What it is great at

  • Clean, watertight geometry with crisp edges, aimed at 3D printing.
  • Figurines and statuettes, where a solid printable mesh matters more than color.
  • A single photo to a print-ready shape, entirely on your Mac.

Trade-offs

  • Geometry only. It ships the shape as GLB and STL, without texture.
  • Takes minutes rather than seconds. On large-memory Macs it generates at higher detail.
