3D modelling

From the point cloud to a 3D model - the modelling process

In the point cloud we create CAD objects. We have developed a high level of competency in using Leica Cyclone 5.x for this process. We can create a CAD model based on each object within a few millimetres of accuracy. This accuracy is somewhat dependant on the object to be modelled, but is generally within +/- 2 mm.

The CAD model can then be exported to AutoCAD, Microstation, PDS or PDMS, depending on our customer’s requirements. The model contains representations of all the objects in the defined scan volume. The objects may be highly detailed presentations, less detailed or in some cases it is more appropriate to present the volume with a box stating "this is occupied". The level of detail determines how long it takes to establish a model.

Capnor has its own department of engineers who work full time with modelling of point clouds. The models are custom made and differ from project to project. Should the customer at a later date require more information / more details, the point cloud contains enough information for us to review and enhance the detailing.
