Turn anything around you into a 3D‑printable model in minutes. STL Buddy – Free 3D Scanner App & Instant STL Generator Turn anything around you into a 3D‑printable model in minutes. STL Buddy is a free 3D scanner app that lets you scan real‑world objects or upload photos/images and convert them into 3D STL files ready for 3D printing, games, AR/VR, and design. –––––––––––––––– WHAT STL BUDDY DOES –––––––––––––––– • Scan in 3D Use your iPhone or iPad camera to capture objects from multiple angles. Follow the on‑screen guide to walk around your object, just like in apps such as Qlone, Niantic Scaniverse, MagiScan, Abound, and Pixel 3D. • Image / Photo to 3D Upload a single image or a set of photos and let STL Buddy reconstruct a detailed 3D model using AI – perfect for quick concepts, product previews, and reference models. • Instant STL for 3D Printing Export STL in one tap, ready for Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Lychee, Simplify3D, and more. The pipeline focuses on watertight, print‑ready meshes. • Modern “Metascan” & Gaussian‑Inspired Tech STL Buddy uses a modern reconstruction pipeline inspired by metascan‑style multi‑view capture and gaussian‑like techniques to better preserve detail, shape, and lighting. Capture fidelity comparable to 3D scanner apps like Niantic Scaniverse, MagiScan, Abound, Qlone, and Pixel 3D, but tuned for STL output. –––––––––––––––– CORE FEATURES –––––––––––––––– • 3D Object Scanning Guided capture from all angles Works with just your camera – no extra hardware On‑device and cloud‑assisted processing • AI 3D Reconstruction From images, screenshots, or photo sets Automatically builds a mesh with texture Great for fast asset creation and prototyping • 3D Editing & Cleanup Crop and trim unwanted geometry Smooth or sharpen details Auto hole‑filling and mesh repair Set real‑world scale for accurate prints Re‑orient models to sit flat on the print bed • Export Formats STL (3D printing focus) OBJ, GLB/GLTF, FBX Compatible with Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Unity, Unreal, Fusion 360 (via mesh), and more –––––––––––––––– FREE VERSION –––––––––––––––– STL Buddy is a free 3D scanner app that includes: • Free scans each day • Free STL exports for core projects • Standard‑resolution models • Essential cleanup and repair tools No complicated setup.
