Qlone: The 3D scanning smartphone app

3D scanning is one of the biggest allies to 3D printing, allowing you to transform real objects into a 3D model without having to work too hard on the design. With the ability to scan from spare parts or a simple object you like, the possibilities are unlimited. While 3D scanning can be an essential part of one’s work, for those who want to scan without using complex software are thus met with a challenge to find a program that can give what they want, without all the extras. Helping to solve this problem is Qlone, an application on your smartphone that was developed to be an alternative for users who are looking for an easy-to-use 3D scanning program.

The company behind Qlone is Eyecue Vision Technologies, a company that develops vision recognition software and AR/VR based solutions. They have already worked with toy manufacturers such as Playmobil, LEGO, and Bandai, and have already launched various products on the market. The new app Qlone was originally invented for this industry, but the team has already recognized the enormous potential for 3D content creation and 3D scanning. The goal of Qlone: Making 3D scanning available to everyone.

The challenge with the implementation of the plan was to create a 3D model with a 2D camera. Through a continuous development from 2D object acquisition to 3D object acquisition and positioning, they were finally able to offer the finished 3D scanning application. While the application isn’t difficult to use, the program itself is made up of different algorithms, technologies, and patents that, while complicated, are able to give the user a simple platform that’s easy to use.
