Dependency on private model facebook/sam-3d-objects limits framework's applicability

[RonWise]

Thanks a lot for this excellent and promising framework!

During installation, the script tries to download the facebook/sam-3d-objects weights from Hugging Face. However, access to this repository is restricted and requires submitting a form to Meta for approval. This effectively makes it a private dependency.

For an open-source framework aiming for broad applicability, relying on a private model creates a significant barrier for users and limits adoption.

Question: Is there a recommended way to replace this module with a fully open-source alternative? Perhaps an alternative model or a set of publicly available weights that could serve a similar purpose in the 3D segmentation pipeline?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
