What Qlone is
Qlone is a 3D scanning app for creating, editing, and exporting models of physical objects. It runs on iOS and macOS and supports scans using a printable Qlone mat or mat-free AR and Photo modes; Photo mode supports 4K images. Its editor can fill mesh holes, soften texture imperfections, simplify meshes, smooth or erase areas, and sculpt models. Export formats include OBJ, STL, FBX, GLB, PLY, and X3D, with USDZ available on iOS. Models can be uploaded directly to Sketchfab, i.materialise, Shapeways, Snapchat Lens Studio, and CGTrader. They can also be shared as MP4 or GIF videos through iMessage, WhatsApp, and other social platforms. The maker says mat-free processing uses Qlone Cloud and that it does not store or view users' models; scans made with the mat are processed on the phone. LiDAR is not required. The app is free to download, but premium export, animated AR view, and 4K scanning require an upgrade.
