TARGETING

Accuracy under your control.

Add coded targets to your scenes for automatic accuracy improvement via precise loop closure.

Apply known constraints for additional accuracy improvement and geo-referencing. Add target-to-target measurements, survey control points, wall-to-wall measurements, and more.

OPTIMIZATION

Post-processing you can count on.

Scan with confidence knowing Dot3D’s battle-tested optimization algorithms will automatically adjust nearly every aspect of your scene to create a precisely-coordinated, cumulative best-fit to reality.

Get to the final results fast with rapid local processing on device. Or transfer to a Windows machine for convenient desktop data editing and optimization.

3D scanning for your industry

with the features you need

  • “Dot3D is the most user friendly of the 3D LiDAR apps that can still provide pro results. Set up to do quick captures and prevent errors.”

    App Store Review, October 2024, USA

  • “Couldn’t be more happy with the product. Always looking forward to future updates. Every feature is incredibly handy.”

    Tom Morris, 2023, USA, Crash Scene Forensics

  • “The Dot3D app is a tool that perfectly compliments my work, especially for narrow areas, pump stations, and industrial equipment.”

    César Herrera Rivera, Divertec, 2022, Chile

  • “This application is the fastest and most adaptable mobile device scanning app we’ve seen.”

    William Henningsen, 2023, USA, Public Safety

  • “Thank you for this awesome product capable of turning a simple smartphone into a surveystation.”

    Construction User, 2023, Switzerland

  • “I’ve tried every LiDAR app and this one is hands-down the best. Made by professionals for professionals.”

    App Store Review, October 2022, USA

  • Get started today with just an iPhone Pro (12 & up) or iPad Pro (2020 & up) with built-in LiDAR. If you prefer to start with a Windows or Android device, you’ll need an Intel RealSense or DPI external camera. The software trial is free on all platforms.

  • Pro is our most popular option for most iPhone/iPad users relying solely on their embedded LiDAR camera (iOS). Prime is a premium solution for leveraging external 3D cameras on Windows/Android or external GNSS receivers (i.e. Trimble DA2) on iOS.

  • YES! The use of coded targets (AprilTags) is one of the most important capabilities of Dot3D. Please click here to download Dot3D AprilTags for printing, and see here for several tutorials on their use. You also have the option to order a rugged set here.

  • Don’t worry! No automatic charges will occur. Once your trial ends, you’ll automatically revert back to FREE mode, still allowing scanning and testing, but with some limited functionality and NO EXPORTS. You may then upgrade to PRO or PRIME anytime.
