Qlone is a 3D scanning app that allows users to create, edit, and export 3D models on iOS and Android devices.[1] These 3D models have applications in augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D printing, educational technology, product design, fine art, science, and manufacturing.[2]

Qlone was released on the Apple App Store on June 15, 2017, and was featured at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in 2021.[3][4]

Qlone features

3D scanning

3D scanning with Qlone requires the use of an included mat design. The user prints the mat onto a sheet of paper, then places the object to be scanned in the centre of the mat. An augmented reality dome within the Qlone app guides the user through the subsequent scanning process.[5]

Qlone allows the user to scan the object in two different positions. The application then automatically merges the two scans to facilitate a more accurate final model.[6]

The scans are processed in real-time on the user's smartphone, with no internet connection required.[7]

3D editing

Qlone's editing features allow users to adjust their 3D scanned models using texture mapping, polygon mesh size simplification, digital sculpting, cleaning and smoothing, and artistic effects.[8]

File export

Qlone exports directly to multiple 3D platforms including SketchFab[9], i.materialise, Lens Studio for SnapChat, Shapeways and CGTrader. Models can also be exported to a variety of popular 3D formats for use in other 3D tools – OBJ, STL, FBX, USDZ, GLB (Binary gITF), PLY, and X3D.[10]

Additional features

Users can interact with their 3D scanned models in augmented reality, and animate their models using Qlone’s skeletal animation/rigging tools.[11]

Examples of use

Qlone has been used for:

Company

Software development company EyeCue Vision Technologies Ltd was founded in May 2007 with a focus on creating technology to connect the digital and physical world. Specializing initially in interactive toys and games with clients including Playmobil and Bandai[19], EyeCue launched their first application, LEGO Life of George, in collaboration with the LEGO Group.[20]
