nanoCAD 3DScan

The sources of primary data for nanoCAD 3DScan are:

• three-dimensional laser scanning (LIDAR) data;
• various photogrammetric software and hardware systems for obtaining three-dimensional data;
• bathymetric surveying and other remote or contact methods providing three-dimensional point clouds as a result of the operation.

nanoCAD 3DScan is focused on solving engineering and information tasks using 3D scanning data in the following application areas:

• construction and operation of buildings engineering structures and networks, including search for collisions and author's supervision;
• creation of 2.5D drawings and plans, including topographic;
• machines and apparatus design;
• creation of three-dimensional simulation models;
• data entry into the GIS system database;
• emergency situations and ecological monitoring;
• transportation tasks modeling;
• execution of operational calculations, measurements, including tools for virtual surveying.

• LAS;
• BIN;
• PTX;
• PTS;
• PCD;
• XYZ.

In addition, nanoCAD 3DScan provides an advanced software API for creating custom applications based on nanoCAD 3DScan.

The main advantages of nanoCAD 3Dscan are:

• unique powerful software kernel;
• effective point clouds data processing up to 2.5 billion points;
• special methods for navigating through point clouds;
• dedicated tools for working with raw source data;
• full integration with the nanoCAD environment with ability of integration with 3rd party vertical applications.

nanoCAD 3DScan provides the following functionality:

• import of cloud points from popular exchange formats (LAS, BIN, PTS, PTX, PCD, XYZ);
• preprocessing: filtration based on different criteria;
• registration marks import from external sources;
• registration by marks and manual binding;
• quality control of point cloud registration;
• optimized data storage with meta-information (points classification , measurement parameters, scanned color), implemented with stochastic spatial trees technology;
• a wide range of visualization methods and the possibility of photorealistic mapping, variety display with multiple viewports support;
• construction of cross-sections, assigning of view areas, support for dynamic sections;
• integration of point clouds into the nanoCAD drawing environment;
• semi-automatic and manual data filtering;
• manual and semi-automatic classification tools;
• automatic identification of ground surface data;
• creation of triangulation models, including digital elevation model (DEM);
• semi-automatic and manual vectorization;
• measurements of lengths and areas;
• direct volumes calculation on point clouds data and project surfaces.
