Depth3D Object Scanner vs Schama

Depth3D turns your iPhone's TrueDepth sensor into a handheld 3D scanner for small objects, producing print-ready models in STL, OBJ, and 3MF formats. No turntable required Just place an object on your desk and move your iPhone slowly around it. Depth3D captures it from many angles and reconstructs the shape automatically. Ready to 3D print The app detects the desk plane and closes the bottom into a flat, watertight (manifold) mesh, so the result loads straight into your slicer as a printable model. Major 3D formats Export to STL, OBJ, or 3MF and bring your scan directly into your favorite slicer or CAD software. Designed to use without looking Because it uses the front camera, you can't see the screen while scanning. Haptics, sound, and full-screen color feedback let you follow scanning progress without watching the display. Great for - Custom cases for AirPods cases and small items - Duplicating and archiving figures and parts - Creating practice models for 3D printing Requires an iPhone with a TrueDepth sensor. All processing happens on device; your scan data is never sent anywhere.
