What should I scan with 3D Objects mode?

Use it for individual items such as furniture, sculpture, products, and physical objects with visible surface detail.

What should I avoid scanning?

Avoid shiny, transparent, plain, or moving objects because they are difficult inputs for photogrammetry.

Does 3D Objects mode scan full rooms?

No. Use Mesh Mode or Room Plan for rooms and spaces.

What format does 3D Objects export?

The mode creates USDZ models of individual objects.

Is processing done on-device?

Yes. The 3D Objects workflow uses Apple Object Capture and PhotogrammetrySession entirely on-device.

3D Objects

iPhone 3D object scanning with Object Capture

Voxelio 3D Objects mode uses Apple Object Capture and PhotogrammetrySession to create high-fidelity USDZ models of individual physical items entirely on-device.

Device requirements

Requires Apple Object Capture and PhotogrammetrySession support on the iPhone. Best results come from stable, opaque, non-reflective objects with enough visual detail.

Why choose it

Object Capture for individual items

3D Objects mode is focused on physical items such as furniture, sculpture, products, and other standalone objects. It is not intended for full rooms or large environments.

On-device photogrammetry workflow

Voxelio uses Apple Object Capture and PhotogrammetrySession to process the object scan on-device. The result is a USDZ model that can fit into Apple-centered 3D and AR workflows.

USDZ models for product and creative work

USDZ output is useful for object review, AR placement, product visualization, and creative 3D reference. It gives you a portable model of the scanned item rather than a room-scale scan.

Pick objects that scan well

For better input, use stable, opaque objects with visible surface detail. Avoid shiny, transparent, plain, or moving objects, since those surfaces can make photogrammetry harder.

Choose the right mode for rooms

Use 3D Objects for individual items. For full rooms, choose Room Plan when you need structured walls and furniture, or Mesh Mode when you need LiDAR mesh geometry.

Compare nearby workflows

Voxelio modes overlap by design. Switch modes when the deliverable changes.

Dual Camera

Capture synchronized wide and ultra-wide HEVC video on supported iPhones, with single-camera fallback, intrinsics, and capture controls.
