An offline-capable tool for milliners that turns head measurements and crown profiles into 3D-printable STL crown blocks.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-21 issue.

Why it surfaced

This is unusually concrete workshop software: choose round, oval, or long-oval geometry, select one of four crown profiles, export locally, and check the result in a slicer before printing. The V1 review build is candid about its limits, includes a matching stand, and asks working hat makers to report what they find.
