What else about nanoCAD 3DScan

nanoCAD Platform as a Base

nanoCAD is a professional-grade CAD platform fully compatible with the industry’s DWG standard. It offers the standard user interface with a wide set of tools for 2D/3D drafting that can be extended with modules specific to the needs of professionals in engineering, architecture, and construction.

3DScan expands the capabilities of the nanoCAD Platform by:

Simultaneously using ideal vector CAD models and unstructured real-world data;
Providing a hybrid representation of real-world data with annotations of ideal geometry;
Enhancing standard CAD geometry with semantics and parameters derived from the real world;
Enabling the creation of fully specific objects based on real-world information.

Advanced Technologies At the Core of nanoCAD 3DScan

The application of modern technologies provides users with hybrid access to data, allowing for the minimization of transformations. This means moving away from the paradigm of total vectorization as the foundation of 3D scanning data processing procedures, in favor of enhancing the value of the point cloud data itself. A systematic approach to data storage and processing enables effective integration of vector parametric CAD models, unstructured information about real-world objects, and regulatory and technical documentation. The paradigm of working with 3D scanning data enhances the value of primary measurement data, providing end-users with tools that allow them to work with this data as comfortably as with a parametric vector model.

Mathematical Methods at the Forefront of Requests

The foundation of nanoCAD 3DScan is built on fully automatic and automated algorithms that utilize methods of artificial intelligence, mathematical statistics, and computational geometry.

The parametric geometry recognized in this way forms the basis for a hybrid representation of:

Point Clouds
"Smart" constraints (constraints to geometry not present in the drawing, defined by parameters of parametric elements recognized in the cloud)
Dynamic user-defined coordinate systems (set by parameters of parametric elements recognized in the cloud)
Automatic generation of vector models
