Revo Scan 6 vs Structure

Revo Scan 6 is free software for capturing and processing scans from Revopoint 3D scanners. Its workflow moves through scanning, fusing, editing, and exporting, with tools for point clouds and meshes. Editing includes noise removal, hole filling, smoothing, and model repositioning; users can also align and merge scans and map RGB camera color data onto meshes. Output formats include PLY, OBJ, STL, ASC, 3MF, GLTF, FBX, and Splat. The software is listed for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, though Windows requires x86_64 and macOS requires ARM 64 architecture. Compatible scanners vary by platform and include models from the POP, MINI, RANGE, INSPIRE, and MIRACO families. AI object segmentation and tracking, 3D Gaussian Splatting, and GPU-accelerated fusion are listed for POP 4 and INSPIRE 2 only; GPU fusion is also restricted to specified GPU models. Revopoint describes the software for 3D modeling, reverse engineering, CAD design, product development, and 3D printing workflows.

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.
