Primary capability

Scan-to-BIM for operational environments

Our pointcloud-to-CAD work converts observed spaces into organized building geometry. The current pipeline reconstructs structural elements, openings, surface information, and MEP geometry for review and downstream modeling.

  1. Capture

    Point-cloud data

    Start with captured XYZ point data from common point-cloud file formats, with colour where available.

  2. Understand

    Structure and systems

    Reconstruct floors, walls, door openings, surfaces, and pipe systems from the observed geometry.

  3. Apply

    Structured 3D model

    Carry organized building geometry into planning, training, simulation, and continued CAD/BIM work.

Current technical scope

  • Multi-floor structure
  • Doorway analysis
  • Surface & texture reconstruction
  • MEP pipe segmentation & fitting

Applications

Digitize the environments that already exist

Structured geometry from captured spaces can support teams that need a usable spatial reference instead of a raw scan alone.

Facility digitization

Organize scanned building structure into floors, walls, openings, surfaces, and other modeled elements.

Planning & rehearsal

Use reconstructed environments as spatial context for walkthroughs, planning, and mission-rehearsal workflows.

MEP reconstruction

Identify pipe points, group physical pipe instances, and fit clean cylinder and elbow geometry.

Technology & deployment

A modular spatial-processing stack

Designed to turn captured or generated inputs into usable 3D environments, with each reconstruction stage inspectable on its own.

Structured geometry

Separate reconstruction stages produce inspectable building elements rather than leaving teams with only raw points.

Modular processing

Structure, openings, surface information, and MEP geometry are handled as distinct but connected workflows.

Deployment options

Private deployment options with encryption in transit and at rest, and role-based access control.
