What it does
ShapeScan is an online tool that converts photos of real objects placed on an A4 sheet into true-scale SVG, DXF and STL files. Simply print a reference sheet, take a photo, upload it, and get files ready for 3D printing, CNC or laser cutting — no manual tracing or complex CAD required.
Convert photos of real objects on paper into true-scale SVG, DXF and STL files for laser cutting, CNC, foam inserts and CAD workflows.
Convert real objects into clean, true-scale files for laser, CNC, CAD and 3D-printing workflows. Processing runs securely on the ShapeScan server. Positive offset grows the shape; negative shrinks it. Marker measured size: measure one marker edge on the printed sheet; if you leave it at 0, the expected marker size is used. ShapeScan is free to use and continuously improving. If it helps your workflow, you can support ongoing development. Next Level Neo walks through scanning a real part and shows a solid example of how to use ShapeScan correctly. Progress includes manually entered donations, PayPal donations, Stripe lifetime purchases and paid premium subscription invoices when webhooks are…from shapescan.pt

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it.
