I'm entirely unfamiliar with this, but is there a future where we can take a few pictures of something physical, and have AI generate a 3d model that we can then modify and 3d print?

Asking as someone who's dreadfully slow at 3d modeling.



Yes, the future is now. It’s still early, extracted model quality will undoubtedly improve dramatically over time.

You're probably looking for multiview photogrammetry. Also known as "structure from motion." https://github.com/alicevision/Meshroom is a good free tool for this, but the most popular one is probably AGISoft MetaShape.
