Point cloud data integration

September 3, 2010

Autodesk Inc. and Faro Technologies Inc. have collaborated to add direct integration of point cloud data to AutoCAD® 2011 software. The software allows the direct import of binary scan data from Faro Scene, the scan processing software for the company’s laser scanner.

The software supports up to 2 billion points, which can be used with the enhanced tools for 3-D modeling to enable high-performance usage of the scan data.

Data collected by the laser scanner goes directly into the software, eliminating the need for a neutral space-consuming file format.
