Compare the Top 3D Scanning Apps for iPad as of November 2025

What are 3D Scanning Apps for iPad?

3D scanning software are apps that allow users to capture, process, and analyze three-dimensional data from real-world objects or environments. These platforms enable the conversion of physical objects into accurate 3D digital models, often using technologies such as laser scanning, photogrammetry, or structured light scanning. With 3D scanning software, users can manipulate and edit these models for purposes like design, prototyping, or reverse engineering. The software typically includes features for mesh generation, texture mapping, and data visualization, ensuring that the digital replica accurately represents the physical object. Industries like manufacturing, engineering, and entertainment use 3D scanning software to streamline production processes, enhance precision, and improve product development. Compare and read user reviews of the best 3D Scanning apps for iPad currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    Sony 3D Creator
    The 3D Creator is an app that allows you to scan objects in 3D. The latest version offers five different scan modes, selfie scan, face scan, head scan, food scan and freeform scan. The 3D Creator is preinstalled in the Xperia 1, Xperia XZ1, Xperia XZ1 Compact, Xperia XZ2, Xperia XZ2 Compact, Xperia XZ2 Premium, and Xperia XZ3. The Xperia XZ Premium receives the 3D Creator as part of the Android 8.0 (Oreo) update. The first part of the scanning process is the calibration. The camera takes images as you circulate slowly around the object and an algorithm looks for characteristics that stand out in the images. Based on the camera orientation and captured images a point cloud is created. The point cloud is quite rough and has no color. Based on the point cloud information a mesh is created. The mesh is, simply put, a group of 3D points called vertices. Using the points from the point cloud the algorithm sculpts the mesh allowing it to shape itself after the scanned object.

    Skydio 3D Scan
    Skydio 3D Scan™ is first-of-its-kind adaptive scanning software to automate the data capture process needed to generate maps and models with comprehensive coverage and ultra-high resolution. 3D Scan builds a model of the scene, allowing the drone to automate the data capture process needed to generate 3D models with comprehensive coverage and ultra-high resolution. That means crews can perform higher quality inspections in less time and with minimal pilot training. The precise, visually geotagged imagery generated by 3D Scan can be exported to any mainstream photogrammetry software (including, but not limited to, DroneDeploy, Pix4D, Bentley ContextCapture, and Reality Capture), and will generate higher-quality, higher-resolution models without the mountains of extra data required by traditional capture methods.
