1 · Sign in

Open the studio from the landing page and sign in. Lens uses a passwordless link, no account setup, no credit card. You land on your home dashboard, which starts empty.

2 · Create a project

  1. 1Click Create new in the top-right of the dashboard.
  2. 2Describe your product in a sentence, e.g. “a foldable bike helmet that meets EN1078”. Specifics help, but you can stay loose.
  3. 3Add any hard constraints you already know (a price ceiling, a standard, a material). You can also leave these for the Q&A to draw out.
  4. 4Press start. Lens opens the studio on the first step.
The Lens home dashboard with a grid of recent projects and the Create new button
The home dashboard, “Create new” (top right) starts a project.

3 · What happens next

Lens reads your brief and opens Context, a short, structured read of what you're making and why. From there it moves into Q&A, asking one adaptive question at a time to sharpen the brief before any 3D is built.
