Design, edit and prepare 3D models for printing right on your phone or tablet, or tell an AI agent what you need and watch it build the model for you. 3D Model Print Simple Edit is a fast 3D editor made for touchscreens, makers and 3D printing fans. No desktop CAD and no steep learning curve: shape your idea, check it for printing and send it to your slicer. SIMPLE OR ADVANCED Start in Simple mode with the essential tools, or switch to Advanced for every tool, including the Print panel. Your models and files are the same in both. READY TO PRINT • The Print panel checks for holes, thin walls, overhangs, floating parts and whether the model fits your printer's bed, and its results match a real slicer • Weight and print time estimate, with a material for each object • Best orientation lays the part flat in one tap • Fix the model: Repair (watertight), Hollow, Cut flat or split and Symmetrize, each with a preview • Printer presets and a real-size grid in mm, cm or inches LET AI BUILD IT — MCP Connect Claude or any AI agent that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Copy the setup prompt from the app, paste it into your agent and describe what you need: "a phone stand" or "a box with a lid". The agent creates and edits real objects in your scene while you watch it work, and an agent on your computer can also work with the app on your phone or tablet over your Wi-Fi network. Then refine, sculpt and paint the result by hand. Go from one sentence to a print-ready model in minutes. SCULPTING Push, pull, inflate, smooth and pinch surfaces with intuitive brushes. Print brushes (Layer, Scrape, Fill, Clay, Crease) and Protect base keep the part printable. CAD-STYLE EDITING • CSG: union, subtract and intersect solids to cut holes and join parts • Walls: push and pull faces by an exact distance • Points: move vertices with soft selection and lasso • Round edges; twist, bend, taper and mirror parts • Draw your own shapes and turn them into 3D objects • 3D text in your own fonts, in all 15 app languages, Arabic and Hindi included • Screws, nuts, print-in-place hinges and gears from a parametric catalogue COLOURS FOR MULTICOLOUR PRINTING Paint areas, walls and whole objects. The colour picker shows the colours already in your project, and "Whole colour" changes a colour everywhere in one step. 3MF files keep each colour in its own filament slot. YOUR FILES • Import STL, 3MF, OBJ with MTL and textures, glTF/GLB, SVG and .zip, several files at once • Export a 3MF for your slicer with build plates, or STL, OBJ and glTF, also one file per object • Big models save, open and import in the background, with progress and Cancel • Autosave reopens your project, and Undo and Redo name every step BUILT FOR TOUCH • Normal or Large interface size, light or dark theme • 15 languages, including Arabic (right to left), Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean • Built-in help with short videos for every tool • Works great on phones and tablets WHO IS IT FOR? • 3D printing hobbyists who want to modify models on the go • Makers who need a custom part, bracket or replacement quickly • Beginners who want to create without complicated CAD software • Anyone curious to see how AI can design real, printable objects Download 3D Model Print Simple Edit and turn your ideas, or your prompts, into real objects.
