Biggest update yet

LiDAR scanning, paint segmentation, interactive tutorials, and massive performance gains — all in one release.

📷

LiDAR Scanner with TSDF

Scan real-world objects using LiDAR with TSDF integration and marching cubes mesh extraction. Auto and manual capture modes with adjustable detail levels.

🎨

Paint Segmentation & Joints

Paint-based mesh segmentation with tongue-groove joints — cone, cylinder, square, and ball connectors. Split models into printable parts that snap together.

🌉

Bridge Faces

Connect open edges with auto, straight, and flip modes. Live preview lets you see the bridge before committing — perfect for fixing non-manifold geometry.

🎓

Interactive Tutorials

Built-in tutorial system with anchor highlighting. Learn the basics or dive into extended lessons — no external docs needed, everything in-app.

1M+ Polygon Performance

MTLBuffer geometry optimization for paint mode and edit drag. Handle meshes with over 1 million polygons smoothly on iPad and iPhone.

🌍

16 Languages

Full localization with 1,579 translated keys. Forma3D speaks your language — English, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, and more.

Everything you need to
prepare models for print

From quick edits to complex boolean operations — Forma3D brings desktop-grade mesh editing to your iPhone and iPad.

🎨

Face Paint & Multi-Filament

Paint individual faces with different colors directly in the editor. Export 3MF with per-face color data ready for multi-filament 3D printing. Bambu Studio and Creality Print auto-assign filaments — no manual slicer setup needed.

📐

Mesh Editing at Your Fingertips

Switch between Object Mode and Edit Mode. Select and edit vertices, edges, and faces with precision. Single, Rectangle, Oval, or Brush selection with multi-select support.

📷

3D Scanning with LiDAR

Scan real-world objects using LiDAR and photogrammetry (Object Capture). Choose auto or manual capture, select detail level, and import the reconstructed mesh directly into your scene.

✂️

Boolean & Manifold Cut

Union and subtract using the Manifold CSG engine for clean, manifold-safe results. Slice objects with line, rectangle, ellipse, circle, polygon, or freehand-drawn tools — perfect cutlines, ready to print.

📤

STL / 3MF / USDZ Export
