Hi- can anyone recommend a good LiDAR app that produces files that I can import to shapr?

I did a quick scan on scaniverse which did a really good job in really bad light, but there doesn’t seem to be an export option that works-

If there’s a similar app compatible with shaper I’d be glad to hear your experiences-

Thank you-

STL will probably be your best bet. That is what I usually use when importing scan data into Shapr3D. You won’t be able manipulate the file much, but you can design around it.

Thank you Kyle, appreciate the reply. I was hoping that there might be a more editable format available, just to be able to clean up the scan.

I don’t plan on using the scan for anything other than reference, so if all else fails it would still be useful
