Polycam overview

What is Polycam?

Polycam is 3D capture made actionable. Most tools stop at the scan — Polycam turns that scan into the documents your team already runs on: floor plans, as-built drawings, estimates, CAD files, roof reports, spatial reports, and claims files, generated straight from the phone your operators already carry.

The gap between standing in a space and having a usable plan for it has always cost time: return site visits for a missed measurement, days waiting on a drafter, delayed bids and sign-offs. Polycam closes that gap. Capture a room, building, or job site once, and walk out with the deliverable the job requires, not weeks later.

Who it's for: Contractors, architects and designers, trade specialists, engineers, insurance adjusters, and real estate teams who need accurate measurements and documentation without hiring outside help or scheduling a second visit.

How it works: Polycam supports every major capture mode — LiDAR, photogrammetry, and Gaussian splatting — for indoor, outdoor, object, and aerial scans, on the majority of iOS and Android devices, including phones without LiDAR. Competing scanning apps typically require a LiDAR sensor; Polycam doesn't.

From a single scan, Polycam generates: floor plans and as-built drawings, project estimates, CAD files, roof and claims reports, spatial reports.

Results our customers see: 3x fewer preliminary site visits on average, 95% reduction in time spent scanning, 80% reduction in project rework, as-builts generated in minutes instead of weeks, roughly $9,000 saved per operator in hardware costs (up to $250,000 at the organization level).

Polycam is used by more than 10 million customers who have generated over 34 million scans and captured more than 2 billion square feet of space.
