ScanToPrint turns your iPhone's LiDAR sensor into a pocket 3D scanner. Capture real-world objects in seconds and export clean, print-ready models straight to your 3D printer — no computer required. From keepsakes and figurines to vases and mechanical parts, ScanToPrint makes high-quality 3D capture simple. Every scan is automatically processed so it is ready to slice and print. KEY FEATURES • LiDAR 3D Scanning — Use your iPhone's LiDAR sensor to capture detailed 3D scans of real-world objects. • Print-Ready Optimization — Meshes are automatically processed: background removed, geometry optimized, and a flat base added for stable printing. • Real 3D Preview — Inspect every model with an interactive 3D viewer showing exact dimensions on each axis. • Print Estimation — See estimated volume, print time, and material weight before you start printing. • Flexible Export — Export print-ready STL (Binary or ASCII) and OBJ files with your preferred coordinate system. • Scale Control — Resize any model from 10 percent to 500 percent before exporting. • Project Library — Keep all your scans organized with mesh details, dimensions, and file sizes. • 100% Offline & Private — No account, no network, no tracking. Every scan stays on your device. Note: ScanToPrint requires a device with a LiDAR sensor (iPhone 12 Pro and later, iPad Pro 2020 and later). Start scanning the world and bring it to your 3D printer with ScanToPrint.

Depth3D turns your iPhone's TrueDepth sensor into a handheld 3D scanner for small objects, producing print-ready models in STL, OBJ, and 3MF formats. No turntable required Just place an object on your desk and move your iPhone slowly around it. Depth3D captures it from many angles and reconstructs the shape automatically. Ready to 3D print The app detects the desk plane and closes the bottom into a flat, watertight (manifold) mesh, so the result loads straight into your slicer as a printable model. Major 3D formats Export to STL, OBJ, or 3MF and bring your scan directly into your favorite slicer or CAD software. Designed to use without looking Because it uses the front camera, you can't see the screen while scanning. Haptics, sound, and full-screen color feedback let you follow scanning progress without watching the display. Great for - Custom cases for AirPods cases and small items - Duplicating and archiving figures and parts - Creating practice models for 3D printing Requires an iPhone with a TrueDepth sensor. All processing happens on device; your scan data is never sent anywhere.
