and works with materials such as wood, acrylic and more.
DesignFind has a range of project categories, from home decor to Christmas and jewellery, where you’ll find free as well as premium assets available for use. And within DesignFind is AImake, the world’s first AI-powered craft design generator for all DIY craft lovers.
With both DesignFind and AImake, you can generate a design and then complement it with DesignFind’s library of assets. And as both are made by xTool, a leader in the laser cutting and engraving industry, you know that they are made specifically for creators. That doesn't mean that AImake is just for xTool machines though, it works with all laser and engraving products.
At a recent Microsoft Garage event, xTool showcased the xTool P2, F1 Ultra and M1 Ultra and the latest AI feature AImake together, attracting a large number of people who were the first to try out Almake.
Here’s more about what makes AImake so powerful and easy to use:
Why you should use AImake
01. You only need one sentence
Other AI tools often rely on long and detailed prompts, but AImake is different. You just need to type in one simple sentence, choose your style and you’ll have plenty of ideas to choose from. The intuitive interface then enables you to hone in on your chosen design, until you’ve found the perfect fit for your next project. This means you don't need to spend time editing your prompts or switch to other platforms, AImake does it all for you.
02. Takes processing into account
Other AI image generators can provide you with the content you want to craft, but they don’t take into account how you’re planning to process it, which can cause problems – a design for screen printing will look very different to one for engraving, for example. AImake puts the two things together to provide the perfect content with your processing needs, generating designs that are ready to produce in your chosen medium immediately. You also don't need to switch into another software to hone your creation.
03. Choose from over 70 styles
Almake generates over 70 styles, while other AI platforms only offer four. This means you have plenty to choose from, whether you want to create a logo, mug, sticker or T-shirt and print with a laser, engraving, sublimation or any other type of crafting machine. AImake generates ready to make designs in SVG or JPG, which are compatible with any processing method and are flexible for making any further adjustments.
04. Create 3D effect designs
It’s easy to generate 3D-style images with just one prompt, and the possibilities are endless. Beginners can make styles like wooden shallow relief, enabling them to make 3D effect relief designs with no prior experience.
AImake also offers Embossment, an AI image editing feature that enables users to convert any image into a depth map with just one click. This means it’s simple to create designs that are ready for real 3D deep relief engraving, using the xTool F1 Ultra, for example.
If you’re into precision laser engraving, then AImake also has something for you, as it offers dedicated styles for precision laser engraving, which are ideal for creating beautiful details.
05. Works with a variety of mediums
Almake works with a variety of mediums. The screen printers among you will delight in AImake’s specialised screen printed designs, which have up to four clear colour blocks that work perfectly for screen printing.
If it’s stickers you want to make, then AImake offers options under its for colourful printing section that are ideal for both printing and blade cutting. The xTool M1 Ultra's knife cutting and inkjet capabilities make it an excellent tool for turning creative sticker designs from AImake into tangible products.
And if you want to engrave photos, then FaceSketch can convert your images into designs, ready for laser cutting.
