Description

Forma3D turns an iPhone or iPad into a complete scan-to-print workstation: fix broken STL files, sculpt new models, color them for multi-filament printing, and hand off print-ready 3MF files to a slicer — no desktop software or cloud involved. All mesh processing runs locally via Metal. Multi-color printing done right: paint faces with brush, fill, eyedropper, or auto-segmentation, then export 3MF carrying real slicer profiles — printer, nozzle, layer height, infill, supports, brim, seam. Bambu Studio and Creality Print assign AMS filaments automatically; files go straight to MakerWorld and Bambu Handy. A real modeling toolkit: component-level editing of vertices, edges, and faces — extrude, inset, bevel, mirror, revolve, remesh, simplify, subdivide — plus Manifold CSG booleans, nine cut shapes, and a curve-based bend tool. Eleven sculpting brushes with multiresolution, symmetry, matcap shading, and Pencil pressure. Create from primitives, sketches, 3D text, curve tubes, SVG traces, photo reliefs, lithophanes, or procedural bolts, screws, gears, and racks. Scan real objects with LiDAR + Object Capture at three detail levels. Check printability with an overhang heatmap, split oversized models along edge loops with peg-and-socket joints, and fix non-manifold geometry via bridging and grid fill. Imports/exports STL, 3MF, USDZ, ZIP, SVG; encrypted projects, autosave, full undo. Viewport extras: 8 X-Ray styles incl. live cross-section, HDRI and matcap lighting, ViewCube ortho views, editable camera FOV. 43 Blender-style hotkeys, Apple Pencil hover, interactive tutorials, 16 languages. Free with 3-day trial.

Description

Polycam stands out as the premier 3D capture app available for both iPhone and iPad! With just your device, you can effortlessly create high-quality 3D models from photographs, and if you have a LiDAR sensor, you can quickly scan entire spaces. The app allows you to edit your 3D captures right on your device and supports exporting in more than twelve different file formats. You can easily share your creations with friends and the broader Polycam community through Polycam Web, and even discover captures from around the world on Poly World! The photogrammetry feature enables you to transform photos into 3D models, making it particularly effective for scanning intricate objects and scenes. Additionally, it produces 3D assets that can be seamlessly integrated into any computer graphics software. Compatible with any iPhone or iPad, the app offers unlimited free scanning capabilities without requiring an internet connection. You can also take endless measurements with inch-level precision using the Ruler tool, and enjoy the convenience of automatic measurements derived from LiDAR captures. For those looking to enhance their experience, upgrading to Polycam Pro allows users to generate scale-accurate blueprints, adding even more functionality to this already versatile app. Ultimately, Polycam provides a comprehensive solution for anyone interested in 3D modeling and spatial scanning.
