A 3D scanning workflow starts with the capture and ends with an output you can inspect or use elsewhere. Compared on capture input, textured mesh output and export formats, these tools also specify measurement features, API access and web app availability. Mobile platforms, free plans and paid-from pricing provide more to weigh when choosing where and how to work. RealityScan, Polycam and WebODM are among the options named, with 3DF Zephyr and Agisoft Metashape also represented. Consider the listed input and output capabilities alongside measurement and access needs, so the scanning workflow you choose fits how you plan to capture and use 3D models.
