Photo-to-Outline
Create a mesh outline from a photo for use in shadow boards or related tools.
Digitizing real tools is difficult easy.
The challenge
Capturing accurate tool outlines from photos is harder than it looks. Getting the scale right, keeping proportions consistent, and aligning images correctly all take time.
Design automation
The Photo-to-Outline App automatically scales and aligns your images to create accurate digital outlines. It removes the guesswork by converting photos into clean, properly sized meshes that are ready for layout or further design work.
The result
Precise digital outlines that match real tools perfectly. Layouts are faster to create, scale correctly every time, and integrate seamlessly into other Additive App Suite apps.
Create precise outlines
Turn photos into editable 3D placeholders.
Accurate scaling
Ensure accurate, true-to-size results by using the QR code as a scaling reference in your photo.
Push to other apps
Export the finished design for use in other apps in the Additive App Suite.
5 simple steps and your design is ready
Design workflow
Upload photo with QR code
Start with a clear, top-down image of your tool or workpiece that includes a QR code for automatic scale detection.
Launch app
Define the scale
The app reads the QR code to set precise dimensions, ensuring accurate sizing every time.
Clean the image
Crop and adjust contrast to make the tool’s outline stand out clearly.
Generate the outline
Convert the photo into an accurate, scaled mesh outline in seconds.
Export or reuse
Use the outline directly in shadow board designs or send it into other Additive App Suite apps.
