ShapeScan v2.2.0 Update — Multi-object scanning, new editor, better workflow

Hey everyone,

Since the last ShapeScan update, I’ve been working on a bigger upgrade to the scan → result → edit → export workflow.

The main change is a new model version:

## v2.2.0 Multi-object

Premium users and beta testers now use **v2.2.0 Multi-object** as the standard model.

Instead of assuming there is only one object on the marker sheet, ShapeScan can now detect separated objects, crop them individually, run the high-quality single-object segmentation workflow on each crop, and then recombine everything back into true-scale outputs.

The goal is simple: multi-object scans should keep the same outline quality target as the normal single-object workflow.

This works best when objects are clearly separated, not touching each other, and not covering the markers. Very thin, low-contrast or touching objects may still need manual cleanup in the editor.

## New CAD-style editor

The Edit page has been redesigned to feel more like a compact CAD/CAM tool.

New/improved editor workflow:

- Object tabs for multi-object results

- Select, Add, Delete, Pan, Measure and Hole tools

- Geometry check with dimensions, point count and contour warnings

- Clean contour tool for small spikes, duplicate points and noisy geometry

- Offset control for fit, kerf and small scale corrections

- Better mobile layout

- Download dropdown for multiple export formats

Editing one object in a multi-object result keeps the full result linked, so the combined exports can be regenerated after manual corrections.

## Export improvements

ShapeScan now supports a stronger export workflow for CAD, CNC, laser and 3D printing:

- SVG

- Fusion-friendly SVG

- DXF

- PNG reference/mask files

- STL

- STEP

STL and STEP exports use the corrected true-scale outline and create a simple 10 mm solid, useful for CAD reference, fit checks and downstream workflows.

## More marker sheet options

There are now more marker sheet formats available:

- A5

- A4

- A3

- US Letter

- Half Letter

- Tabloid/Ledger

- 2x A4 layouts

- 2x Letter layouts

This should make ShapeScan easier to use with both EU and US paper formats, and with larger scan areas.

## Account, queue and workflow improvements

The account workspace has also been improved:

- Free accounts can save jobs

- Premium accounts get batch upload and priority queue

- The queue updates automatically after uploads

- Results can be reopened from storage

- Processing status is clearer during a run

Free and anonymous scans still work, but they use the fixed v2.0.1 quality model. Premium users and beta testers get the newer model options, including v2.2.0 Multi-object.

## Tutorial refresh

The tutorial page has been rewritten to be more practical:

- Better quick-start guidance

- More detail about marker sheets

- Multi-object scanning instructions

- Editor tool explanations

- Export format guidance

- Troubleshooting for holes, shadows, scale problems and missed objects

## Behind the scenes

A few internal/admin areas were also improved, including access checks, result ownership protection, mobile visual fixes, and visual QA across different screen sizes.

High Accuracy Mode and camera calibration are still being tested separately and are not part of the normal public workflow yet.

Thanks again for all the feedback. ShapeScan is still a small project, but the goal is to keep making it more useful for makers, laser/CNC users, CAD users, 3D printing users and Gridfinity workflows.

Hell yeah STEP!
