Archisketch Turns Room Scans into 3D Floor Plans

Rethinking Interior Design

Designing or renovating a space often starts with measurements, sketches, and complex modeling tools. Traditionally, this process could take hours of manual work and required expertise in expensive 3D software. Archisketch was created to change that. Developed by a San Francisco-based team, it is a portable solution that transforms ordinary room scans into professional 2D and 3D floor plans, making interior design accessible and efficient.

How Archisketch Works

Archisketch automates the most time-consuming parts of design: measuring, modeling, and planning. Using the 3D Space Scanner, users simply attach the device to a smartphone, mark the corners of a room, and within minutes the system generates accurate 2D, 3D, and VR models.

The process doesn’t stop there. Through the Archisketch web editor, users can decorate and furnish their spaces with a drag-and-drop interface. The platform integrates seamlessly with AR and VR technologies, allowing real-world previews of furniture layouts or complete room designs.

Key Features

• 3D Space Scanner: Automatically generates floor plans by scanning room corners.
• Web Editor: A cloud-based design tool with over 100,000 global users.
• VR Preview: Immersive visualization with a head-mounted device for realistic perspectives.
• Laser Distance Measure: Accurate readings up to 40 meters.
• AR Functions: Measures distances between objects and displays 3D furniture in real time.
• Space Capture Mode: Creates floor plans of spaces up to 20 meters wide.
• Accessory Module: Adds external battery, sensors, and Bluetooth connectivity for standalone use.

Why It Matters

The idea for Archisketch came from the frustrations architects face:

• Measuring every corner of a building by hand.
• Spending weeks building 3D models.
• Relying on costly and complex software.

Existing digital solutions were often too expensive, fragmented, or inaccurate. Archisketch bridges this gap by combining hardware sensors with computer vision technology, producing accurate, high-precision measurements in a fraction of the time.

Applications in Daily Life

Archisketch is designed for both professionals and homeowners. It can be used for:

• Planning a move into a new home.
• Renovating or redecorating existing spaces.
• Experimenting with furniture layouts before purchase.

It also supports importing and exporting 3D files, making it compatible with existing professional workflows. For everyday users, it becomes a personal design assistant that is intuitive, automated, and affordable.
