Since Apple’s release of the iPad Pro and iPhone Pro with LiDAR sensors, along with their Object Capture photogrammetry engine in 2021, 3D scanning on iPhones and iPads has begun to become a serious option for many.
Here is a list of iOS/iPadOS 3D scanning apps that I have seen:
- 3D Scanner App Mesh and point cloud scanning
