Hello I am new in Shapr3D and I would like to ask what is the best lidar scanning app I can use with Shaper3D? I need to scan a part of a room difficult for hand measuring to precisely create and fit a piece of furniture in it. For instance a cabinet under a curved bottom bathroom sink.
Hey there,
Welcome to Shapr3D! For LiDAR scanning on an iPad or iPhone, Polycam, Scaniverse, and 3D Scanner App are some of the best options. Polycam is great for capturing detailed room scans and exporting to formats like OBJ or STL, which work well in Shapr3D. Scaniverse is another solid choice, especially if you want good accuracy without too much post-processing.
Since you’re fitting a cabinet under a curved sink, you’ll want a scan that captures fine details accurately. After scanning, you can clean up the mesh in Shapr3D or another CAD tool before modeling your cabinet. A tip: take multiple scans from different angles to improve accuracy and avoid missing small details. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions!
I don’t believe RealityScan by Unreal uses LIDAR instead photogrammetry, but adding another app option for ios and android for anyone interested without an LIDAR.
