Polycam is the most comprehensive platform for capturing reality and converting it into 3D digital assets. It allows engineers, designers, and content creators to scan any object or geographic space using a phone or drone and instantly convert it into accurate 3D models, floor plans, or virtual tours. Thanks to its AI-powered engine, the tool processes images and spatial data to generate engineering files ready for use in programs such as AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp.
What does it actually offer based on user experience? ⭐
Users describe Polycam as "laser scanning in your pocket," saving thousands of dollars that would otherwise be spent on traditional scanning devices. Contractors praise its speed in producing floor plans with amazing accuracy just by walking around a room, while game designers use it to transfer objects from the real world into their virtual worlds with stunning visual accuracy. Its integration with mixed reality glasses (such as Vision Pro) has made it the tool of choice for showcasing real estate and engineering projects before they are implemented.
