Together with DAISEC experts Julian and Walter, the carpentry workshop Dein Freund is working on the furniture design of the future. Using the text-to-image generator Stable Diffusion, the carpentry shop wants to create an image library with furniture drafts that it can use as a basis for customer advice and furniture design. The AI software is able to transform any text input into photo-realistic images.
Durch die Verwendung einer Design-Skizze in Verbindung mit einer Wortbeschreibung, auch als ‚Prompt‘ bezeichnet, soll die KI in der Lage sein, die Skizze mit Farbe und Details zu vervollständigen. Der Einsatz der generativen KI für das Designen von Möbeln ist jedoch nicht trivial. Hier kommen Julian (KI-Experte) und Walter (Handwerks-Experte) ins Spiel.
Together with Wilhelm and Anke Freund, the DAISEC experts discussed the carpentry company's ideas and accompanied them during the implementation of AI. This included an introduction to Stable Diffusion, the local installation of the tools needed for image generation (Stable Diffusion, ControlNet and Automatic1111) and the creation of a best practice guide. A detailed description of the practical example can be found here.
With the use of AI for the design creation of their furniture, the carpentry workshop Dein Freund relies on a trend in the trade that guarantees faster work processes and supports the creative work of the furniture designers. Where work is otherwise traditionally done with CAD programmes and on paper, the AI programme brings new perspectives into play and offers new incentives for customers and carpenters alike by adapting designs directly in the sales conversation. Thanks to this digital concept, customers get the furniture they want faster and the joinery can work more efficiently.
