What it is
Dot3D is professional 3D capture and scanning software for digitizing complex environments on mobile devices. It supports large indoor and outdoor scans, loop closure, appending scenes, and annotations during capture. Users can apply coded targets, survey control coordinates, distance constraints, wall-to-wall measurements, and planarity constraints to scans. Dot3D Edit provides a separate workflow for editing and processing data without scanning, including cropping, measurement, annotation, and export.
The software supports iOS, Android, and Windows. Capture inputs include iPhone Pro and Pro Max models from 12 onward, iPad Pro models from 2020 onward, Orbbec Gemini 336L, listed Intel RealSense cameras, DPI-10, and DPI-X. Prime supports real-time RTK/GNSS hardware including Leica FLX100 plus, Emlid Reach RX/RX2, and Trimble DA2; its real-time RTK/GNSS feature requires iOS. Exports include DP, E57, LAS, LAZ, PTS, PTX, PLY, PTG, RCS, and POD, with RCS and POD limited to Windows. The maker says data stays on the local device unless explicitly sent to DotProduct.
