ELEGOO Matrix App is an all-in-one smart app designed for ELEGOO 3D printers. It supports both Resin and FDM printers, helping you connect and manage printers, discover models, control print jobs remotely, monitor print progress, view print history, and respond to printing issues with ease. With the app, you can easily connect and manage your printers, browse a wide range of free models in the Nexprint model library, discover creative content and practical print ideas, and start print jobs quickly. During printing, the app lets you check real-time progress, remaining time, and printer status. If a printer issue occurs or a print job is interrupted, the app will notify you promptly so you can identify and resolve issues faster. Key Features: 1. Connect and control ELEGOO Resin and FDM 3D printers 2. Start, pause, and stop print jobs remotely 3. Monitor real-time print progress, remaining time, and printer status 4. Receive timely alerts for printer issues and print errors to help you quickly identify what went wrong 5. Explore the Nexprint model library to discover, save, and print your favorite 3D models 6. Automatically record print history for easy review, reuse, and troubleshooting Supported Printers: Centauri 2, Centauri Carbon 2, Jupiter 2, Saturn 4 Ultra 16K, Saturn 4 Ultra, Mars 5 Ultra.
Fuse 3d
This application transforms your iPhone into a powerful 3D scanner. It offers multiple scanning modes, including LiDAR, photogrammetry, and TrueDepth, to capture objects and faces with high precision. Scans can be exported in various formats for use in design, printing, or virtual reality.
- Multiple scanning modes (LiDAR, Photogrammetry, TrueDepth)
- Real-time mesh reconstruction
- High-precision face and object scanning
- Export in PLY, OBJ, STL, USDZ formats
- On-device processing using ARKit

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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fuse 3d at 5.0 against ELEGOO Matrix's 2.4. ELEGOO Matrix's advantage is ratings volume (147 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fuse 3d holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ELEGOO Matrix has 147 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ELEGOO Matrix ships an update fortnightly, Fuse 3d every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
