Lagarsoft LiDAR Scanner turns your LiDAR iPhone or iPad into a pocket measure-up tool for buildings. Scan a room, a floor, or an entire house and walk away with professional files: • DXF floorplan — R12 dialect that opens cleanly in AutoCAD, LibreCAD, and QCAD, with walls, doors, and windows on named layers and floor outlines as closed polylines. • USDZ 3D mesh — Apple's AR-ready format, textured and ready for AR Quick Look. • PDF report — a branded A4 quantities sheet with floor area, wall area, and one-coat paint litres per room and as totals. Built for AEC, MEP, real estate, and trade professionals who need fast, defensible measurements without a tripod, target, or laptop. Features • Multi-room scanning — capture rooms one at a time; StructureBuilder fuses them into a single aligned model. • Projects — every scan saves on-device as a named project. Rename, archive, and a 30-day auto-purge on the trash. • Photos and dictated notes per project, exportable together with the model as a single ZIP archive. • Floorplan-on-map view with the recorded scan location. • Tri-lingual interface: English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil). Privacy Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no telemetry SDK, no ads, no tracking. The optional location tag is stored inside the project and only leaves your device in exports you share yourself. Requirements LiDAR-capable device: iPhone Pro (12 Pro and later) or iPad Pro (2020 and later). iOS 17 or later. Free. No paid tier, no watermark, no in-app purchases.

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.
