Introducing Lychee Gen: Your Imagination, Now Printable

For 7 years, Lychee Slicer has been your trusted tool for preparing 3D models. One year ago, we introduced Lychee Library, giving you access to professionally crafted, pre-supported models from the most talented creators around the world. Today, we're proud to launch the final piece that completes our mission to make 3D printing accessible to everyone: Lychee Gen.

Lychee Gen transforms text descriptions into high-quality, printable 3D models in minutes. That character in your head? That creature you can't find? That custom mini you've always wanted? Describe it. Generate it. Print it.

What is LYCHEE GEN?

Lychee Gen is a 3D model generator built by 3D printing experts, for 3D printing. You have ideas that don’t exist on any marketplace. Models too specific to find or too complex to sculpt. Designs too personal to commission. Now, you can create them yourself by simply typing a few words and having the model ready to print in minutes. That’s Lychee Gen.

Getting Started: Your First Model in Minutes

Creating your first model takes just five simple steps:

Step 1: Visit Lychee Gen & Sign Up

• Visit 3dgen.lychee.co

• Create account (or use existing Lychee account)

• Pick your plan (more details below)

Step 2: Type Your Idea

Describe your model in plain language. Example: "Orc warrior with spiked armor and a massive axe"- "Elf ranger with a hood and quiver full of arrows" - "Wizard with a long beard and magic staff"

Lychee Tip: Write clear prompts and be specific about what you want. Combine 4 key elements for better results: Details (equipment, clothing, features), Pose (action or stance), Base/Environment (context or setting), and Style (aesthetic and detail level or use a shared preset).

Stay connected, we'll share prompts to make it easy.

Step 3: Pick Your 2D Preview

Lychee Gen generates a preview image in seconds. If it matches your vision, move on to Step 4 . Not quite right? Regenerate it with a tweaked description. Each generation costs just 5 credits, so experiment until it’s perfect.

Step 4: Click “Generate 3D Model”

Wait about 5 to 10 minutes while Lychee Gen converts your chosen image into a high-quality, printable 3D file. Preview your model from all angles to make sure it's exactly what you need.

Step 5: Export & Print

Export your GLB file and open it in Lychee Slicer 7.4.5 (not available in the previous version). Add supports, slice, and send to your printer.

Note: Using another slicer? No problem. Download the GLB file and convert it with any free online converter if your slicer doesn’t support the GLB format.
