Scandy Pro: 3D Scanner, 3D App 4+

I am looking to scan small-ish 5 cm objects. Even though this app seems made for larger objects sometimes I can get a good mesh. This size seems to be at the limit of what the front facing camera can detect so it often loses track of my object and starts doing the red flash. And I am getting weird results when I spin the object instead of move the phone. I’m probably not using the app for its typical purpose here. It is great at face scans! Thanks to the tutorial video on scanning a toy bear on a turntable I know it’s possible & will keep an eye on this app.

Thank you for the feedback. When using a turntable, you will need to make sure that the camera does not see any stationary items in the frame, since that can throw off tracking. For instance, if your screen shows the scan subject, the turntable, and the surface that the turntable is resting on, the scan will likely not work since the camera will try and track on both the moving objects (turntable and scan subject) and the stationary object (the surface) at the same time.

This is the first time I’ve ever used a 3D scanner. What a cool experience!

I read a few of the more helpful reviews as well as the app description before downloading. I garnered a good idea of the limitations of the tech and my expectations were well met.

On a tangential note (because I gotta say something about this), I’m saddened to see that this app has another slew of ideologically motivated 1-star reviews.

The process of creating a product is deeply personal; putting oneself out into the world is, I believe, amongst the most courageous of human endeavors.

To those who have (or are about to) leave a 1-star review with accusations of price gouging and the like, please take a moment and dig for some empathy. There are human beings on the receiving end of your words. They were apparently captured by the idea of bringing something new into the world. They then spent a bunch of time (seriously! A buuunch... likely hundreds to thousands of hours pecking away at a keyboard). And they care deeply enough about the work to have continued working on it long after its initial release. How they present it to the world is informed by their own preferences, which likely are quite different from yours or mine. That certainly doesn't make them villains.

To the devs: thanks for giving me an awe inspiring moment this evening. Keep digging into yourselves. You're making great things.

Best,

No seriously, scan everything! It's super convenient being able to pull your phone out and take measurements of your stuff whenever you need. Took a scan of my house plants because duh. Weeks later I was able to get the perfect container while I was at Target since I could just pull out my phone and measure their planters! There's always room for improvement in any app but I love scanning all the things, it's awesome.

Hey, that is awesome! Thanks for using Scandy Pro! We love seeing the creative solutions our users come up with.
