Description
Forma3D turns an iPhone or iPad into a complete scan-to-print workstation: fix broken STL files, sculpt new models, color them for multi-filament printing, and hand off print-ready 3MF files to a slicer — no desktop software or cloud involved. All mesh processing runs locally via Metal.
Multi-color printing done right: paint faces with brush, fill, eyedropper, or auto-segmentation, then export 3MF carrying real slicer profiles — printer, nozzle, layer height, infill, supports, brim, seam. Bambu Studio and Creality Print assign AMS filaments automatically; files go straight to MakerWorld and Bambu Handy.
A real modeling toolkit: component-level editing of vertices, edges, and faces — extrude, inset, bevel, mirror, revolve, remesh, simplify, subdivide — plus Manifold CSG booleans, nine cut shapes, and a curve-based bend tool. Eleven sculpting brushes with multiresolution, symmetry, matcap shading, and Pencil pressure.
Create from primitives, sketches, 3D text, curve tubes, SVG traces, photo reliefs, lithophanes, or procedural bolts, screws, gears, and racks. Scan real objects with LiDAR + Object Capture at three detail levels. Check printability with an overhang heatmap, split oversized models along edge loops with peg-and-socket joints, and fix non-manifold geometry via bridging and grid fill.
Imports/exports STL, 3MF, USDZ, ZIP, SVG; encrypted projects, autosave, full undo. Viewport extras: 8 X-Ray styles incl. live cross-section, HDRI and matcap lighting, ViewCube ortho views, editable camera FOV. 43 Blender-style hotkeys, Apple Pencil hover, interactive tutorials, 16 languages. Free with 3-day trial.
Description
OwlCAD is a browser-based parametric CAD editor aimed squarely at 3D printing, giving hobbyists and makers real engineering tools without installing software or buying a professional license.
Designs are driven by dimensions you can revisit at any time; edit a number and the part updates. Solids combine cleanly, fit presets (press, slip, loose) account for FDM tolerances, and a print check points out overhangs, walls too thin to print and open meshes before anything reaches your slicer. Hollowing, lay-flat orientation and print weight and cost estimates help you prepare the part itself.
The toolset covers constrained 2D sketches, fillets and chamfers on individual edges, sweeps, lofts, patterns, datum planes, measurement, and assemblies with mates, an exploded view and a parts list. More than 30 generators build gears, threads, enclosures, hinges and Gridfinity storage. Bring in STEP, STL, 3MF, OBJ or OpenSCAD files; send out STEP, STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB, DXF or SVG.
Your work autosaves locally and syncs to cloud projects with version history and share links. You can also publish a customizable model that others adjust and download. Whatever you design is yours to sell, prints and files alike, on every plan.
The editor is free. A Pro subscription adds AI that drafts either an editable parametric model or a sculpted mesh from a prompt, AI-assisted edits, and an MCP server so agents such as Claude Code or Cursor can model on your account. Pro users can bring their own provider key and skip credits. A desktop app is available too.
Open it and start designing; signing up is optional.

OwlCAD is free to use. The Free plan has no time limit and includes the full parametric editor, import and export in every supported format, the customizer, cloud projects with version history and sharing, and the printability tools. You keep full commercial rights to anything you design, on every plan.
Pro is $12 per month, or $120 per year (two months free). It adds AI generation across several models, Modify-with-AI, AI-assisted customizing, and MCP access for AI agents. Pro includes 20 AI credits a month, which reset monthly. Light parametric generations cost one credit, and detailed mesh models cost a few. One-time credit top-up packs never expire. Pro users can also bring their own AI provider key and generate without spending credits. Payments are handled by Stripe, and you can cancel anytime with no contract.
Classroom features for K-12 schools are free. Districts can add a pooled AI credit budget for teachers; contact OwlCAD for details.
