This app requires an iPhone with LiDAR sensors (iPhone 12 Pro or a newer Pro model). A captivating 3D scanner app to convert everyday items into actual 3D models. Preserve digital copies of your cherished objects, capturing their details in high-fidelity for future generations. Share 3D scans with family and friends, or relive captured objects in augmented reality to explore them from every angle again. Export 3D models in various file formats (like USDZ, STL, OBJ, PLY, ABC) to use them outside of the app, such as for 3D printing, or convert your 3D scan into a video. 3D Scan Pro leverages advanced LiDAR-powered photogrammetry technology, putting the power to transform real-world objects into precise 3D models right at your fingertips. Delight in the adventure of transporting your physical surroundings into the digital sphere. Features • Digital Preservation: Effortlessly capture cherished objects as 3D models. • Cutting-edge computer vision algorithms to create lifelike 3D models. • User-Friendly: Skip the master’s degree in 3D photogrammetry and start scanning with ease. • Privacy by Design: Everything is computed on-device. It’s magic. • Relive 3D-captured memories in augmented reality. • Sharing: Easily share your captured objects, so your friends and family can explore your models in 3D or AR. • No Internet Required: Operate entirely offline, with no need for an internet connection to scan, process, or store your models. • Accuracy: Advanced LiDAR-powered photogrammetry enable high definition scans for superior results. • Export 3D models as Videos, Image Sequences, USDZ, STL, OBJ, PLY, or ABC files. Privacy • The 3D scanner feature requires camera permissions to function, as it captures multiple images to compute and generate a 3D model. • Everything is performed on-device. All of your images and 3D models remain offline, on your iOS device, where they belong. Limitations • Some objects are challenging to scan. Avoid objects that are reflective, transparent, or contain very thin structures. ⁂ Support If you need help or want to make a feature suggestion, I’d love hearing from you → martin@appahead.studio Feedback If you like 3D Scan Pro, please take a moment to rate it on the App Store.
