About Forma3D
Forma3D is an independent 3D mesh editor for iPhone and iPad, built by a solo developer. It exists to make 3D printing workflows — editing meshes, painting filament colors, splitting oversized models — fully possible without a desktop computer.
Who makes Forma3D
Forma3D is designed and developed by Denis Vazyulya, an independent developer. The app is self-funded and supported by in-app purchases — there is no venture funding, no ads, and no data sale. Feature priorities come directly from user feedback.

Why it exists
Most 3D printing preparation still assumes a desktop: mesh repair, splitting a model that exceeds the build plate, repainting 3MF filament colors, importing a scan. Forma3D ports that toolchain to touch devices — the LiDAR scanner, the file system, and the screen are already in your pocket.
What the app does
- Mesh editing — STL, 3MF, and USDZ import; vertex, edge, and face tools; Boolean cuts, splitting with alignment joints, repair
- Color painting — per-face and vertex painting for multi-filament 3MF export, compatible with Bambu Studio and other slicers
- LiDAR scanning — capture objects on supported LiDAR-equipped iPhone/iPad models, clean and export the mesh
- Mobile workflow — scan, edit, paint, and export entirely on-device
