## What is ObjectForge?

3D models straight from your iPhone – no cloud, no subscription. Photograph,
compute, export. For any object you can hold.

ObjectForge turns your iPhone into a capable 3D scanner. Figurines, tools, jewel-
lery, design models, prototypes – anything you can hold in your hand can become
a print-ready or CAD-ready 3D model. All on-device, no cloud, no subscription.

HOW IT WORKS
Using Apple's Object Capture technology, you photograph an object from multiple
angles. PartScan then computes a high-resolution, textured 3D model directly on
your iPhone. No server. No waiting.

REFINE YOUR MODEL
The built-in editor lets you smooth surfaces, close gaps in the mesh and correct
the texture exposure – all non-destructively. Edits are always saved as a new
copy; the original scan is never overwritten.

EXPORT READY FOR CAD
Export finished models in three formats:
• STL – straight into your 3D printer or slicer
• STEP (AP214) – for CAD applications such as Fusion 360 or FreeCAD
• USDZ – for AR preview and sharing with other Apple devices

The export unit (mm, cm, inch) can be set freely in Settings. STEP is always
written in millimetres, following the CAD standard.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
Matte, textured surfaces work best. Use even, diffuse lighting and move slowly
around the object in overlapping passes from multiple heights. Shiny, reflective
or uniformly smooth objects are more difficult to capture accurately.
