About

Puracam

Read full description

Puracam turns the LiDAR sensor in your iPhone or iPad into a 3D scanner and floor plan tool. Scan an object, a room or your whole home — the 3D reconstruction runs on your device. THREE WAYS TO SCAN • Space: walk a room and get a 3D model with photographic texture. Live coverage shows what is still missing. • Object: circle an object, flip it to capture the underside, and get a high-detail model with its real dimensions. • Floor Plan: walk the room and Puracam detects walls, doors, windows and furniture. One shutter button, like the Camera app. A short how-to video and tips for every mode get you started. FLOOR PLANS • A clean 2D drawing with dimensions, opening widths and room areas. • Edit everything: move walls and corners, add doors, windows, dividers and columns, lock lengths and right angles. • Furnish it with more than 100 pieces, wall-mounted ones at their real height. • Switch to 3D and keep editing: drag, rotate and resize furniture and move doors and windows right on the model. • Export a PDF to true scale with door and room schedules, or PNG, SVG, DXF for CAD, CSV and JSON. SHARE • Share a link: anyone can open the 3D model and floor plan in a web browser — no app needed. Comes with a QR code. • Let people who have Puracam save an editable copy from your link, to measure, edit and export. • Send a Puracam file by AirDrop, Messages, Mail or Files — no internet needed. • Links expire on their own and you can delete one at any time. Nothing is shared until you create a link. REVIEW AND EDIT • Orbit, pan and zoom the model and measure distances on it. • Clean up object models: crop box, lasso, remove the base, or Auto Clean. • Make a 360° video of any scan and save it to Photos. • Filter your library by kind and organise scans into folders. On iPad, a sidebar and full landscape support. FREE AND PRO • Free: scanning, viewing, measuring, every editing tool, OBJ export, share links that last 7 days, Puracam files, floor plans as PDF or PNG (with a small watermark), and 10 object scans with full quality and every export format. • Pro adds USDZ, GLB, glTF, FBX, DAE, STL, PLY and DXF, the highest export quality, saving model edits, floor plans as SVG, DXF, CSV and JSON, and floor plans and 360° videos without a watermark. For sharing: more links that last 30 days and can be renewed, link passwords, and your name, company and logo on shared pages. WHAT YOU NEED Scanning uses the LiDAR sensor: iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro models, and iPad Pro 2020 or later. Your library, exports and settings work on any supported device. Creating and opening share links needs an internet connection. PURACAM PRO Pro is an optional subscription: Monthly, or Yearly with a 7-day free trial. No account and no sign-up — Pro follows your Apple ID, and Restore brings it back on a new device. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
