ScanDim transforms your iPhone into a professional 3D measurement tool. Using advanced AI-powered photogrammetry, capture precise dimensions of any object with just a few photos. Key Features: AI Photogrammetry: Take 12 photos around an object, and our AI analyzes the geometry to calculate accurate dimensions Interactive 3D Viewer: Visualize your scans as point clouds with smooth rotation and zoom controls Precise Measurements: Get length, width, height, volume, and surface area calculations Multiple Export Formats: Export your 3D data as PLY or OBJ files for use in other applications Measurement History: Save and organize all your scans for easy reference Dark Mode Design: Beautiful dark interface optimized for extended use Perfect for: Interior designers measuring furniture and spaces Online sellers documenting product dimensions DIY enthusiasts planning projects Architects and engineers doing quick field measurements Anyone who needs accurate object measurements How it works: Open the camera and start a photogrammetry session Walk around the object taking photos at 30-degree intervals Our AI processes your photos and generates a 3D point cloud View measurements, rotate the 3D model, and export your data No LiDAR required - ScanDim works on all iPhones using advanced AI vision technology.

About

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.

Highlights
  • 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.
