MeshGlaze vs Pocket 3D

Paint 3D models for multicolor printing, right on your iPhone or iPad. Import an STL or 3MF, choose your colors, and paint with your finger, or with Apple Pencil on iPad. All painting tools are free. A one-time purchase unlocks 3MF and OBJ export. No subscription. MAKE THE MODEL YOURS • Paint directly on the surface with round, square and flat brushes. • On iPad, use Apple Pencil pressure to vary stroke size. • Fill connected areas, parts, matching colors or the whole model. • Adjust Edge fill to control how color spreads across sharp edges. • Choose Detailed mode for finer painted details. • Build a palette of up to 8 colors and pick colors from a reference image. • Rotate, zoom and undo as you explore your color scheme. FROM MODEL TO PRINT WORKFLOW Import STL and 3MF files, including models that already have painted colors. Export a painted 3MF or an OBJ with material and texture files to continue in your desktop slicer or 3D art tools. Before printing, check the imported colors and assign filaments in your slicer. Color handling depends on the slicer and export format. PAINT WHEREVER YOU ARE Paint offline, with no account, ads or tracking. Automatic saving lets you resume your current painting. Start with the included sample model or import your own. FREE PAINTING. ONE-TIME EXPORT UNLOCK. Import and paint for free. The optional in-app purchase unlocks all export formats. No recurring payments.

Pocket 3D turns your iPhone into a proper STL viewer. Open a model, turn it over in your hand, and find out the things you actually need to know before you print it. MEASURE YOUR MODEL Bounding size on every axis, plus volume, surface area and triangle count. Everything is measured in the file's own coordinate frame, so the axes match your CAD software or slicer. Sizes are shown in millimetres, the standard convention for 3D printing. CHECK IF IT WILL PRINT In a closed mesh, every edge is shared by exactly two faces. Pocket 3D verifies that and reports the result. When a mesh is not watertight, the app withholds the volume figure rather than showing one, because on an open surface that number has no meaning. VIEW FROM ANY ANGLE One finger orbits, pinch zooms, two fingers pan. Snap to isometric, top, bottom, front, back, left or right, and re-frame at any time. MAKE IT READABLE Six model colours, four backdrops, and four shading modes: flat, smooth, wireframe and x-ray. X-ray fades the near surfaces so interior structure becomes visible. OPEN FILES FROM ANYWHERE Binary and ASCII STL with automatic format detection. Open from the file picker, your recents, or share a file straight into Pocket 3D from another app. A sample model is bundled so you can try it immediately. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No servers, no account, no sign-up. Files are read on your device and never leave it. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. Works with no internet connection.
