What is MagiScan?
MagiScan is a mobile 3D scanner app for iOS and Android. It converts physical objects into high-quality 3D models using a smartphone camera. No specialized hardware or technical expertise is required. The app targets creators, designers, engineers, and businesses that need digital versions of real-world objects without manual 3D modeling.
Features & Benefits
- Photogrammetry scanning – Capture objects by photographing them from multiple angles. The app processes the images and generates a detailed 3D model automatically.
- LiDAR scanning – Use LiDAR hardware on supported devices for faster, more precise depth capture of objects and spaces.
- Hybrid scanning mode – Combine photogrammetry and LiDAR data to produce higher-accuracy models than either method alone.
- Text-to-3D generation – Generate 3D assets from text prompts or images using AI, without scanning a physical object.
- Room Plan – Scan interior spaces to create schematic floor plans with dimensions using AR and LiDAR.
- Multi-format export – Export models in OBJ, STL, FBX, PLY, USDZ, GLB, and GLTF formats for use across design, printing, and development pipelines.
- Video export – Export scanned models as a 360-degree video for sharing on social media or presentations.
- NVIDIA Omniverse integration – Send models directly to NVIDIA Omniverse via a dedicated plugin for real-time 3D collaboration and visualization.
- Minecraft export – Convert scanned objects into block structures for direct import into Minecraft.
- Manual scanning mode – Disable automatic compass guidance for precise, user-controlled capture suited to professional workflows.
- Upload from photos – Create 3D models from existing photo sets, including images shot with professional cameras or drones.
- Point cloud mode – Scan surrounding environments to generate spatial point cloud data.
Real-World Applications
Product teams and e-commerce sellers can use MagiScan to build 3D product models for online stores. Shoppers engaging with interactive 3D content may make more informed purchase decisions, reducing returns. The 3D scanner workflow replaces expensive photoshoots and manual asset creation for product visualization.
Industrial teams working in manufacturing or parts restoration can scan physical components and bring them into design software for measurement, inspection, or reproduction. Engineers may use the exported STL or OBJ files directly in CAD pipelines or 3D printing workflows without building models from scratch.
Game developers and digital artists can scan real-world objects to generate game-ready assets quickly. The ability to export to NVIDIA Omniverse opens use cases in virtual production, scene building, and metaverse development. Creators who previously needed dedicated photogrammetry rigs can now run the same 3D scanner workflow from a phone.
Interior designers and architects may use the Room Plan feature to capture spatial measurements and generate floor plan layouts on-site. Medical professionals working in fields like orthotics or aesthetic medicine can access MagiScan’s vertical apps — Orthio and AVA — which apply the same core 3D scanner technology to clinical scanning and surgical planning.
