Customize the right 3D scanner for your needs! With the hardware and software options continuing to grow, it's time for a review of the step-by-step process to set up your ideal kit:
1. Choose your tablet / phone:
The first step is to select a tablet or phone for use with your 3D scanning hardware and software. If you already own a compatible device, you're one step ahead! Just please make sure that your device meets all the minimum specs required, including a USB 3.0+ port.

2. Choose your 3D depth camera (or multiple!):
Each option offers unique benefits in terms of accuracy, price, range, daylight capability, size, compatibility, etc., so often times it may make sense to equip a kit with multiple cameras. Please click here for a more in-depth list of all the currently supported offerings.

3. Choose your 3D scanning app:
In our humble opinion, the most important part! Activate Dot3D Pro, X, or Lite on your tablet/phone to complete the package and enable instant 3D capture and editing capabilities. Please click here to download Dot3D, and here to subscribe to your preferred version.
