Polycam

Polycam is a 3D scanning and photogrammetry platform that turns photographs into 3D models. You can capture objects or spaces using your phone or drone, then process them into detailed 3D assets using photogrammetry or newer Gaussian Splat technology. The platform handles the technical work of stitching images together and generating models, which you can then view, edit, and share. It's useful for anyone who needs 3D content without specialist equipment or training; small businesses use it for product visualisation, architects use it for site documentation, and educators use it for teaching spatial concepts. The tool works on a freemium model with a free tier for basic projects and paid plans that enable higher quality exports, more storage, and advanced features like AI-generated textures and drone integration.
