RTAB-Map - 3D LiDAR Scanner

I’ve been using RTAB-Map for a few years now, and it’s easily one of the most capable 3D LiDAR scanning apps on the App Store. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but that’s because it’s a genuinely advanced, flexible tool—not a watered-down “one-button” scanner. After trying many competing apps, this is the one I keep coming back to: the results are excellent, the feature set is deep, and it’s truly free all the way through. Huge thanks to the developers for the hard work and for making something this powerful accessible to everyone. /s/AG:AI–G52T

If you’re looking for a 3d scanner app, stop here! You’ve found it. I would give this 6 stars if I could. RTAB-Map is fabulous. It does the job and gets out of the way. No ads, no accounts, no spyware. You open it and it just works. Simple data formats, easy sharing. What a refreshingly straightforward tool—thank you Mathieu!

There is no better 3D scanning app for the real 3D scan enthusiast. I have tried all 20 or so of them, with full feature unlocks. The only downside is that big scans need lots of RAM, so go ahead and get yourself a tablet with at least 16GB of RAM. otherwise, it will be unstable and keep closing on you without saving. I’ve had a lot of great scans get lost. But the scans that didn’t get erased are insane. Loop closure is so crazy.
