Scanning and exporting data utilizing Sakura3D SCAN can come in handy for various fields. For example, plants can acquire the current status of pipes and other factory equipment, while construction and civil engineering firms can utilize Sakura3D SCAN in topographical surveys and construction progress management. Import your scanned data into our point cloud modeling software "ClassNK-PEERLESS" and create 3D models that can be imported into various CAD systems. ■ Export format Point cloud: ASC, TXT, PTS Mesh: OBJ, STL ■ Sakura3D SCAN requires the LiDAR sensor for scanning, as a result we only support the following devices iPhone 16 Pro Max iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Max iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 13 Pro iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 12 Pro iPad Pro 13 inch (M4) iPad Pro 11 inch (M4) iPad Pro 12.9 inch (6th generation) iPad Pro 11 inch (4th generation) iPad Pro 12.9 inch (5th generation) iPad Pro 11 inch (3rd generation) iPad Pro 12.9 inch (4th generation) iPad Pro 11 inch (2nd generation) ■ Difference between a free plan and subscriptions All features are available for free, except for file output and certain premium features (e.g., Center of Gravity Visualization). By subscribing, you can enjoy unlimited file exports and gain full access to all premium features. File export is also free under following conditions. ・Point cloud: less than 500K points ・Mesh: less than 50K vertices ・Unlimited export: Once every 24h With a subscription, there is no limit to the number of scans you can export. ■ FAQ ・ How can I increase the quality of my scans? When measuring please try to move slowly and avoid shaking the device. Please try to avoid measuring the same location twice. The trick is not to scan the same point over and over again. The following are some of the factors that can hinder a good scan: - When the object is a transparent object made of glass, a shiny metal object, a mirror, etc. - When the distance to the object to be scanned is too short (within 10 to 20 cm) ・I don't know which scan accuracy to use. Scan accuracy depends on the scan target, scan environment, and setting method. For a personalized inquiry please send an email to sakura3d@armonicos.co.jp with your target, environment and setting method. ・What distance allows for an accurate measurement? The recommended distance is within 5m. ・How many points can be obtained in each scan? You can get up to 25 million points. ・Is it possible to check the number of points during a scan? The number of acquired points is displayed on the screen, during a scan, with the following color encoding as a guideline for memory usage: "green (low)-> yellow (medium)-> red (high)" . ・I don't know how to export data. There are two methods, one is via the Internet using Dropbox, AirDrop, email, various SNS, or Google Drive, and the other is to connect the device (iPhone, iPad) directly to the PC with a cable and copy the data using iTunes. ・Can the output data be imported into other software? Data created with Sakura3D SCAN can be imported into any software that supports point cloud formats (ASC, TXT,PTS) or mesh formats (STL, OBJ). It can also be imported into our software packages: spGate, spGauge, spScan, and ClassNK-PEERLESS. Sakura3D SCAN Terms of Service (ToS) https://www.armonicos.co.jp/shop/sakura-tos/

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a powerful 3D scanner. Point at an object, follow the AR guidance, and get a textured 3D model — built entirely on your device. No account. No cloud processing. No subscription. SCAN OBJECTS Perfect for artworks, hand-crafted items, toys, anime figures, and more: 1. Point at the object — the app gauges its size and places a bounding box you can adjust 2. Slowly circle the object — photos are taken automatically; just light up the ring of white dots 3. Follow the guided passes with short tutorial videos: flip the object, or scan from a lower angle and the top 4. Generate the model on your device and preview it in AR 5. Share it in a few taps SCAN ROOMS — TWO WAYS • Floor plan: walk through your space and watch walls, doors, windows, and furniture get outlined live. Scan several rooms and merge them into one structure. You get an interactive 3D model plus a measured 2D floor plan: floor area, wall lengths and height, door and window counts — tap any piece of furniture for its dimensions. • Photo-textured room mesh (LiDAR): capture a true 3D mesh of your room with photos baked in as seam-free textures. The app shoots high-resolution (up to 4K HDR) photos hands-free while a color tint shows what you have covered. Then drive a hovering robot through your scan in third person, with real collision against your scanned walls and furniture. Exploring is free; exporting and sharing room meshes requires Pro. EXPORT & SHARE • .usdz — mobile friendly, opens straight into AR Quick Look • .obj with textures — for professional 3D software (Pro) • .stl — for 3D printing (Pro); room meshes export with hole filling, smoothing, and a detail slider • Share via Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or save to Files • Create a public iCloud Drive download link anyone can open — no app needed (iOS 26 or later) • Publish to Sketchfab and share your model as a link or QR code CAD-STYLE FLOOR PLAN EXPORTS • PNG image or a CAD-styled multi-page PDF report with dimension lines, a scale bar, and wall/object schedules (2 free exports included) • Layered DXF that opens in your CAD software (Pro) • Plan your furniture: draw annotation boxes with exact real-world sizes on the floor plan — they turn red if they would collide with walls or existing furniture (Pro) MEASURE See the real-world width, height, and depth of your scans, and measure point-to-point on 3D models and 2D floor plans, in your local units (2 free measuring sessions included). AND MORE • Import 10 or more of your own photos from Photos or Files and reconstruct them into a 3D model on-device (Pro) • Try it instantly with a free downloadable example capture • Transfer captures to the companion Mac app for maximum-detail models • Localized in 16 languages • Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription, works on all your devices REQUIREMENTS Scanning requires a LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. Captured data stays on your device unless you choose to share it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sakura3D SCAN at 5.0 against 3D Object Capture|Room Scanner's 4.3. Sakura3D SCAN also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). 3D Object Capture|Room Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 1) and review sentiment (59% vs 40%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sakura3D SCAN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and 3D Object Capture|Room Scanner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sakura3D SCAN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Object Capture|Room Scanner has 60 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Sakura3D SCAN's written reviews are positive against 59% of 3D Object Capture|Room Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sakura3D SCAN ships an update every 2 weeks, 3D Object Capture|Room Scanner every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
