About Sony 3D Creator
The 3D Creator is an app that allows you to scan objects in 3D. The latest version offers five different scan modes, selfie scan, face scan, head scan, food scan and freeform scan. The 3D Creator is preinstalled in the Xperia 1, Xperia XZ1, Xperia XZ1 Compact, Xperia XZ2, Xperia XZ2 Compact, Xperia XZ2 Premium, and Xperia XZ3. The Xperia XZ Premium receives the 3D Creator as part of the Android 8.0 (Oreo) update. The first part of the scanning process is the calibration. The camera takes images as you circulate slowly around the object and an algorithm looks for characteristics that stand out in the images. Based on the camera orientation and captured images a point cloud is created. The point cloud is quite rough and has no color. Based on the point cloud information a mesh is created. The mesh is, simply put, a group of 3D points called vertices. Using the points from the point cloud the algorithm sculpts the mesh allowing it to shape itself after the scanned object.

ReCap Pro
Reality capture software connecting the physical world to the digital. Use ReCap™ Pro 3D scanning software to create 3D models from imported photographs and laser scans. Deliver a point cloud or mesh in support of BIM processes. Collaborate across teams with design based on reality. ReCap Photo, a service included with ReCap Pro, processes drone photography to create 3D representations of current site conditions, objects, and more. It also supports the creation of point clouds, meshes, and ortho photos. Use solutions created with the ReCap Pro Software Development Kit (SDK) to quickly get reality data into Autodesk design and construction tools. Compare the scan view (RealView) and overhead map view side-by-side. Use the compass widget to set the XY axis for the user coordinate system in the overhead view. Use high-precision GPS technology to avoid costly prep work in setting ground control points and get survey-grade accuracy from photo reconstruction.

PolyWorks|Modeler
PolyWorks|Modeler™ is a comprehensive reverse-engineering software solution that allows extracting optimal CAD entities, curves, surfaces, parametric sketches, and prismatic features, from polygonal models of digitized parts to serve as the starting point in your professional CAD modeling solution. The first step in a reverse-engineering workflow consists in transforming digitized point clouds into surface-based polygonal models, also called meshes. Polygonal models are more compact, more accurate, and less noisy than raw point clouds and are directly handled by industrial applications such as milling, 3D printing, and aerodynamic simulation. Adopt effective scanning methods that ensure quality and precision with real-time quality meshing technology. Fill holes, smooth and rebuild surfaces, clean boundaries, recover sharp edges, make surfaces watertight, and more. Extrude boundaries, offset surfaces, reconstruct fillets, perform Boolean operations with CAD models, and more.
