Choosing user-friendly reality capture software for efficient workflows

Choosing user-friendly reality capture software for efficient workflows

Whether you’re a laser scanning provider, engineer, or consultant, converting reality capture data into accessible and workable files is pivotal to improving workflow efficiency. With Prevu3D’s streamlined approach, you can transform your data into a lighter and more manageable file format that eliminates the need for specialized hardware or technical expertise. This ensures that you can effectively use your data to deliver maximum value to the end users.

Prevu3D is solving laser scanning provider challenges

Many 3D scanning providers face common challenges when it comes to effectively managing and delivering 3D scanning data.

  • Lack of a centralized platform for efficiently managing and organizing 3D scanning data.
  • The time-consuming process of cleaning up point cloud data.
  • The complexity of the scan-to-BIM process and the need for improved accuracy and efficiency.
  • A desire for a device-agnostic delivery platform to seamlessly share scanned data with clients.
  • Focus on creating added value for customers beyond the core scanning service.
  • Need for advanced tools and capabilities to analyze 3D scanning data.

Prevu3D solves these challenges by centralizing reality capture data and providing a single platform for point cloud storage, enabling easy access and viewing in one place. Our software allows providers to automatically convert point cloud data into detailed mesh models, reducing the size by up to 95% for terrestrial scans. This simplifies browsing, viewing, and sharing of data without the need for specialized hardware. By improving project visualization, Prevu3D enhances collaboration among stakeholders and streamlines the overall 3D scanning workflow for providers.

Addressing Engineering, Procurement, and Construction pain points

EPC professionals face their own challenges when dealing with reality capture data. Similarly to laser scanning providers, one major issue is the lack of an effective platform to manage all the 3D scanning data, leading to disorganized workflows. Additionally, the point cloud cleaning process can be complex and time-consuming, hindering the rapid iteration of engineering design concepts and leading to longer planning times. The cumbersome size of point cloud data also makes it hard to visualize, and finding a device-agnostic delivery platform for customers can be difficult. To create more value for customers, professionals need better tools to analyze the output of 3D scanning data.

Prevu3D improves engineering design efficiency by addressing EPC’s pain points with user-friendly software and intuitive design engineering tools.
