Forma3D is a professional 3D mesh editor for iPad and iPhone — built for makers, 3D printing enthusiasts, and anyone who needs to fix or modify 3D models on the go.
No laptop. No cloud. Everything runs locally on your device, offline, with desktop-grade mesh editing capabilities.
? FACE PAINT & MULTI-FILAMENT 3MF EXPORT
Paint individual faces with different colors directly in the editor, then export a 3MF file with per-face color data ready for multi-filament 3D printing. Bambu Studio and Creality Print automatically assign filaments based on the embedded paint codes — no manual slicer setup needed. This is a desktop-only feature in slicer software, now available on mobile exclusively in Forma3D.
? MESH EDITING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Switch between Object Mode and Edit Mode. Select and edit individual vertices, edges, and faces with precision. Use Single, Rectangle, Oval, or Brush selection tools with Multi-select support. Move, rotate, and scale with an interactive transform gizmo or numeric input.
? PROFESSIONAL MODELING TOOLS
• Extrude — push faces in or out with live preview and direction toggle
• Inset — shrink or grow faces inward with adjustable depth
• Bevel — round edges with custom segments and profile control (desktop-grade bevel algorithm)
• Boolean Operations — Union and Subtract using Manifold CSG library
• Manifold Cut — slice meshes with Line, Circle, Ellipse, Rectangle, Polygon, or Freehand shapes
• Mirror — symmetrically duplicate geometry across X, Y, or Z axis
• Revolve — create lathe geometry by rotating a profile
• Subdivide — add resolution where you need it
• Simplify — reduce polygon count for lighter exports
• Remesh — retopologize with uniform quad-dominant mesh
• Vertex Sculpting — push and pull vertices with gesture-based brush
• 3D Text — add extruded text to your scene
• Color — paint all faces of a mesh with a single tap
Import STL and 3MF files. Export to STL, 3MF, or USDZ formats.
? 3D SCANNING (LiDAR)
Capture real-world objects with your iPhone or iPad LiDAR scanner and edit the resulting mesh directly in the app — scan, fix, and print without switching apps.
? APPLE PENCIL SUPPORT
Hover tooltips with Apple Pencil. Precise vertex dragging and component selection optimized for Pencil input.
