OrthoScan

OrthoScan opens new doors for 3D scanning at quality and scale accuracy allowing for use in orthopedics and prosthetics field. Take one minute recording and wait for computations to see the model you've just created. Decide on which scan you want to use and download it from https://orthoscan.app bringing it to your digital workflow or download the model directly in the app (valid untill the end of 2022). OrthoScan app uses front camera, because required sensors are there.For best results, please note: • no direct sun/window/spotlight/bulb in the background durning the scan • as little shaddow as possible • matt, well lit environment • no glossy / transparent surfaces • 20-50 cm distance - the more the object fills the screen, the better (with no shadow) - it doesn't have to be fully on the screen all the time though. • Neural network (AI) has to decide what is the object you scan. If the surrounding has more variable details than the object itself, AI can make a mistake, and generate 3D model of the surrounding (i.e. your room). In this case, please move to a place with less details around you (white, solid walls) and increase details on the surface of the scanned object (colorful bandage for the limb or draw random dots)

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: OrthoScan at every 2 months against Fabtech CAD's every 9 months. Fabtech CAD's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
