LiDAR Scan

iPhone LiDAR mesh scanner

Voxelio LiDAR Scan captures LiDAR mesh data for rooms, spaces, and environments. Export canonical OBJ + MTL files, with options for surface classification colors, neutral mesh output, or real-color texture baking.

Best for

  • Room and environment mesh scans
  • OBJ workflows for design and 3D tools
  • Textured LiDAR mesh references
  • Surface classification review

Outputs

  • OBJ mesh
  • MTL material file
  • Optional texture atlas or photo textures
  • Classification-colored, neutral, or real-color mesh output

Device requirements

Requires LiDAR mesh capture support on the iPhone. Texture options and scan quality depend on the scene, lighting, and selected Lo-Fi, Mid, or Max setting.

Why choose it

LiDAR geometry for rooms and environments

LiDAR Scan focuses on physical spaces rather than isolated product scans. It uses LiDAR mesh capture to build polygon geometry for rooms, interiors, and other environments where spatial layout matters.

Canonical OBJ + MTL export

The main export path is OBJ + MTL, a practical format pair for many 3D, design, and analysis tools. Optional texture output can add a texture atlas or photo textures when your workflow needs visual context.

Classification, neutral, or real-color output

Use surface classification colors when you want to inspect detected surface types, neutral mesh output when shape matters most, or real-color texture baking when the scan needs sampled visual appearance.

Quality settings for different capture goals

Lo-Fi, Mid, and Max quality settings let you balance detail, processing time, and file size. That makes LiDAR Scan useful for quick spatial references as well as more detailed LiDAR mesh exports.

Choose mesh when surfaces are the deliverable

LiDAR Scan is the best fit when you need connected surfaces from a LiDAR scan. Use Point Cloud for raw depth samples, Room Scan for structured room elements, or Object Scan for individual photogrammetry models.

LiDAR Scan questions

What does LiDAR Scan export?
LiDAR Scan exports canonical OBJ + MTL files, with optional texture atlas or photo texture output.
Can I scan a room as a textured mesh?
Yes. LiDAR Scan supports real-color texture baking when you want sampled camera color on the LiDAR mesh.
What are Lo-Fi, Mid, and Max settings for?
They adjust the balance between scan detail, processing cost, and output size.
How is LiDAR Scan different from Room Scan?
LiDAR Scan exports surface geometry as a mesh. Room Scan creates a structured room model with elements such as walls, doors, windows, openings, and furniture.
Is LiDAR Scan for individual objects?
It can capture geometry in a scene, but individual object modeling is usually better suited to Object Scan.
