It seems 3D modeling require at least 2~3 lenses and sensor but I also see some technology to create 3D modeling with just one sensor and lens. I wonder why not using only one sensor and lens instead of dual or triple cameras?

Yes, I do this when clients want a 3D lenticular print using one of their own images .The software that I use creates a depth map for the image and after you choose the number of images, it generates in-between views. I've gotten some great results 👍.

There are ways to simulate depth ( the actual word is parallax) from a flat image.  Proven by movie conversions but I cant say how it is done...fascination simulation though....The traditional and arguably the best most direct way is to duplicate a two eyed view by two sensored images. Image capture is another way, but in essence it gives multiple angles to re create the object. For us amateurs, the tried and true two eyed two lens two image method is pretty well proven. As shown by its history. Or, of course, there is holography, but that is another optical tour de force. Modeling, not sure exactly what is meant. 3-D can be achieved by other clues in a photo. Well known byRembrandt and Michelangelo. If you take my meaning.
