3D Scanner: Sapling vs Smart 3D Scan Usage & Stats
Make high-quality 3D scans with or without LIDAR, processing either on-device or on the free Mac app! Share in augmented reality or export for 3D printing! Try out the app free and from there make a one-time payment for unlimited scans.
If you get the subscription, you can also generate 3D objects with AI by using text to describe and create most any object you can imagine. And you can still export for augmented reality or 3D printing.
For most LIDAR enabled devices, if able, process your scans on the device. No need for servers! And for earlier devices, easily export your images to a Mac and use the free Sapling Mac app.

With Smart 3D Scan, you can capture and create realistic 3D models of small & bigger objects using LiDAR scanner or TrueDepth camera, organize them into on-device collection as well as export your models to popular 3D formats (OBJ, USDZ, GLTF, STL, PLY) or upload them to the Sketchfab platform.
For scanning small objects better use TrueDepth camera, for scanning bigger objects and spaces choose LiDAR Scanner. Look at our Tips for better results.
