Qlone 3D Scanner

If you’re looking for a good phone scanner that’s very reasonably priced for unlimited outputs and provides pretty decent scans, this is it. It has its limitations. Some of my scans come out really well. The biggest thing is lighting the scene. If you don’t have good light your scan won’t look good. It seems to really help when I spray my models primer gray. However, it still has trouble discerning between what’s the texture map and what is a shape. They should have a non-texture scan option that gives greater detail and more accuracy to the shape. Other than that, the software is pretty amazing. The fact that you can take two scans and don’t have to line them up is awesome. If you’re scanning on a tablet or phone, give this a shot.

I downloaded this app to see if I could scan objects and 3D print them, it all went well... not really. I tried scanning a sea shell the first time, it turned out pretty well, I then tried scanning a small metal whale, that turned out terrible. I thought to myself “the app was free so maybe it can’t do really complicated things” so I tried scanning a round tube, it was horrible! The scan turned out all wavy and messed up, didn’t even resemble a pipe! I was like “oh well, might as well see if I can print the shell I scanned” (this is where the one star comes into place) never mind the fact that the app does not scan well, they want to charge a dollar for one export! If you want to export 5 things, THATS FIVE DOLLARS! That is what really upset me, I think this app has the potential to improve but charging that much is absurd, I might as well save up for a real 3D scanner because you would get more bang for your buck depending on how much you want to scan and print

Update: unlimited 3 month subscription for $15? Works for me! No worries about mistakes or redo's. subbed. Edit: great app, stupid $$ system per model cost to export. What a shame. I would pay up to $20 for unlimited, but certainly not interested in per model pricing. NOPE. This app is by far the best 3d scanning app for iPhone. It's all about that Printable Mat. I used an old Turntable that I could remove the center spindle on and it makes scanning an object far easier than any solution I've tried so far. Near perfect results on first try. So. Cool. It's easier than what I saw in demos for the Xperia xz1, the Wacom tablet, and has unlimited size and portable unlike the HP sprout I almost got. Can't wait to see what advancements come with the iPhone X IR sensors.

For some reason, every rectangular thing I scanned ended up looking like a pyramid. I wanted to just open it up and see what the program was getting wrong, but oh boy then you realise these guys are not interested in selling you software, they’re interested in rent seeking. Nasty. Besides — the scans are at best at a ‘curiosity’ quality. It’s cool to show your friends what the app can do. There is no way that this would be anything remotely usable, so I’m very confused by their pricing, which suggests that they think they have something that outputs sellable quality scans. (Most rent seekers have something to seek rent by, after all.) It doesn’t. They’re delusional.

To start with the actual performance, it’s ok. You’re not going to get high quality 3d models like you would get with an actual scanner. They’re alright for things that don’t require high detail. That being said the “service” is too expensive to be usable. They charge you a dollar PER EXPORT or $99 PER YEAR! The service the app provides defiantly doesn’t justify the cost. I’ve seen other reviews where the company has commented saying something along the lines of “review the app not the business model” but then you’re “business model” makes your app prohibitively expensive, it’s important to take that into consideration.
