Pointfuse

Pointfuse bridges the gap between reality capture and digital construction. It automatically converts point cloud data from laser scanners or photogrammetry into intelligent as-built mesh models that can be classified and used in any industry BIM, CAD or CAFM system. Pointfuse has been designed with a focus on ease of use, resulting in a deskilling and streamlining of workflows, which also contributes to a reduction in project overheads. Whether producing visualizations for stakeholder engagement, running coordination against as-built conditions or producing LOD200 BIM for space and facility management, Pointfuse flexible toolset reduces time to delivery by around 70% compared to existing workflows. Pointfuse is unique in automatically segmenting the mesh into discrete, selectable surfaces, by identifying objects based on their geometry and assigning unique identifiers to them. Removing the human aspect of the modelling process eliminates a significant bottleneck, while also removing any chance of subjectivity, producing consistent, accurate results. This makes Pointfuse models repeatable and directly comparable - ideal characteristics for accurate project validation. These models, which are highly optimised, reduce the size of working data by a factor of up to 100. This ensures that the ongoing use of the model is accessible for all working on the project, across most devices.
