## What is Scano3D?

Describe a model and print it. Or scan a real object and make it printable.

Scano3D is an AI model maker and 3D scanner for your iPhone. Type what you want and get a watertight, print-ready mesh back — or capture something real with LiDAR and turn it into a model you can slice.

CREATE WITH AI
• Text to model: "a red toadstool with white spots" becomes a real mesh, not a placeholder
• Attach a reference photo and the model is built to match it
• Refine by conversation: "make it 80 mm tall", "give it a smiling face" — each turn edits the existing design instead of starting over
• The design chat travels with the model, so a refinement weeks later still knows the original brief
• Dictate your idea instead of typing it
• Generation keeps running while the app is in the background
• Typically 20–60 seconds; complex prompts can take up to two minutes

SCAN WITH LiDAR
• Quick, Detailed and Turntable capture modes
• Object isolation: tap an object and the table, floor and background are discarded rather than welded into the model
• Crop the capture before it becomes a model
• Live mesh overlay so you can see coverage as you go

MESH TOOLS
• Make Print-Ready in one tap: floaters, holes, welding and simplification, in the right order
• Remove floaters — debris is deleted, but large detached parts are snapped back on rather than thrown away
• Fill holes, weld vertices, smooth, simplify, clean up
• Scale to an exact size in millimetres
• Delete individual parts of a multi-body model
• Undo and redo survive quitting the app

IMPORT & EXPORT
• Import STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB and USDZ
• Export STL for printing, 3MF with colour (one object per colour, Bambu-compatible), OBJ, GLB and USDZ
• Live readout of triangle count and whether the mesh is watertight

AI PROVIDERS
• Cloud AI through the Maddisys gateway by default — no key, no account, no setup
• Or bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key
• Or use Apple's on-device foundation model, which needs no network at all

FREE & PRO
• Free: 3 exports to start, then 1 more each month, plus 3 Cloud AI actions a month
• Scanning, mesh tools, the viewer and import are unrestricted on the free plan
• Pro, monthly or yearly with a 7-day free trial: unlimited exports, 40 Cloud AI actions a month, and bring-your-own-key providers
• Top-ups: 20 or 50 extra Cloud AI actions as a one-time purchase, never expiring
• A failed generation is refunded automatically — you are never charged for a model you didn't receive
• Cancel anytime in Settings; you keep Pro until the end of the billing period

PRIVACY
• Your scans and models stay on the device — nothing is uploaded to be stored
• Cloud AI sends your prompt, and your reference image if you attach one, to generate the model. Nothing else leaves the phone
• Dictation is transcribed on-device where your locale supports it
• The Apple on-device provider works with no network at all

Scanning needs an iPhone with a LiDAR scanner. Creating with AI, editing, importing and exporting work on any supported iPhone.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.2 — 2026-08-22

If Scano3D has just saved you a model, it may ask what you think of it. It waits until an export has actually landed on disk, so it can never interrupt a scan or a generation.

Scano3D is also now available in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-13

NEW in 1.3.1:
• Speak your idea instead of typing it — tap the mic in the AI chat and keep talking; pauses no longer wipe what you already said
• Your design conversation now travels with the model, so a refinement weeks later still knows what you originally asked for
• Long generations finish properly instead of being cut off near the end
• You are never charged for a generation that fails

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-08

NEW in 1.3.0:
• Import STL and 3MF files straight into your gallery
• Delete individual parts of a model in the editor
• Smarter clean-up: large detached parts are snapped back into place instead of being removed
• Top up your Cloud AI actions with credit packs in Settings
• Improved model viewer framing on all screen sizes
• Bug fixes and performance improvements

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-23

Introducing Cloud AI — describe an object, or snap a photo of one, and Scano3D generates a 3D model for you, then refine it with AI. Also new: full-colour 3MF export for multi-material printing, and a more detailed default scan.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-15

No release notes.
