3DScan turns your iPhone or iPad into a powerful 3D scanner โ€“ for rooms, objects, and everything in between. Whether you're planning furniture, need a model for 3D printing, or want to digitize your home: 3DScan offers several capture methods, real post-processing, and export to all common 3D formats. SCAN METHODS FOR EVERY DEVICE โ€ข LiDAR scan (room & object) โ€“ highest precision on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models with a LiDAR sensor โ€ข Photo scan (photogrammetry) โ€“ creates 3D models from multiple photos, even without LiDAR โ€ข SloMo video scan โ€“ simply circle the object with the slow-motion camera, no LiDAR needed โ€ข Room detection โ€“ automatically detects walls, windows, and doors and displays them in color For devices without LiDAR, the built-in QR marker calibration makes sure your models are still scaled to their real size. POST-PROCESSING RIGHT IN THE APP โ€ข Find holes in the model, review them in a list sorted by size, and close them selectively โ€“ an arrow shows you the exact position in the 3D model โ€ข Red pen to remove unwanted areas โ€ข Selectively hide colors from the scan (e.g. background or tabletop) โ€ข Axis system, wireframe view, statistics, and adjustable lighting in the integrated 3D viewer EXPORT IN ALL COMMON FORMATS Free: STL, OBJ, and USDZ โ€“ ready for 3D printing, AR preview, or further processing in CAD programs. Optional one-time purchase: STEP and PLY for professional CAD workflows. FOR SMART HOME USERS Scan a room and then mark the position of your devices directly in the 3D model โ€“ ideal for a true 3D floor plan in your Home Assistant dashboard. MULTILINGUAL & CROSS-PLATFORM 3DScan is available in German, English, Spanish, French, and Arabic and runs on iPhone/iPad as well as on the Mac (photogrammetry). 3DScan is free to use. Individual extra features (e.g. STEP/PLY export or more than 3 ignored colors per object) are available as a one-time purchase per object โ€“ no subscription, no obligation.
