Code2Form comes to iPhone and iPad: open a design from Files and turn it in 3D with a finger, scan an object with an iPhone that has a LiDAR camera, then take the scan to the studio on the Mac and measure it to draw your part around it.

What's new

  • Code2Form on iPhone and iPad (#44, #45, #46): a native app over the same Rust engine as the studio. It opens .c2f and .scad files from Files or iCloud Drive and draws them with Metal, with the studio's camera and lighting: one finger turns, two fingers move, a pinch zooms and a double tap frames the model. A card gives the model's size, triangles and volume, or the error that stopped the program at its line. A design that includes, imports or wires files beside it asks once for its folder. It is in TestFlight now, on its way to the App Store.
  • Scan an object (#47): on an iPhone or iPad with a LiDAR camera (an iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro), "Scan an object" opens Apple's guided capture: walk around the object, flip it for its underside, and the device rebuilds the mesh itself. It is saved as an STL in millimetres, Z up and standing on the XY plane, in Code2Form › Scans, and sent to the Mac by AirDrop.
  • A scan as a reference in the studio (#48): drop a mesh on an open design and it goes in as %import("…"), drawn see-through and left out of the model and its exports. The section view now draws the cut's outline, scans included, and its card gives the outline's size: cut a scan at a height and read its width and depth to write the part again.
  • Agents know scans (#49): the MCP server tells Claude and the studio's agent what a scan from the app is (millimetres, Z up, true to a millimetre or two) and how to use one: as a %import() reference, measured with section, with the user's caliper sizes over it and clearance where a part touches it.

Known limitations

  • A scan is true to a millimetre or two. Glossy, black and see-through surfaces do not rebuild (a watch's screen comes out as a hole); a matte, textured object in bright, diffuse light scans best.
  • The iPhone and iPad app opens and shows designs; setting parameters, exporting and editing the code on the device come next.
  • projection() without cut keeps holes open where the reference implementation fills them, which changes the volume of some models (0.3% on the GEB example).
  • Part annotations are plain numbers: a part's pins do not follow its parameters.
  • Masses and some dimensions of the library's parts are estimated where no source gives them; each file says which.
  • A part in your own library (~/Documents/Code2Form/libraries) is found before the app's part of the same name.

Downloads

File For
Code2Form-0.7.0-macos-universal.zip The app, for every Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), macOS 11 or later
c2f-0.7.0-macos-universal.zip The command line and MCP server, same platforms
SHA256SUMS.txt Checksums of both

The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple: it opens without a warning.

The iPhone and iPad app is in TestFlight; it will be on the App Store after Apple's review. To build it yourself, see apps/ios/project.yml.

The agent needs Claude Code 2.1.300 or later, signed in, or an Anthropic API key (Settings › Agent).

Windows and Linux: build from source with Rust 1.85 or later (cargo build --release); see the README.
