A 3D face scanner that fits in your pocket
SynCap turns the LiDAR camera of an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro into a 3D capture tool. One slow pass around the patient, and SynX reconstructs a coloured 3D model of the face.

Step 1 of 4
Capture in one slow pass
Hold the phone about 30 cm away and move slowly around the patient. A live map turns green as each area is covered, from forehead to chin. The app also guides you on distance, light and keeping the patient still.
Step 2 of 4
From frames to a surface
The frames you keep are uploaded over an authenticated, signed connection and filed under the right patient. SynX builds the 3D surface while you carry on.
Step 3 of 4
Colour from the photos
The photographs are projected onto the surface, giving you a model you can turn and inspect from any angle, right in the app.
Step 4 of 4
Then measure
Anatomical landmarks are placed automatically for you to review and correct. Measure the surface and compare scans of the same patient over time.
Made for the consulting room
No scanner to install
Runs on LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models. No rig, no booth, no dedicated room.
Guided for the whole team
On-screen guidance and a live coverage map help anyone on your staff get a usable scan.
Filed by patient
Every scan sits under its patient, with medical record number and full scan history.
Private by default
A personal sign-in for each clinician, authenticated uploads, and account deletion right in the app.
Then FaceLab measures it
Every scan lands in FaceLab, SynX’s web app for clinicians. A face mask is fitted to the surface, anatomical landmarks are placed on it, and the standard measurements are ready before you open the scan.
Real output for this scan, computed with FaceLab’s own landmarking and measurement code.

Measurement values only. SynCap and FaceLab are measurement and visualisation tools for qualified healthcare professionals, not diagnostic devices. They record and measure facial surface geometry and give no clinical interpretation, risk assessment or treatment recommendation. Interpretation of these values is the responsibility of the treating clinician.
