What is Polycam?
Polycam is a powerful 3D capture application that transforms your smartphone into a professional-grade scanning tool. It allows users to effortlessly create high-quality 3D models from photos or rapidly generate accurate scans of spaces using its advanced LiDAR sensor. With Polycam, you can quickly capture site conditions to streamline surveying, create more accurate bids, and significantly reduce project rework.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed for maximum efficiency and precision. Users can generate instant, accurately scaled floor plans and download detailed spatial reports with a single tap. It provides powerful customization options for blueprints, allowing you to show or hide furniture, display interior and exterior measurements, and adjust details like wall thickness and room labels. Polycam also features both on-device and cloud processing, ensuring fast and reliable performance even for large-scale projects.
Additionally, Polycam simplifies the entire workflow from capture to delivery. You can edit 3D captures directly on your device, add comments for seamless team collaboration, take precise measurements, and export models in over a dozen file formats compatible with professional software like AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp, making it the ultimate tool for architects, designers, and construction professionals.
