Scan objects with your camera and rooms with LiDAR, free. Export USDZ, OBJ, GLB, PLY and STL with OpticALLY Pro. Everything stays on your device. OpticALLY turns your iPhone into a full 3D scanner. PHOTO SCANNING Guided Object Capture walks you around an object in up to three passes with live feedback, then builds a textured 3D model right on your iPhone. Captured photos are kept so you can rebuild them later. LIDAR SCANNING On LiDAR iPhones, scan rooms, furniture and large objects with a live mesh preview, camera colour and classification. Pause, resume and finish when you're ready. FACE SCANNING The TrueDepth camera captures a detailed 3D scan of your face and computes eyewear measurements: pupillary distance, bridge, temple, frame and lens width. LIBRARY AND VIEWER Every scan lands in your library with a thumbnail. Orbit, zoom, toggle wireframe, measure between two points and view it in your room with AR Quick Look.

Fuse is a free 3D scanning app for iPhone that uses the hardware you already own. Seven scanning modes, each suited to different subjects and hardware: • LiDAR Mesh — fast, real-time mesh reconstruction using your iPhone's LiDAR scanner • Point Cloud — dense point cloud capture for precise spatial data • Gaussian Splat — photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction • Photogrammetry — multi-photo 3D reconstruction, works on any iPhone • TrueDepth — high-precision face and close-range object scanning using the front face-id camera • CAD Scan — structured capture aimed at accurate dimensional models • Hybrid — combines rear LiDAR for overall shape with front TrueDepth for fine detail and RGB texture, for the most complete scan Export your scans as PLY, OBJ, STL, or USDZ for use in CAD software, 3D printing, AR/VR, or game engines. Fuse3D runs entirely on-device using Apple's ARKit, LiDAR, and TrueDepth sensors. Hardware Limitations: LiDAR-based modes require an iPhone/iPad Pro model with a LiDAR scanner. TrueDepth modes require Face ID hardware. Photogrammetry works on any supported device.
