Make high-quality 3D scans, processing on-device if LIDAR is available or on our free Mac app! Share in augmented reality or export for 3D printing! Try out the app free and from there make a one-time payment for unlimited scans. If you get the subscription, you can also generate 3D objects with AI by using text to describe and create most any object you can imagine. And you can still export for augmented reality or 3D printing. For most LIDAR enabled devices, if able, process your scans on the device. No need for servers! And for earlier devices, easily export your images to a Mac and use the free Sapling Mac app. For terms of use for in-app purchases and subscriptions, see https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
