3dScannerApp – A Powerful 3D Scanning Tool for iPhone

3dScannerApp is a free utility tool that allows users to 3D scan objects and places using their iPhone. The app requires a LIDAR camera sensor device, such as the iPad Pro or iPhone 12 Pro, to function. With this app, users can easily capture 3D scans in color and share them via iMessage & AR Quicklook using the USDZ format. Moreover, the app comes with an array of export options, including OBJ, GLTF, GLB, DAE, and STL formats, allowing users to import their scans into 3D modeling programs like Blender, 3dsmax, Sketchup, Maya, and many others.

One of the best features of 3dScannerApp is its ability to export geo-referenced LAS point clouds into programs like ArcGIS, making it a useful tool for geospatial professionals. Additionally, users can export scan raw data, including photos, into other photogrammetry apps like Pix4D or Reality Capture. Users can also edit and crop their models on the device and export them as a raw point cloud in formats like PTS, PCD, PLY, XYZ, LAS, and as floorplan images in DXF.
