Want to capture images in more than 2 dimensions? With the rooomScan 3D Scan app, your smartphone or tablet becomes a full-fledged 3D scanner that lets you take photos and convert them into 3D models. Experience how you can create an impressive 3D model within minutes, which you can freely view from all sides. All you need is this free app. Turn your mobile device into a 3D tool for: - Very easy creation of 3D models from photos - Guided scanning of objects for 3D model creation - Creation of augmented reality content - Viewing 3D models - Create 3D models for embedding on websites - Create 3D content to share via social media or email How does the 3D Scan app work? By moving your smartphone or tablet around your object, you allow the scan app to cap-ture it from every possible perspective. Don't worry, the app will guide you through the process step by step. Once you're satisfied with the resulting photos, you give them an object name, such as "green chair," and click to upload them to the rooom system. After just a few minutes, a finished 3D model of your object has been created from your photos and is waiting for you in the app. Now you can freely rotate the 3D model, zoom in and out, and take it digitally with you wherever you go. What do you have to watch out for when scanning? Objects with transparent or reflective surfaces are not suitable for scanning. Also, objects smaller than 3 cm cannot be scanned properly by your mobile device as a 3D scanner. The maximum scanning distance should not exceed 5 meters.
Reforge 3D

Reforge turns real-world objects into 3D models. Capture an object with your iPhone, your Mac reconstructs it, and a USDZ model lands back on your phone — ready for AR Quick Look. HOW IT WORKS 1. Walk around an object with your iPhone, tapping to capture photos from every angle (50+ for clean results). 2. Photos transfer to your Mac over your local Wi-Fi, or via a temporary cloud relay when the two devices aren't on the same network. 3. Your Mac runs the reconstruction locally and hands the model back to your iPhone. WHAT YOU GET • USDZ output, natively supported by iOS, macOS, and AR Quick Look • Optional OBJ export other 3D pipelines • Local-first by default — disable cloud sync to keep every photo on your devices • No account, no login, no subscription, no advertising, no tracking REQUIREMENTS • iPhone on iOS 18+ with a rear camera • Mac on macOS 15+ for the companion processor • LiDAR-equipped iPhones (Pro models) give noticeably cleaner results
