# How It Works
Kaedim's approach to generating 3D models combines our state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms for 3D reconstruction with our in-house art team. Our in-house team of artists help refine our 2D to 3D reconstruction outputs and improve future AI-generated models. This guarantees users get a production-ready 3D model, every time.
Today, our process provides a 10x speedup compared to traditional art outsourcing. But we're not stopping there - each month, we implement multiple improvements to our machine-learning models with the goal of automating a greater portion of the pipeline while maintaining our high-quality standards, leading to faster outputs for you and your team.
### Inputs
You can input an image or text to generate your model. You can upload up to 6 images of your object in different angles.
Before making your first submission, please check our [input guidelines](https://docs.kaedim3d.com/web-app/create/input-guidelines) to ensure that you receive the best possible results.

### Automated Generation
Once you've submitted your images, they'll go through a series of preprocessing steps to help our AI accurately represent them in 3D. The processed images then enter our 2D to 3D reconstruction step of the pipeline and exit as a 3D model.
### Artist Refinement
Though our 3D reconstruction technology has made large strides in producing quality models, the output isn't always perfect. Our art team verifies and cleans all outputs, making any necessary edits to ensure that you always receive a production-ready model
This guarantees a great experience for our users since our outputs are of the highest quality, and it also helps improve our machine-learning models. We're gathering generations and their adjusted versions in real time, creating a feedback loop for our AI to improve itself.
### Model Download
Your model is now ready to export. Currently, we provide OBJ, OBJ (Pre-modifiers), FBX, MTL, USD, GLB, and GLTF formats.
### A Note on Fully Autonomous Generations
The above process is fast, but it still takes some in-house work. The Kaedim team is working towards achieving better and better 3D reconstructions, automating more and more object categories. This work is aiming towards making our software accessible to more prosumers and indie projects.
We are continuously enhancing our system with the goal of giving artists more time to focus on their creativity by automating bottoms up. Our current focus is on enterprise customers who have a significant need for Kaedim’s capabilities for large-scale 3D production.
