Dot3D Prime

Professional 3D scanning without boundaries.

Dot3D Prime is our most comprehensive mobile scanning solution, designed for professionals who require maximum hardware flexibility and survey-grade accuracy. Whether you’re on iOS, Android, or Windows, Dot3D Prime has you covered with full support for:

✅ 3D scanning from Windows & Android devices¹
✅ External 3D depth cameras: Orbbec & RealSense²
Real-time RTK/GNSS (Trimble, Leica, Emlid, etc.)³
Transferable licensing (via “release key” function)

¹Windows/Android scanning requires an external 3D camera (Orbbec, RealSense).
²All currently supported external depth cameras require Windows or Android OS.
³Dot3D Prime’s real-time RTK/GNSS functionality requires iOS (iPhone Pro / Pro Max).

Why Dot3D Prime?

Unlock the full potential of the Dot3D ecosystem across all major operating systems (Android, Windows, iOS) with support for high-performance external sensors (on Windows/Android) and external GNSS hardware (on iOS).

1. Cross-Platform Freedom

Don't be locked into a single ecosystem. Dot3D Prime brings professional-grade mobile 3D scanning across Windows, Android, and iOS tablets and phones. Experience the same industry-leading real-time reconstruction and local processing on the mobile hardware your organization already utilizes.*

*Minimum specs required. External camera required (for Windows or Android).

2. Support for External Cameras

Unlock superior detail and range by connecting external 3D depth sensors. Dot3D Prime provides plug-and-play support for all of the following on Windows and Android:

3. Real-Time GNSS Integration

Dot3D Prime features advanced integration with high-accuracy external RTK / GNSS solutions. Automatically geo-reference your scan data and improve global accuracy in real-time as you walk freely across large outdoor spaces.

4. Transferable "Release Key" Licensing

We understand that equipment needs change. Dot3D Prime features a flexible licensing model. Use the exclusive "Release Key" option to easily deactivate your license on one device and move it to another. This ensures your investment stays mobile and adaptable across your entire organization.

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.

Designed and built for professionals in:

Crime and Crash Scene Mapping

  • Clear the scene in minutes with pocket-based 3D documentation.

  • Technology suitable to all sectors of law enforcement & public safety.

  • Reliably accurate 3D models and simplified 2D sketches (secure and accurate).

Real Estate Documentation

  • Turn a simple property walkthrough into an accurate 3D model.

  • Produce detailed 2D floor plans from rapidly acquired 3D scans.

  • Create digital twins of complex spaces, convert to 3D BIM models.

Surveying and Engineering

  • Accurately document as-builts, plot plans, infrastructure, etc.

  • Integrate 3D mapping into your traditional surveying workflows.

  • Capture hard-to-reach spaces inaccessible to other technologies.

  • Leverage GNSS, targets, etc. for stronger accuracy and global positioning.

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.
