Single-interface support for both casual and professional 3D users

Design a generative 3D modeling interface that supports both casual creators seeking rapid, visually plausible concept generation and professional users requiring structurally reliable, production-ready outputs within a single system that accounts for their divergent standards of output sufficiency.

Background

Empirical findings show a sharp divide: casual users often accept visually plausible models as ‘good enough’ for immediate use, while professionals deem the same outputs unusable without extensive repair due to mesh integrity and printability concerns.

This divergence creates tension for tool design. The authors explicitly state that supporting both user groups within one interface is an open challenge, emphasizing the need to recognize and reconcile divergent sufficiency standards rather than relying on a single, universal quality metric.
