Capture the depth
We tapped the Apple TrueDepth camera to capture the foot as a dense 3D point cloud, handling the realities of hand-held scanning.

Kintec FootScanner SDK
Turning an iPhone into a clinical-grade 3D foot scanner.
A native iOS SDK that uses the Apple TrueDepth camera to capture a foot as a 3D point cloud and generate STL/PLY models — with on-device ML, no specialist hardware required.

The challenge
What needed to be true
3D foot scanning normally means dedicated, expensive hardware. Kintec wanted clinical-grade capture from a device the customer already owns — an iPhone.
That means turning raw TrueDepth camera data into a clean, watertight 3D model suitable for downstream manufacturing — a hard signal-processing and ML problem, packaged as a reusable SDK.
How we approached it
The approach, step by step.
02
Process on device
On-device ML and point-cloud processing to clean, align, and reconstruct the scan into a usable model — no round-trip to a server.
03
Ship a reusable SDK
Packaged as an SDK that outputs standard STL/PLY 3D models, so it drops into a product pipeline rather than being a one-off demo.
What we built
Shipped, not slideware
Every line below is built and running — the features that make Kintec FootScanner SDK a real product, not a prototype.
Native iOS SDK in Swift for 3D foot scanning.
Apple TrueDepth camera capture into a 3D point cloud.
Point-cloud processing: cleaning, alignment, reconstruction.
STL and PLY 3D model generation for downstream manufacturing.
On-device ML — capture and processing run locally.
Designed as a reusable SDK for integration into products.

Results & impact
Where it landed
Built by the founder at Clustox, the FootScanner SDK turns a standard iPhone's TrueDepth camera into a 3D scanning tool that outputs manufacturing-ready models — no dedicated hardware required.
