Canvas is a free 3D scanner app for iPads developed by US-based Occipital. Canvas is suitable for DIYers and home services professionals such as architects and interior designers.

The 3D scanning app’s interface is easy to use and the 3D scanning process is quite straightforward. Users simply need to tap on their iPad screen and walk around the room that they wish to 3D capture, while the app builds a 3D model of the room in real-time.
