Turn the world around you into stunning 3D point clouds with just your iPhone or iPad. PointFoundry uses your device's built-in LiDAR scanner to capture real spaces as dense, colourful point clouds — millions of individual 3D points, each with real colour sampled from your camera. Walk through a room, scan a building facade, capture a sculpture. What you get back is a faithful digital replica made of pure geometry. SCAN Hit record and start moving. PointFoundry captures thousands of points per second while you walk, building your point cloud in real time. A live 3D preview shows exactly what you're capturing, with depth-aware occlusion so walls correctly hide what's behind them. Smart filters work silently in the background — rejecting noise, filtering grazing surfaces, and only keeping points that have been confirmed across multiple frames. The result is clean, accurate data straight out of the scanner. EXPLORE Open any scan in the interactive 3D viewer. Orbit, zoom, and pan through your point cloud with fluid touch controls. Switch between real colour, height gradient, depth mapping, and flat white rendering modes. Use section cut planes to slice through your scan on any axis — peel back walls, reveal cross-sections, isolate floors. EXPORT Share your scans as industry-standard PLY or XYZ files. Use them for engineering, architecture, surveying, VFX reference, digital preservation, or just because 3D scanning is genuinely fun. DIAL IT IN Fine-tune your scanning with adjustable depth range, point density, and cleaning strength. Capture tight detail at 1cm spacing or cover large areas faster at 5cm. Set your max depth from 0.5m to 5m. PointFoundry adapts to the job. Features at a glance: • Real-time LiDAR point cloud capture with live 3D preview • Depth-aware occlusion — walls hide rooms behind them • Confidence, surface normal, and temporal consistency filtering • Voxel-based deduplication for even point distribution • GPU-accelerated post-processing (smoothing & noise removal) • Interactive 3D viewer with orbit camera and touch gestures • Two colour modes: Real Colour, Height • Section cut planes on X, Y, and Z axes • Export to PLY and XYZ formats • Adjustable depth range, density, and cleaning strength • Scan management with thumbnails and file sizes • No account required. No cloud upload. Everything stays on your device. Requires iPhone or iPad with LiDAR scanner. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
