3D scanners are expensive. If we want highquality
results, we must invest a considerable
sum. However, there are mobile applications on the market that allow 3D scanning with
just an average mobile phone. This paper extensively evaluates and demonstrates the use of
a mobile phone as a 3D scanner. The three most common methods (applications) for
scanning with a mobile phone, which were used to scan three substantially different
objects, are compared. This provided a good overview of the usability of each method. The
scanning results are then used to demonstrate the reverse engineering process, specifically
for modeling point clouds and simulating mechanical loads on the obtained model. The
theoretical part of the final thesis includes theory related to the discussed topics of
scanning, point cloud modeling, and simulation. As expected, it turned out that each 3D
scanning method is useful for its set of purposes. With the obtained 3D meshes, we were
able to create a parametric model of the object with minimal complications and perform
load simulations on it.
