Fuse is a free 3D scanning app for iPhone that uses the hardware you already own. Seven scanning modes, each suited to different subjects and hardware: • LiDAR Mesh — fast, real-time mesh reconstruction using your iPhone's LiDAR scanner • Point Cloud — dense point cloud capture for precise spatial data • Gaussian Splat — photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction • Photogrammetry — multi-photo 3D reconstruction, works on any iPhone • TrueDepth — high-precision face and close-range object scanning using the front face-id camera • CAD Scan — structured capture aimed at accurate dimensional models • Hybrid — combines rear LiDAR for overall shape with front TrueDepth for fine detail and RGB texture, for the most complete scan Export your scans as PLY, OBJ, STL, or USDZ for use in CAD software, 3D printing, AR/VR, or game engines. Fuse3D runs entirely on-device using Apple's ARKit, LiDAR, and TrueDepth sensors. Hardware Limitations: LiDAR-based modes require an iPhone/iPad Pro model with a LiDAR scanner. TrueDepth modes require Face ID hardware. Photogrammetry works on any supported device.

About

Nellin controllers

Features
Read full description

Nellin lets you set up and monitor kiln firings from your phone. The app connects to your kiln controller over the local network and keeps the essential firing data on one screen. Track current and target temperature, program stage, and heating progress. Select firing programs, adjust controller settings, and receive alerts when a program finishes or the device needs attention. The app also includes maintenance guidance, reference information, and a library of useful firing profiles. Initial setup uses the controller's access point; afterward, the app discovers the device on your local network. Your phone and controller must be connected to the same local network for control. Available features may depend on the controller model and firmware version.
