"Autodesk's 123D Catch, the app that lets you scan a 3D object by taking\u00A0panoramic-style\u00A0photos\u00A0from your iPad, PC or Web browser, is now available on the iPhone.\r\n\r\nAs we wrote when its iPad app was first released,\u00A0123D Catch\u00A0allows users to take up to\u00A040 photos of a specific object, which are then uploaded to Autodesk Cloud for processing. From there, the resulting 3D model can be rotated, shared, or even printed by a 3D printer like\u00A0MakerBot.\r\n\r\nIt's a magical idea, and while the results are by no means perfect (and usually need a touch up), as the service improves we could see the entire 3D industry transform with new-found accessibility. Now that the iPhone app is out, it's even easier to start experimenting with 3D, and with that comes added accessibility for 3D printers as well.\r\n\r\nNow, if you're wondering how this app could be used, here's an awesome example: not too long ago\u00A0MakerBot went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to scan art for the world to download, make and remix.\r\n123D Catch\u00A0is\u00A0part of Autodesk's\u00A0free suite of 3D apps, which also includes\u00A0123D Make,\u00A0123D Sculpt\u00A0and the desktop-only 123D.
