The Ultimate 3D Scanner for iPhone

TiiHub uses your iPhone's LiDAR scanner and Apple's Object Capture technology to turn real-world objects, rooms, and spaces into photorealistic USDZ models. Scan a Lego MOC, a sneaker, a sculpture, a salt lamp, your kid's clay project. Then decorate any room in AR with what you captured.

How 3D scanning works in TiiHub

The entire scanning process happens on your iPhone. No cloud processing, no waiting overnight. TiiHub guides you through every step with real-time feedback and tutorial videos.

1. Position your object

Place the object on a flat surface with room to walk around it. TiiHub detects the object and shows a bounding box you can adjust to frame it perfectly.

2. Walk around and capture

Slowly circle the object while TiiHub automatically captures images. The app gives real-time feedback: move closer, slow down, more light needed, or aim at the object.

3. Flip for full coverage

If possible, flip the object over for a second pass to capture the bottom. TiiHub detects whether the object is flippable and adjusts guidance accordingly.

4. On-device reconstruction

Apple's photogrammetry engine processes your captures into a USDZ 3D model. You can watch the six processing stages: preprocessing, alignment, point cloud, mesh, texturing, and optimization.

5. Preview and inspect

Inspect your 3D model in an interactive viewer. Rotate, zoom, and check quality from every angle before deciding to save and share.

6. Share as a post or collectible

Post your scan to TiiHub as an unlimited item or a limited-edition drop with serial numbers. Add it to your collection, and others can collect and place it in AR.

Two scanning modes

Object Capture

Designed for scanning individual objects. Uses object masking to isolate the subject from its background. Walk 360° around the object for complete coverage. Best for items you can place on a table and circle.

Requires iPhone with LiDAR (iPhone 12 Pro or later)

Area Capture

Captures scenes and surfaces including the surrounding environment. No object masking. Sweep your camera across the subject. Great for terrain, walls, large objects, or anything too big to walk around.

Requires iPhone with LiDAR (iPhone 12 Pro or later)

Room scanning with RoomPlan

TiiHub also includes Apple's RoomPlan technology for scanning entire rooms into 3D floor plans. Point your iPhone at walls, floors, and ceilings, and RoomPlan automatically detects walls, doors, windows, and furniture. The result is a USDZ floor plan you can share and view in 3D.

Smart capture features

Real-Time Feedback

TiiHub gives live guidance during capture: move closer, move slower, aim at your object, more light recommended. Each message maps to specific capture quality issues.

Auto + Manual Capture

Images are captured automatically as you move around the object. You can also tap the manual capture button for tricky angles that need extra coverage.

Image Counter

A real-time counter shows how many images have been captured (minimum 10 for processing). Alerts you if you're over-capturing, which slows reconstruction.

Bounding Box Adjustment

During the detection phase, drag handles to precisely frame your object. Reset the box anytime if detection needs to start over.

Tutorial Videos

Built-in tutorial videos play on your first scan. Different videos for object vs area mode, and for iPhone vs iPad. Disable them anytime in settings.

Checkpoint Recovery

Processing checkpoints are saved automatically. If reconstruction is interrupted, TiiHub can resume from where it left off instead of starting over.

3D scanning questions

What's the best 3D scanning app for iPhone?

TiiHub is a free 3D scanning app for iPhone built on Apple's Object Capture and LiDAR. The entire pipeline runs on-device, with real-time guidance during capture, on-iPhone reconstruction, and direct sharing to a social feed where others can collect your scans and view them in AR on Apple Vision Pro.

How does 3D scanning work in TiiHub?

TiiHub guides you through six steps on iPhone. Frame the object in a bounding box, walk slowly around it while images are captured automatically, optionally flip it for full coverage, then Apple's photogrammetry engine reconstructs a USDZ model on-device. Preview, save, and post it as an unlimited or limited-edition item.

Which iPhones can 3D scan objects?

Object Capture and Area Capture both require an iPhone with a LiDAR sensor: iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, or any newer Pro model (13 Pro, 14 Pro, 15 Pro, 16 Pro, etc.). Non-Pro iPhones can still use every other TiiHub feature: browse the feed, post photos and videos, collect items, and join Hubs.

What file format do 3D scans use?

TiiHub's 3D scans are saved as USDZ, Apple's standard format for 3D and AR content. USDZ is supported across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS, and works in third-party tools like Reality Composer Pro, Blender, and Cinema 4D. Room scans from RoomPlan are also exported as USDZ.

Can I share or sell my 3D scans?

Yes. Post your 3D scan to TiiHub as an unlimited item or as a limited-edition drop with unique serial numbers. Other users can collect it into their inventory, and on Apple Vision Pro they can place your scan in their actual room with AR. There's no blockchain or crypto: scarcity is enforced by serial numbers in TiiHub's database, and waitlists open when limited drops sell out.
