Scandy Pro

Scandy Pro is an app developed by Scandy Co. that allows users to create high-resolution, full-color 3D scans using compatible iOS devices. According to the vendor, this app aims to make 3D content creation accessible to both novices and professionals. It is designed for individuals and small to medium-sized businesses. The following are key features of Scandy Pro:

Resolution: Users can adjust the level of detail in their scans, ranging from 1.0mm for smaller items to 4.0mm for larger objects.

Save Scan: After scanning, users have the option to save or discard the scan. They can review the scan before saving, using touch gestures to rotate and zoom in and out. According to the vendor, each user is allowed 1 free save per week, and subscriptions are available for unlimited saves on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.

Background Color: Users can customize the background color of their scans in view mode. The app supports gradients and allows adjustments for saturation and brightness.

Crop: The app provides a crop tool to remove unwanted parts of the scan. Users can rotate the image on the screen to crop the sides and top.

Decimate: Users can reduce the number of polygon faces in their scans to create a smoothing effect. Lowering the polygon count reduces the file size but also decreases the level of detail.

Lighting: Users can adjust the color and direction of the light projected onto their models in the file viewer. According to the vendor, combining lighting adjustments with background colors can create stunning illumination effects.

Monochrome: The app allows users to apply a monochrome color filter to their scans, initially setting the model to grey. The color can be changed in lighting mode.

Normal Color: Users can view the surface quality of their scans by inspecting the surface normals. According to the vendor, this feature helps highlight rough versus smooth areas and works best when twisting the model to reveal details.

Noise Filter: Users can set the level of the noise filter before scanning. Lower levels capture more inaccurate pixels for faster scanning, while higher levels remove potentially inaccurate data for more precise results.

Wireframe: The app offers a wireframe mode that allows users to see the edges of every triangle in their models. This is useful in conjunction with decimation to observe the decrease in complexity.
