3D Scanner App review
A capable Apple-device scanner with floor plans, mesh tools, and wide export support.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
3D Scanner App captures full-color 3D models of spaces and objects using LiDAR, TrueDepth, camera photos, or Apple's Object Capture photogrammetry API. It is suited to individuals and professionals working in interiors, real estate, architecture, product visualization, 3D printing, and related workflows. The app runs on iPhone and iPad, while a Mac companion supports transferring and processing captures from mobile devices. Its focus is practical scanning across both room-scale spaces and smaller objects rather than a single specialized use case.
The free Basic version provides an accessible starting point, while weekly and yearly premium plans add premium app features. The listed starting price is 2.99, and App Store pricing may vary by region. The product also describes Professional and Enterprise offerings that require contacting sales. This structure makes it possible to begin without a paid plan, then move to premium features when workflows require more capability. Buyers comparing recurring plans should distinguish the free Basic version from the weekly and yearly premium options.
Its strongest fit is the Apple ecosystem: users can combine LiDAR, TrueDepth, and photo-based capture with on-device cropping, smoothing, refinement, virtual rulers, bounding boxes, AR viewing, and web sharing. RoomPlan mode adds floor-plan creation, while exports include USDZ, GLB, GLTF, OBJ, DAE, STL, PTS, PCD, PLY, XYZ, LAS, and DXF. Integrations with Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Maya, ArcGIS, Pix4D, RealityCapture, and Sweet Home 3D extend the workflow. Choose it for Apple-device scanning and floor plans; choose an alternative if Android or non-Apple capture is required.
