DM Scanner 3D

DM Scanner 3D turns an iPhone into a 3D capture tool built for people who finish their work in Blender. SCAN A SCENE Sweep a room or venue with the LiDAR sensor and watch the mesh build live, coloured from the camera as you go. CAPTURE AN OBJECT Guided photogrammetry builds a fully textured model on the device. SCAN A FACE The TrueDepth camera captures a textured face mesh with the same topology every time, ready for rigging, plus the surrounding head fused from depth. MADE FOR BLENDER Every export is Z-up and in metres, so models arrive the right way round at real-world scale. Scene scans export as OBJ, PLY or USDZ; object captures as USDZ. Share by AirDrop or find your scans in the Files app. BUILT FOR ACCURACY β€’ Tap-to-measure checks a scan against a real tape measure β€’ A printable control marker gives separate scans a shared origin, so they merge without alignment β€’ Register a scan to a standard 400 m running track by tapping painted landmarks, and export the exact rulebook track alongside it VIEW AND ORGANISE Orbit any scan in full colour, as bare clay to judge the shape, or as wireframe. Search your library by name, type or date. Your scans stay on your device unless you choose to share them. No account, no ads, no tracking. Scene scanning requires an iPhone with a LiDAR scanner (Pro models). Face scanning requires a TrueDepth (Face ID) camera.
