CédricLab Scan 3D vs Schama

Turn a real object into a 3D model, straight from your iPhone. Scan 3D photographs your object from every angle and computes an accurate mesh using Object Capture, Apple's photogrammetry technology. Everything runs on the device: no internet connection, no account, no data sent anywhere. GUIDED CAPTURE Place the object, then circle it slowly following the orbits shown on screen. The app shows in real time what is already covered and what is still missing. A MESH READY TO PRINT A raw scan is never printable as is. The app repairs it for you: • vertex welding and removal of stray fragments; • hole filling, with a watertight mode that slicers expect; • surface smoothing that removes noise without eroding detail; • adjustable simplification when the file gets too heavy. TRUE TO SCALE Models are measured at full size, 1:1. Dimensions are shown in centimetres, and you can force a target size before exporting. EXPORT • STL — for 3D printing, exported in millimetres, the convention slicers expect (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio…) • USDZ — the only format that keeps the colour texture • OBJ and PLY — for your modelling software Sharing through the system share sheet and the Files app. GALLERY Your scans stay on the iPhone: interactive 3D preview, rename, duplicate, delete. HARDWARE REQUIRED Object Capture relies on the LiDAR Scanner. The app requires an iPhone 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max or any later "Pro" model, running iOS 17 or later. On an iPhone without LiDAR, scanning cannot start. FOR GOOD RESULTS An object at least 3–5 cm across, a matte and textured surface, diffuse and even lighting. Glass, mirrors, chrome and very glossy plain surfaces do not reconstruct. Free, no ads, no in-app purchases, no data collection. The app interface is in French.

Schama organizes your 3D file collection, 3D printing, modeling, scans, right on your iPhone and iPad, without ever duplicating your files unless you ask it to. WHY SCHAMA Whether you print in 3D, model, or archive scans, your .stl, .3mf, .usdz, .obj and other files end up scattered across Files, iCloud Drive, and download folders. Schama brings them together in a single, searchable, organized catalog, without ever locking your files into a closed silo. They stay right where they are; Schama simply references them. KEY FEATURES Flexible import • Import one or several files, or an entire folder scanned automatically with all its subfolders • Choose the destination library at import time, or create a new one on the spot • Recognized formats: USDZ, STL, OBJ, PLY, FBX, DAE (Collada), ABC (Alembic), 3MF Interactive 3D preview • Touch rotation and zoom for STL, USDZ and 3MF files • Full-screen mode with wireframe display, handy for checking geometry before printing • Thumbnails generated automatically on import • 3D preview of 3MF and STL files right in the Files app, with dimensions, volume and estimated weight Organize your way • Custom libraries with your choice of icon • Colored tags, assignable by drag-and-drop or created on the fly • Instant search by name, notes, or tags • Automatic detection of files whose original has been moved or deleted Print tracking • Print history per file: printer, filament, quality rating, date • Overall rating and favorite status to find your best models again Smart summary, entirely on-device • A description of each model is generated by Apple's on-device intelligence from its preview, no data is ever sent to a server iCloud sync • Your catalog, libraries, tags, and print history sync automatically across your devices through your personal iCloud account • Optionally duplicate a file to an iCloud Drive folder of your choice, making it available on your other devices without touching the original Share and back up • Send an object's source file via AirDrop, Mail, or any other method right from its detail page • Full catalog export (JSON) or CSV export • Automatic daily backup of your catalog to the folder of your choice; restoring adds what's missing without deleting anything • Siri and Shortcuts: search, open or convert an item, log a print, create a library, or import a folder by voice A BUILT-IN HANDBOOK A complete guide, chapter by chapter, to read in the app at any time, even offline. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD An interface tailored to each device, grid view and column navigation on iPad, tab navigation on iPhone, for a smooth experience on any screen. Schama requires no account, tracks no activity, and collects no personal data beyond what's strictly necessary to sync through your own iCloud account.
