Turn Photos Into 3D-Printable Models

A free browser-based 3D scanner that turns photos into printable STL models. AI Depth mode runs a quantised DepthAnything-V2 neural network on a single photo and converts the depth map into a displacement relief — perfect for medallions, lithopanes, and nameplates. Turntable mode reconstructs a full 3D object from 16–36 photos taken around a rotating subject using silhouette visual hull carving. Both modes run entirely in your browser with WebAssembly — no installs, no accounts.

How to scan a photo into a 3D model

1
Pick a mode

Single photo? Use AI Depth. Full 360° object with a turntable? Use Turntable.

2
Upload your photos

AI mode: one clear photo with the subject centred. Turntable mode: 16–36 photos covering the whole rotation.

3
Tweak parameters

Set the longest side in mm, depth strength, base thickness and resolution to balance detail against print time.

4
Preview the mesh

Orbit the live reconstruction; switch sensitivity or depth strength if the result drifts.

5
Download STL and print

Export, slice at 0.2 mm layer height, print in PLA at 15–30 % infill.

Scan real objects into printable meshes with nothing more than your phone camera.

Frequently asked questions

Which mode should I use?

AI Depth for reliefs — medallions, coins, faces, keepsakes, lithopanes. Turntable for full 3D objects — figurines, toys, small sculptures. If you only have one photo, AI Depth is your only option.

What camera works best?

Any modern phone. For the turntable mode, keep the distance, lighting and focus constant between shots; use a plain white or green background so the silhouette is easy to segment.

Why does the result look like a relief, not a sculpture?

A single photo only contains information about the front of the subject. AI Depth can only reconstruct visible geometry — it cannot see the back. Use Turntable mode if you need a fully enclosed object.

How accurate is it?

AI Depth is good for art and keepsakes (±1 mm on fine details, up to ±5 mm on overall shape). Turntable is more accurate for silhouette-dominant objects (±0.5 mm) but concave details can be lost.

Does it work offline after the first visit?

After the AI model finishes downloading once, the service worker caches it together with three.js and the page. Subsequent visits work even without an internet connection until the cache is cleared.

Can I print the result?

Yes — the exported STL is a closed, printable mesh. We run a watertight check and show a warning if it has open edges. Slice it in Cura, PrusaSlicer or Bambu Studio.
