Worth noticing
The page says the image is resized in-browser before being sent, and warns that unseen surfaces are reconstructed plausibly rather than scanned.

Field notes

The workflow is presented as a single-image reconstruction, not a scan: the site says the model infers geometry that the camera never saw. It names TRELLIS-2 via fal.ai and advises running a slicer repair check on generated meshes. Separately, the listed format converters and STL viewer are described as running in the browser without a usage meter.
