Hi there, been actively using shapr the last 2-3 years from my iPad Pro and love it.
I focus on designing upgrade parts for scale model cars to be 3D printed - either more detailed & realistic than what’s available in kits, or specialty parts to help recreate real cars in scale.
My biggest challenge is bodywork - I want to be able to design an item in shapr, which fits directly onto a contoured surface.
At the moment, I import a photo of the cross section and try to mimic, however the contour changes across the plane.
Option 1:
Upgrade the iPad to be Lidar compatible and scan.
Option 2:
Buy a 3D scanner and import.
For both options I believe they mostly export OBJ or STL formats. So not sure how to “subtract” the imported plane from the .shapr plane, to leave me with a piece that fits the imported plane.
Any other ideas or has someone conquered this?
