Galaxy note 9 3d scanner

3D Scanning on your Note10+

Have you ever wished one of your inanimate objects, like a stuffed animal, could come to life? With the 3D Scanner app on your Note10+, it's almost possible! This app lets you scan an object and create a 3D model of it. You can even interact with the model once the scan is complete.

Note: The 3D Scanner app is not available on the regular Note10.

Ready to make that physical object into a cool, digital one? It's easy with 3D Scanner and your phone.

The 3D Scanner app doesn’t come pre-installed, so you'll need to be download it first. On your Note10+, navigate to and open the Galaxy Store app. Search for and select 3D Scanner. Tap Install, and once it downloads, open the app.

Allow the different permissions, and then read the tutorial to learn how to scan something. Line up the subject with the circle and wait for it to turn green. When you’re ready, tap the Record icon. Circle around the subject, making sure it stays within the selected area. And make sure not to go too fast.

When you’ve completely circled around the subject, tap the Record icon again to end it. Now you can view your 3D model; use your finger to rotate it and get a good look at it. Then, tap Save if you are satisfied. A gif of your 3D model will be saved in Gallery!

From there, you can use the other options to have fun with your model. For example, tap the Camera icon to take a picture with your model!

Best free 3D scanning apps for smartphones in 2022 (iOS/Android)

What is a 3D scanner app?

A 3D scanner app or 3D scanning app can turn almost any smartphone into a pocket-sized 3D scanner. Most of these apps are based on photogrammetry, a 3D scanning technology that creates 3D models out of 2D photos. You take pictures of an object from different angles and then the app’s algorithms “stitch” the images together.

With a 3D scanning app, you can 3D scan objects and rooms, and even people (3D body scanning). You can use a 3D scanner app to create 3D objects for augmented reality. It’s also possible to create 3D models for 3D printing.

Here is a scan we did with a 3D scanning application (KIRI Engine):

Of course, 3D scanner apps for smartphones are less accurate than actual 3D scanners. However, they are a great, affordable way to learn more about 3D scanning without investing in complex hardware.

In this article, we provide a comprehensive list of the best 3D scanner apps for iPhone and Android smartphones.

How do 3D scanning apps work?

Photogrammetry 3D scanning technology

By definition, photogrammetry is “the science of making measurements from photographs”. Put simply, you take photos of a 3D object, and then the software stitches the pictures together. With this technology, the final 3D scan features color and texture.

3D scanning using a smartphone (iOS or Android)

You need to take several pictures of the object from different angles (usually 360° around the object) with your phone. 3D scanning apps generally provide you with tips and guidance to help you properly take the pictures.

The app then processes these pictures and aligns them together to form a 3D model. The 3D model is then available for export or editing using additional 3D software. In some cases, users may also print their 3D models with a 3D printer.

3D scanner apps overview (iOS and Android)

In this section, we give some more context and information about each 3D scanning app from our selection.

KIRI Engine is a free 3D scanning app for Android and iOS smartphones. All the processing happens on KIRI’s servers, not your phone, so the only thing you need is a recent smartphone with a decent camera.

The free version of KIRI Engine has a 70-photo limit, which is enough for most simple scans. It’s excellent for makers, students, and anyone who wants to try 3D scanning or do the occasional scan (for small or simple objects).

Read our in-depth KIRI Engine review article for more information about this app.

To use Qlone, you need to print a special black and white paper mat. The mat looks like a QR code and is used by the app as a marker.

Qlone offers a useful guiding system. A grey dome surrounds the object you’re scanning and lets you know which angle you need to capture next. The app generates the results locally (without going through a cloud platform) and almost in real time.

Users can easily share 3D scans via social media apps such as Facebook and WhatsApp.

iPhone 3D scanning apps

The iPhone TrueDepth sensor has made it possible to develop a variety of selfie 3D scanning apps. Some interesting iPhone 3D scanning apps include:

Bellus3D: the app itself is free, but you need to pay in order to export your scans. For three days of unlimited 3D scan exports, the price is $7.99. For more accurate 3D scans, users may opt for the Bellus3D Face Camera add-on (see on Amazon).
Heges: like Bellus3D, the app is free to download. However, the in-app option to export 3D scans costs $2.99.
3D Scanner Pro: this iPhone 3D scanning app by Laan Labs targets professional use cases (real estate, architecture, etc.).

What is 3D photo or spatial photography?

Spatial photography is a hybrid between capturing a video and taking photographs. 3D photos combine the perspective of a panoramic photo and the 3D features of a video.

Differences between 3D photo and 3D scanning apps

3D photos are similar to 3D scans, at least in the way they are seen, but they are still both different:

3D photos can only be stored and accessed through a specific viewing app
Spatial photography photos can’t be 3D printed
3D scans can be edited
You can’t export 3D photos to external software such as Sketchfab

Discontinued 3D scanner apps

A number of 3D scan apps have come and gone. We list them here so you know what’s been going on!

3Dignite Scanner

This app was supposed to let you export 3D scans to the VR world (and to Minecraft). However, the company seems to be inactive since 2017.

EORA 3D

EORA 3D is an Australian Kickstarter project that launched in October 2015. Their website has disappeared and they are no longer providing support for their product.

Conclusion

In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of 3D scanning apps for smartphones. The market is still too small to create a ranking or leave out certain 3D scanning apps.

These apps and their accessories are able to create decent 3D models. However, they don’t offer the high quality that actual 3D scanners do. 3D scanning apps are a great solution for beginners, hobbyists and even professionals that don’t require much precision.

User Testimonials

David Wohanka

Engineer

After reviewing the various offerings on the market for reverse engineering and prototyping, we chose Spectrum. We really liked the ability to work with markers and changeable scan zones. We can use Spectrum to scan various objects, including those with complex geometry. Perhaps we can agree that the Spectrum is three scanners in one.

Lukasz Mlynar

Project Manager

We specialize in creating visualizations. The Spectrum was perfect for these purposes: the resolution, the accuracy, the ability to scan in color - all perfectly matched our needs. And the equipment made it possible to use it both in the office and on field work (we often cooperate with museums and it is much easier to scan on their territory than to transport exhibits to our office). We really liked that the scanner comes with everything you need to work in different modes - it saved our budget a lot.
