Scandy

What Scandy does

Scandy is a New Orleans-based 3D scanning technology company founded in 2014 that converts consumer iOS devices equipped with TrueDepth cameras or LiDAR sensors into full-color 3D scanners. The company targets individual hobbyists and creators, professional 3D artists, educational institutions, and enterprises that need to digitize physical objects without investing in specialized scanning hardware. Its core offering is a proprietary computer-vision and depth-sensor processing stack that performs real-time on-device mesh generation, eliminating the need for server processing and enabling live preview during capture.

The product portfolio centers on Scandy Pro, a full-color 3D scanning iOS app with claimed 1mm small-scale accuracy and exports to PLY, OBJ, and STL; Scandy Enterprise, a one-time-purchase license for institutions; the Roux SDK, an embedded 3D scanning kit licensed to third-party developers; and a set of sub-brands (Hoxel, Cappy AR, STL Maker) that extend the same TrueDepth-based stack into adjacent use cases. All products run on iOS, leveraging Apple ARKit and the TrueDepth/LiDAR sensor hardware available on iPhone X and newer devices, iPad Pro models from 2018 onward, and the LiDAR-equipped iPhone 12 Pro and later iPad Pro.

Scandy generates revenue through four streams: Scandy Pro subscriptions at $5.99/month or $49.99/year, per-export fees for casual users, Scandy Enterprise one-time licenses with volume discounts for 20+ education purchases, and Roux SDK licensing at $99/month plus per-device royalties ($1/year consumer, $50/year enterprise distribution). Distribution is primarily through the iOS App Store with direct enterprise sales layered on top. The company has disclosed approximately $1.65M in funding across two 2016 rounds ($1M from Callais Capital and a $650K round of undisclosed investors), operates without further disclosed venture backing in available sources, and reports a headcount of 11-50 employees.

Revenue model

1. Scandy Pro Subscriptions: Monthly and annual subscription tiers for the Scandy Pro consumer app. Users can scan for free but pay for export functionality. Monthly subscription at $5.99 USD, annual at $49.99 USD.
2. Per-Export Payments: Individual export payments for casual 3D scanners who do not want to commit to a subscription. Allows users to pay per export rather than ongoing subscription.
3. Scandy Enterprise Licenses: One-time purchase model for educational institutions and businesses. Pay once, unlimited scans and exports without subscription. Education discounts available for 20+ licenses.
4. Roux SDK Licensing: Software development kit licensed to third-party developers. $99/month access fee plus per-device royalties ($1/year per device for consumer apps, $50/year per device for enterprise distribution).

Core offering

Scandy develops and distributes mobile 3D scanning software that turns depth-sensor-equipped iOS devices into full-color 3D capture tools. Its flagship Scandy Pro iOS app generates real-time, geometrically accurate 3D meshes that can be edited and exported in PLY, OBJ, and STL formats, while Scandy Enterprise provides the same capability under a perpetual institutional license. The Roux SDK licenses the underlying scanning technology to third-party developers for embedding into their own applications.

Product overview

Scandy offers a suite of 3D scanning products centered around its core technology of depth sensors and computer vision. The main consumer product is Scandy Pro (iOS app with free/_subscription tiers) for creating full-color 3D scans, while Scandy Enterprise provides a one-time purchase option for institutions. The Roux SDK enables developers to embed 3D scanning into custom applications using any depth sensor including LiDAR. Additional products include STL Maker (another iOS scanning app), Cappy AR (AR-focused scanning app), and Hoxel (related 3D app), all utilizing TrueDepth camera technology. The product portfolio spans consumer, enterprise, and developer segments with iOS-focused applications.

Direct peers

• 3D Scanner App: 3D Scanner App is a long-standing iOS 3D scanning application that uses LiDAR and TrueDepth sensors to generate 3D models. It competes directly with Scandy Pro on the iOS App Store for the same hobbyist and prosumer audience.
• Qlone: Qlone is a mobile 3D scanning application that uses a printed mat and device camera to generate 3D models, popular among hobbyists, AR/VR creators, and educators. It competes directly with Scandy Pro in the consumer 3D scanning category and shares the educational and prosumer segments.
• KIRI Engine: KIRI Engine is a mobile 3D scanning and photogrammetry app available on iOS and Android. It serves a comparable hobbyist and prosumer audience as Scandy Pro and offers similar mesh generation and export capabilities.
• Scaniverse: Scaniverse is a mobile 3D scanning application supporting iOS and Android, with features for capturing, editing, and sharing 3D models. It directly competes with Scandy Pro in the consumer 3D capture category and shares the photogrammetry/mesh-capture workflow.
• Polycam: Polycam is a mobile 3D scanning app available on iOS and Android that uses LiDAR and photogrammetry to capture full-color 3D models. It directly competes with Scandy Pro in the consumer and prosumer 3D scanning category, with overlapping use cases including avatar creation and object digitization.
• Luma AI: Luma AI develops photogrammetry and neural radiance field technology for 3D capture from mobile devices and video. It is a direct competitor to Scandy in the consumer-facing 3D scanning space and a more capital-backed rival in the broader 3D content creation market.

Emerging players

• Bellus3D: Bellus3D develops 3D face scanning technology for mobile devices and kiosks, focused on high-fidelity facial capture for AR, beauty, and avatar applications. It overlaps with Scandy's use cases in digital double and avatar creation, but specializes narrowly in facial geometry rather than general object scanning.

Broad incumbents

• Google (ARCore): Google's ARCore framework provides Android-based AR and depth-sensing capabilities analogous to Apple's ARKit. As the dominant alternative mobile AR platform, ARCore defines the platform context against which Scandy's iOS-only approach is measured and limits the company's addressable market.
• Apple (ARKit): Apple's ARKit framework provides native iOS developers with depth sensing, scene reconstruction, and mesh capture primitives that underpin Scandy's technology. While not a single-product competitor, Apple's first-party AR capabilities and any future native scanning features pose a structural competitive threat to Scandy's iOS-only stack.
• RealityCapture (Epic Games): RealityCapture is a photogrammetry and 3D scanning software product now owned by Epic Games, widely used for professional-grade 3D reconstruction from photos. While desktop-based, it competes in the broader 3D scanning ecosystem and represents the high-end capability that mobile scanning apps like Scandy Pro are pushing toward.
