ZAPPCHA: Mobile LiDAR Scanner10.1 - App Store

Using Zappcha to capture point clouds couldn’t be easier:

. One touch to start scanning your object
. Simply move your device slowly around whatever you are scanning, and tap again once done
. Once your point cloud is captured, you can choose to save it to your device or to the Zappcha Cloud

Note, for the highest fidelity point clouds, a LIDAR enabled iPhone/iPad should be used.
Non-Lidar scanning is new experimental functionality intended to allow non-lidar phones to capture

Zappcha is also capable of seamlessly displaying Point Clouds captured both on your device an elsewhere and of any size.

The Zappcha app and the Zappcha Cloud are FREE to use, but if you need more storage space you can pay to upgrade your Zappcha Cloud account instantly - or indeed downgrade if you have more space than you need.

Finally, the Zappcha Cloud integrates seamlessly with advanced point cloud editing and 3D design tools, including Veesus Arena4D, Rhino and SolidWorks. This enables professional users to integrate Zappcha into their existing 3D model workflows, augmenting them with cloud storage and the ability to create 3D scans quickly and conveniently from Apple devices.
