MeshBox turns any real-world object into a 3D model — ready for your slicer, your portfolio, or your next remix. Point your iPhone Pro or iPad Pro at anything — a trinket, a prototype, a vintage miniature — and walk around it. MeshBox's LiDAR-powered capture pipeline reconstructs the geometry on-device and delivers a clean, printable USDZ mesh in minutes. FEATURES • LiDAR 3D scanning powered by Apple's Object Capture • On-device mesh reconstruction — no servers, no uploads • Interactive 3D preview: drag to rotate, pinch to zoom • Organize scans into color-coded groups (albums) • Drag-and-drop curation — build collections in seconds • Export USDZ directly to any slicer, modeling app, or AR viewer • Liquid Glass design, native to iOS 26 • Optimized for both iPhone Pro and iPad Pro WHO IT'S FOR • 3D printing enthusiasts capturing objects to remix, resize or reprint • Tabletop hobbyists archiving minis, terrain and busts • Product designers and prototypers iterating on physical mockups • Researchers, museums and archivists preserving objects digitally • Anyone who wants to hold a memory in three dimensions HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap "Scan object" and choose a quality preset 2. Walk slowly around your subject — on-screen guidance keeps you on track 3. The on-device photogrammetry engine builds a textured mesh 4. Preview, name, group, and export straight to your printer or slicer REQUIREMENTS MeshBox needs a device with LiDAR: iPhone 12 Pro or later (Pro / Pro Max models) or iPad Pro (2020 or later). A well-lit, flat surface gives the best scans. PRIVACY Your scans stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded, processed in the cloud, or shared without your explicit action. No accounts, no sign-ups.

Turn real objects into 3D models with Voxelio. Capture everyday objects with Object Capture photogrammetry, or create Gaussian splats directly on your iPhone. Preview your work and export supported models or source datasets, with no cloud training step. Keep the calibrated capture too: export a desktop 3DGS bundle with video, JPEG frames, camera poses, intrinsics, Nerfstudio-compatible transforms.json, and COLMAP-style files, plus depth maps and a point cloud on depth-capable devices. Voxelio is also a complete 3D capture toolkit for supported iPhone and iPad devices: LiDAR mesh, point clouds, RoomPlan rooms, and Object Capture photogrammetry, built for 3D artists, developers, researchers, designers, and architects. Gaussian Splatting on device: - Gaussian Splatting capture for objects and scenes using AR world tracking and LiDAR depth on supported devices - On-device processing with selectable quality, an interactive 3D preview and SPZ export - Desktop dataset export presets for Nerfstudio / Brush, COLMAP / LichtFeld, and MipMap / Postshot video workflows More capture modes: - Room Scan for connected rooms and apartments: finish whenever you’re ready, review the native rotating RoomPlan model, export a measured 2D floor plan, or build a photorealistic 3D model - LiDAR mesh scans for rooms, interiors, surfaces, and furniture layouts - Colored point cloud capture for depth-based spatial data - RoomPlan exports with USDZ and JSON output where supported - Object Capture photogrammetry with USDZ output where supported - MultiCam or single-camera HEVC recording depending on device support Keep your scan workflow organized: - Preview saved scan projects on device - Manage captures in the My Scans gallery - Delete, export, and share local scan data when you need it - Move capture files into the 3D tools, AR workflows, CAD workflows, and reconstruction pipelines you already use Voxelio is made for practical spatial capture: create a Gaussian splat, scan a room, document a layout, capture an object, collect point cloud data, or export supported files for your next 3D workflow. No account is required to start scanning. Scan files stay on this device. Optional sign-in connects your identity and subscription status to Voxelio. Some capture modes require supported device hardware and system features such as LiDAR, RoomPlan, Object Capture, or MultiCam support.
