Polycam

Polycam is a 3D and spatial capture application that uses AI-assisted photogrammetry and LiDAR to generate digital models from physical assets. It processes inputs from phone cameras or drones to create point cloud exports, textured meshes, and virtual walkthroughs. The platform consolidates asset creation with built-in tools like a Gaussian Splatting creator, an AI Texture Generator, and a Content Management API for programmatic access. For enterprise deployments, it provides admin-controlled feature customization, SSO integration, and GDPR-compliant regional cloud storage options, streamlining multi-step data processing into a single web interface. The application is built for professionals in Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC), forensics, and product design. An architect can use the 3D lidar scanner to capture measurements and generate CAD/BIM-ready floor plans directly on-site. Forensics teams can use it for rapid scene documentation, while product designers can share 3D scans of prototypes using a shared team library with role-based management. While a freemium tier is available, access to high-speed batch processing and advanced export options requires a subscription plan.
