Physical Stage Scanning Meets 1:48 Scale 3D Printing.

SetForge bridges the physical stage and director’s model box. Capture real proscenium architecture with iPad LiDAR, decimate point clouds in the cloud, track motorized scenic wagons in real time, and export 1/4" = 1'-0" diorama 3D prints in one synchronized workflow.

From Stage Deck to Model Box in 4 Steps

The traditional scenic model box process takes weeks of balsa wood cutting and foam carving. SetForge turns real physical stages into 3D prints in under an hour.

STEP 01

Stage LiDAR Scanning

Native iPad Pro & iPhone Pro ARKit

Walk the proscenium, apron, and backstage wings. Capture true physical architectural geometry without manual tape measures or guesswork.

10mm Point Precision
Zero Calibration
Full Depth Mesh
STEP 02

Cloud Decimation

Sub-Second Polygon Simplification

High-density millions of LiDAR points are decimated down to clean 20,000-poly watertight meshes via our high-speed Cloud Run geometry pipeline.

<1.2s Decimation
Manifold Repair
Planar Flattening
STEP 03

3D CAD & Wagon Blocking

WebGL Stage Manager Viewport

Block motorized wagons, automated scenic drops, and traveler curtains. Inspect sightlines from extreme balcony and box seats in real-time 3D.

Sightline Cones
Wagon Velocity Paths
Cue Sync
STEP 04

1:48 Scale 3D Print

Broadway Model Box STL Export

Export production-ready sliced STLs scaled precisely to standard theatrical 1/4" = 1'-0" (1:48) scale with snap-fit baseplate registration pins.

The Broadway Director’s Model Box

Traditional balsa wood and foam board model boxes take scenic designers days to hand-cut with X-Acto knives. SetForge automatically generates interlocking 3D print plates directly from your LiDAR stage scan.

Snap-Together Dovetail Floor Seams

Stages wider than 250mm automatically split into modular tiles connected by precision dovetail puzzle joints. Fits standard 256×256mm Bambu Lab and Prusa beds.

3mm Snap-Fit Locator Pin Sockets

Every proscenium column, traveler track, and scenic flat prints with integrated 2.8mm base pins that snap upright into the 3mm deck sockets without messy Cyanoacrylate glue.

Architectural Accuracy: 1/4" = 1'-0"

Every measurement matches standard USITT theatrical drafting. Scenic designers can test real actor blocking and wagon clearances inside the physical proscenium model box.
