Innovations in technology are moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up. For now, though, it’s the little things that matter on a day-to-day basis.
Tasks that used to take hours to create can now take minutes.
Creating video guides and tutorials for products is among the most labor-intensive and time-consuming necessities when marketing a product.
Turning a 3D Printing Guide into an AI-Narrated Video
If you have ever created the likes of a 3D printing tutorial, you know the pain. Shaky video, voiceover interruptions, background noise, mispronouncing words, forgetting where you were, and having to stumble through the narration.
But what if you could get a professional narration in minutes? No studio or voice actors?
Say thank you to AI avatar technology. Creators now have the tools to automate voiceovers without losing the 'human' factor and keeping their guides interesting, easy to understand, and done in minutes.
Custom AI avatars are the way forward.
Step 1: The Script
Start with a clear, step-by-step structure like this 3D printer calibration example:
"First, heat your nozzle to 200°C. Next, slide a sheet of paper under the nozzle until you feel slight resistance..."
This is a good point to simplify instructions using a script.
Step 2: The AI Voiceover
- Sign up for Synthesia.io (free trial available).
- Paste your script.
- Choose an AI avatar and voice.
Step 3: Add Visuals
Use video creation software (e.g., Timeline):
- Place visuals that explain each step.
- Sync visuals with narration.
Step 4: Editing
Once you have a template, you can change the language, background, dubbing, captions, and fine-tune/finalize your tutorial.
Having a good template makes it easier for future reuse or if you’re doing any updates.
The Future: AI Avatars and 3D Printing
As intimidating as AI and 3D printing can be, these things are growing in popularity and use. There are predictions that every household will have a 3D printer and every industry will be using AI.
These might be some of the considerable changes we’ll see in the near future:
3D Printing
- 3D print shop access.
- Kids showcasing creations.
- Medical equipment in hospitals (perhaps even printing biomatter).
- Money-saving across industries.
AI
A recent report by Globalization Partners (GP) states:
- 91% of global executives are actively scaling up their AI initiatives.
- 74% of executives use AI for more than 25% of their work.
- 82% of HR leaders believe AI is essential to their company's success.

Conclusion
AI-narrated tutorials may seem small, but it’ll be the little things that help save money, time, and keep a business going.
Whether you’re a YouTuber, TikToker, or a local Tourist Company, you’ll be affected and could possibly benefit from learning about the tech that is out there.
Use it to make your content or business better and more efficient.
