Synthetic Dimension GmbH

Measuring a room accurately has always been more time-consuming and error-prone than it looks. Architects, property developers, estate agents, energy consultants, and building contractors have historically relied on laser distance meters, tape measures, manual sketches, and hours of post-processing to produce the floor plans and 3D models they need for design, valuation, retrofit planning, or compliance work. The process is slow, the results are only as good as the surveyor's precision, and turning site measurements into usable digital deliverables typically requires specialist skills and additional software. Synthetic Dimension GmbH has dramatically simplified that entire workflow with Metaroom — a professional 3D scanning platform for iPhone and iPad. Using the LiDAR sensors built into recent Apple devices, Metaroom captures spatial data at a level of accuracy and detail that was previously achievable only with dedicated hardware costing many times more than a consumer mobile device. The platform processes that sensor data to generate accurate 2D floor plans and 3D models in just a few minutes, entirely on the device, without requiring cloud connectivity or specialist post-processing skills. What once took hours can now be completed at the end of a single site visit, with results ready to share or export before the surveyor has left the building. The export capabilities are a critical part of the platform's practical value. Metaroom supports standard CAD and BIM formats — including IFC, DXF, and GLB — making the resulting data immediately usable in the professional design and construction workflows where precision matters. For architects working in BIM environments, for contractors needing accurate as-built records, and for energy consultants requiring precise room geometry for thermal modelling, this format compatibility means Metaroom is not just a convenient scanning tool but a genuine productivity accelerator that integrates seamlessly into existing professional workflows. The sustainability dimension of the platform is also increasingly significant. Accurate digital documentation of existing buildings is a prerequisite for effective retrofit planning — the kind of detailed energy analysis required to identify where insulation, glazing, or heating upgrades will deliver the greatest emissions reductions. By making that documentation faster and cheaper to produce, Metaroom helps lower the barrier to the building renovations that are essential to meeting climate targets across Europe and beyond. Synthetic Dimension targets a broad professional market — architects, estate agents, energy consultants, construction companies, and many others — with a platform available through a free trial that allows potential users to experience the capability firsthand. Growth is built on partnerships and ecosystem development, positioning Metaroom as a foundational digital transformation tool for anyone who needs accurate spatial data about the built environment.
