Welcome to 3D ModelME. This is an exciting time in the 3D modeling world. With the recent introduction of the 3D capabilities in the iPhone line, it is time to start using this technology to capture real life 3D images. 3D ModelME is designed to do just that. With the 3D ModelME app, you can transform the portraits you take with your iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone 11, and iPhone 12 into real 3D models for immediate printing with today’s 3D printers. 3D ModelME uses the depth data that is stored with certain types of images on iPhones to transform those images into 3D models. The image is converted to an STL type file, which is supported by all major brands of 3D printing software. The basic version of 3D ModelME will allow you to select a photo from your photo library or take a live portrait and see what the 3D model of that photo looks like. You can interact with the resulting 3D model to view it from any angle. There are settings that can be manipulated to change how the model is created. Once you are happy with the 3D model, you can upgrade to the 3D ModelMEPro version to export your image (via email) for use outside the app. Not all photos that are taken with the iPhone have depth data available. See the included help information for the supported cameras, and tips for capturing depth data with your images.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hyper at 4.6 against 3D ModelME's 2.3. Hyper also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 10). 3D ModelME's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 3D ModelME sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hyper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hyper holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hyper has 11K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 40% and 39% positive.
3D ModelME ships an update every 5 months, Hyper every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
