Scano3D vs STL Workshop

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 by default — no key, no account, no setup 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 Scanning needs an iPhone with a LiDAR scanner. Creating with AI, editing, importing and exporting work on any supported iPhone. Terms of Use: https://app.maddisys.co.uk/terms Privacy Policy: https://app.maddisys.co.uk/privacy

STL Workshop is a 3D model viewer and editor built for 3D printing. IMPORT • STL (binary, ASCII, colors), OBJ, PLY, 3MF, USDZ • From Files, Mail, AirDrop — open any model in seconds VIEW • 7 render modes: shaded, edges, wireframe, x-ray, normals, overhangs, wall thickness • Interactive section cut, layer preview, exploded view • Studio and HDR lighting, realistic materials ANALYZE • Full diagnostics: watertightness, manifold topology, normals, shells • Dimensions, volume, surface, weight and cost by material and infill • Estimated print time, bed stability, center of gravity • Precise measurements: distance, angle, diameter PREPARE • Automatic repair: filled holes, fixed normals, removed debris • Auto-orientation minimizing overhangs on import • Scale, rotate, mirror, lay flat, automatic base • Hollowing with drain holes (resin), drilling and booleans, embossed or engraved 3D text • Grid duplication, predefined printer beds EXPORT • STL, OBJ, USDZ and augmented reality (AR Quick Look) • HD transparent captures, 360° GIF • Direct upload to OctoPrint or WebDAV servers • Siri Shortcuts: convert to USDZ, repair an STL Units in millimeters.
