Three-dimensional (3D) scanning has become an increasingly popular technology in recent years. It has found many practical applications, from product design to architecture and engineering. The good news is that you can now turn your iPhone into a 3D scanner using various apps available on the App Store. Here are the top three 3D scanning apps for iPhone.

1. Qlone

Qlone is a 3D scanning app that uses AR technology. The app allows you to create digital copies of real-world objects with high accuracy using an iPhone or iPad. The process is straightforward; you need to place the object on a flat surface and align the camera with the mark on the surface. Once you capture the object, the app instantly creates a 3D model that you can edit and refine using various tools. Qlone also allows you to export your models in various formats, including STL, OBJ, and USDZ.

2. Canvas

Canvas is another 3D scanning app that leverages the iPhone’s camera and the LiDAR technology. The app is designed for home renovation and real estate professionals who want to create accurate floor plans and measurements quickly. With Canvas, you can scan a room within minutes and get accurate measurements of the walls, windows, and furniture. The app generates a 3D model of the room that you can use to plan your renovation or design project. Canvas also allows you to export your models in various formats, including OBJ, FBX, and DXF.

3. Scandy Pro

Scandy Pro is a 3D scanning app that allows you to create high-resolution 3D models of people and objects. The app uses the iPhone’s TrueDepth camera to capture detailed and accurate scans. You can also use the app to edit and refine your scans using various editing tools. Scandy Pro allows you to export your models in various formats, including OBJ, PLY, and STL. The app is ideal for artists, designers, and animators who want to create 3D models quickly and easily.
