RealityScan vs Structure

RealityScan creates detailed 3D models from images and laser scans using photogrammetry. Its desktop software provides an end-to-end pipeline for high-fidelity photorealistic models and precise point clouds at any scale. Listed tools include cleanup and optimization, image layers, scalable worldbuilding workflows, and workflow automation. RealityScan Mobile adds real-time point-cloud feedback, automatic capture, augmented-reality scaling, camera controls, and masking. Mobile models can be uploaded to Sketchfab or exported to the device for use in other 3D software. The mobile app is free on iOS and Android. Desktop installation requires the Epic Games Launcher and an Epic Games account; listed operating systems include 64-bit Windows 8/8.1/10/11 or Windows Server 2008+, and Ubuntu 24.04 or Fedora 39. Individuals and small businesses below $1 million USD in revenue in the past 12 months, educational institutions, and students can use the product for free. Other seats cost $1,250 a year and include updates for one year. A 30-day trial is available, with tutorials, guides, documentation, sample datasets, and community forums provided.

Structure builds 3D scanning hardware and software for medical, clinical, and industrial applications. Its technology supports orthotic and prosthetic fitting, wound measurement, surgical planning, and patient monitoring. The Structure Sensor 3 attaches to compatible iPads and provides millimeter depth accuracy for body measurements. Developers can use the Structure SDK for raw depth frames, mesh extraction, foot measurement, and offline licensing; the SDK also supports apps in healthcare, industrial inspection, retail fit-tech, and augmented reality. Structure Capture exports STL, OBJ, and PLY CAD files directly from compatible iPhones and iPads, and includes a Scan Quality Indicator. The SDK detects foot landmarks such as metatarsals, heel point, and arch height. Capture works with specified TrueDepth-enabled iPhones and iPads running iOS 16 or iPadOS 16 or later, and Structure Sensor ST01, ST02, and ST03. A seven-day SDK trial costs nothing. Capture costs $19.99 a month or $199 a year; the Structure Sensor 3 costs $995, paid once. Commercial SDK distribution requires a contract and a quote.
