CubeSolve Scan 3D helps you solve a real 3Γ—3 cube: scan each face, correct colors, then follow step-by-step 3D moves with plain instructions. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan each of the six faces with the camera (or pick photos). 2. Align the face inside the dotted square β€” centers use the standard color scheme so orientation stays consistent. 3. Refine any sticker with the paint editor if auto-detect misses under bad lighting. 4. Review the full cube net, then tap Solve. 5. Follow Singmaster moves (R, U', F2…) with plain-language instructions and a 3D animation that shows exactly which layer to turn and which way. FEATURES β€’ Guided six-face capture with live camera guide β€’ Free camera scan β€” no subscription required β€’ Smart color detection with one-tap manual correction β€’ Cube net + 3D preview before solving β€’ Step-by-step solution with progress and move list β€’ Animated 3D cube that replays each turn β€’ Demo cube so you can practice without a physical puzzle β€’ No ads, no account, no tracking TIPS FOR BEST SCANS β€’ Use even lighting; avoid strong glare on stickers β€’ Fill the dotted box with one full face β€’ Keep the correct center color in the middle (white top, yellow bottom, green front, blue back, red right, orange left) β€’ Always review the cube net before computing a solution CubeSolve Scan 3D is built for beginners and casual solvers who want a clear 3Γ—3 guide β€” not a multi-size game hub or speedcube timer. Note: Solving depends on accurate face colors. Fix stickers in the paint editor if lighting was uneven.
