ShapeScan expands photo-to-vector workflows

This is a practical computer-vision tool aimed at fabrication workflows, not another generic “AI image” demo. The real value is its push toward stable, manufacturable geometry that can survive the jump from phone photo to cutter, router, or CAD package.

• –ShapeScan’s strongest edge is calibration and geometry cleanup: marker-based correction, contour smoothing, hole preservation, and scale-aware exports make it more useful than a basic vectorizer.
• –Direct output to SVG, DXF, and STL gives it a credible path into laser cutting, CNC, reverse-engineering, and Gridfinity-style maker workflows.
• –The experimental sketch mode is the bigger product story because it expands ShapeScan from object capture into paper-to-CAD prototyping for drawn shapes and templates.
