    I've built and programmed a 3D scanner with a lidar sensor. I'm not sure what you are using but I guess it's the built-in lidar from apple devices? You can install Rhino from the Appstore which has a tool for 3D scans with apple devices and I assume it creates a 3D model you can work with.

    My selfbuild scanner creates pointclouds which are importable to Rhino and I guess many other 3D software. For lines/surfaces/.. (everything except points) further manual modification is needed.

    It looks like rather a large object for a single scan.Things such as Faro arms or Proliners use target objects so that you can stitch several scans together to create a model of the whole object.something of this nature may work with an Iphone.

    Thank you @aaronhl for your words, you are really kind. Yes, I like to help those who may need it and sometimes I even make a profit from it (which I also like). And I never try to dazzle anyone with my enormous theoretical knowledge, I prefer to make them participate in my real practical experience.
    Cheers.
