What are 3D Modeling Apps for iPad?

3D modeling software is designed to create, edit, and manipulate 3D models used in a wide range of industries such as gaming, film production, architecture, and product design. These tools allow users to create 3D representations of objects, environments, and characters by manipulating shapes, textures, and materials in a digital space. Features typically include modeling tools for mesh creation, sculpting, texturing, and rigging, as well as rendering capabilities to visualize the final design. 3D modeling software is essential for prototyping, visualizing concepts, and preparing models for applications such as 3D printing, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR). Compare and read user reviews of the best 3D Modeling apps for iPad currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    Canvas

    Canvas

    Occipital

    The new power tool for home improvement. Fast, easy, mobile 3D scanning for home service pros and DIY warriors. Powered by the world’s first mobile depth sensor, the Structure Sensor, Canvas makes capturing a 3D model of a room delightfully easy. Simply tap scan, walk around the room, and watch as a scale-accurate model is built in real-time, right on your iPad. No more busting out the measuring tape and converting scribbles into floor plans later – Canvas captures tens of thousands of measurements all at once, and then pieces it together into an interactive 3D model. Your 3D model is saved on your iPad, so you can go back and revisit any space, at any time. Whether you just need to refresh your memory of a given viewpoint or capture a forgotten measurement, you're never more than a few taps away. Save hours with professional-grade CAD output. With our Scan To CAD service, we’ll convert your scan into an editable, professional-grade, CAD file.

    HOVER

    HOVER

    HOVER

    Home improvement shouldn’t be a mystery. Know what it will look like and what it will cost before the work even begins. HOVER generates the most accurate measurements (and a whole lot more) from a few photos of your home. With just a few photos, HOVER can create an accurately measured 3D model of a home. Your pro gets a detailed report of accurate measurements of your home from those photos. You get a 3D model of your home to design; with your pro, select materials for your project. Your pro uses your design choices and measurements to quickly and accurately estimate your project. Accurate measurements, fast estimates, direct orders, and happier customers mean more time and money to build your business. We help you connect and collaborate with homeowners, to make jobs simpler and more transparent. We offer direct ordering, production management, remote measurements, and automated estimates to make jobs more cost-effective and more efficient.
