Pointfuse
Converting point clouds into intelligent mesh models.
Overview
Pointfuse is a powerful point cloud processing software that automatically converts the millions of individual points in a point cloud into usable, segmented 3D mesh models. This process significantly reduces the file size and makes the data easier to work with in downstream design and BIM software, classifying surfaces like walls, floors, and windows.
✨ Key Features
- Automated point cloud to mesh conversion
- Automatic surface classification (walls, floors, roofs, etc.)
- Vectorization of features for 2D and 3D CAD
- Significant data size reduction
- Direct export to IFC and other BIM formats
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Unique and powerful mesh-based approach instead of direct point cloud handling.
- High level of automation in classifying surfaces.
- Creates lightweight, easy-to-handle models.
Unique Value: Automates the time-consuming process of converting dense point clouds into lightweight, intelligent models, making as-built data more accessible and usable for BIM workflows.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Rapidly creating a lightweight, intelligent 3D model of a building for import into Revit.
- Classifying and extracting floor plans from a complex point cloud.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- High-precision surveying requiring direct point manipulation.
- Photogrammetry processing (it consumes point clouds, doesn't create them from photos).
🏆 Alternatives
Offers a fundamentally different and often faster workflow by creating meshes instead of requiring users to model directly on top of points.
