Question 1

What does ScanTo3D by Opal AI do?

Accepted Answer

It turns a LiDAR walk-through of a building or room into a 2D floor plan and a 3D CAD model in real time, giving you measurable documentation of a real space straight from a mobile device.

Question 2

Who is ScanTo3D built for?

Accepted Answer

It targets real estate, insurance adjusters, architects, contractors and BIM specialists, plus facilities and planning teams who need accurate floor plans and as-built models quickly.

Question 3

Do I need a special device to use ScanTo3D?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you need a LiDAR-equipped device since the app relies on depth sensing to reconstruct spaces accurately. Capture quality depends on covering the space thoroughly as you scan.

Question 4

Can it create BIM models?

Accepted Answer

Opal AI offers a Scan to BIM capability that converts point cloud data into detailed Building Information Models, bridging field capture and the structured models that AEC teams build with.

Question 5

How much does ScanTo3D cost?

Accepted Answer

Opal AI does not publish a single consumer price on its main pages. Enterprise spatial tools like this are usually offered through direct contact or tiered plans, so reach out to Opal AI for current pricing.

Question 6

Is ScanTo3D good for making 3D art or game assets?

Accepted Answer

Not really. It is designed for measurable, structural accuracy of real spaces rather than decorative models, so artists and game developers are better served by dedicated 3D asset generators.
