Description

Forma3D is a dedicated application for iPhone and iPad that enables users to create, modify, and prepare 3D meshes, and it is also compatible with Apple silicon Macs. The app supports the import of various model formats such as STL, 3MF, OBJ, and USDZ, and offers a range of editing features including vertex, edge, and face manipulation, as well as transforms, extrusion, beveling, Boolean operations, mesh repairs, planar cuts, and model segmentation. Users can design their models through sketches, text, procedural shapes, image-based mesh generation, and sculpting tools, and they also have the option to paint different parts for multicolor printing. Forma3D allows for the export of popular mesh formats, including 3MF files that retain color and printer-specific metadata for seamless integration with compatible slicing workflows. All modeling and mesh processing occur directly on the device, which means users can work offline without any interruptions. However, it’s important to note that exported files must be opened or uploaded individually in slicing software or print services, as Forma3D does not offer direct connectivity to 3D printers, ensuring users have flexibility in how they choose to print their creations. With its extensive features and user-friendly interface, Forma3D stands out as a powerful tool for both novice and advanced 3D modelers.

Description

The open-source platform designed for the processing and editing of 3D triangular meshes offers an array of tools for various tasks, such as editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering, texturing, and converting these meshes. It includes capabilities for handling raw data generated by 3D digitization devices and for preparing models suitable for 3D printing applications. In the latest update, support has been added for multiple file formats (.gltf, .glb, .nxs, .nxz, .e57), along with the introduction of a new plugin dedicated to precise mesh boolean operations. A critical phase in the workflow for handling 3D scanned data is the 3D data alignment process, often referred to as registration. MeshLab equips users with robust tools to align various meshes within a unified reference framework, effectively managing extensive sets of range maps. Additionally, it features a finely-tuned Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm for one-to-one alignment, which is complemented by a global bundle adjustment step to optimize error distribution. Users can perform this alignment on both meshes and point clouds obtained from a variety of sources, including active scanners, whether they operate over short or long ranges. This versatility enhances the overall functionality and effectiveness of the tool in 3D data processing.
