Updates for DotProduct

Dot3D 6.0 - The new dimension of pointcloud processing

The Dot3D 6.0 software is the perfect solution for extracting 3D data from complex point clouds quickly and reliably. Whether for architecture, construction or the manufacturing industry - Dot3D 6.0 makes working with point clouds more efficient than ever before. The new version Dot3D 6.0 brings some significant improvements and new features compared to previous versions, making the software faster, more efficient and more versatile.

1. Extended compatibility and functions:

• Dot3D 6.0 now supports the Trimble DA2 GNSS receiver. This enables more precise real-time navigation while scans are being performed. This is particularly beneficial for large-scale outdoor scans as it improves accuracy without the need for additional survey points and automatically geo-references the data.

2. Extended geo-referencing options:

• Neben der GNSS-Integration können Benutzer nun auch GPS-Daten von Mobilgeräten direkt in den Scan einbinden, um Scans näher an realen Koordinaten auszurichten. Dies ist besonders praktisch für mobile Anwender ohne externe Hardware

3. 3-point option for coordinate systems:

• This function makes it possible to define a new coordinate system directly in the software by selecting three reference points in space. These points determine the original position and the orientation of the axes. This is particularly useful when a precise reference to an existing physical or virtual layout needs to be established.

4. Fine-tuned for user-friendliness:

• Settings for GNSS and geo-referencing have been simplified to make operation more accessible for less tech-savvy users. There have also been improvements to the performance and stability of the software.

5. Further beta functions are:

• Filling volume tool for calculating material quantities for filling holes (Beta)
• 2D drawing function for easy sketching and exporting to DXF (Alpha)

Dot3D Prime - Updates

Dot3D Pro becomes Dot3D Prime

Dot3D Pro is now the standard package for iOS products (with LiDAR) and Dot3D Prime is the comprehensive package for users working with external 3D cameras or external GNSS hardware.
The latest version of Dot3D Prime offers several significant improvements compared to previous versions. The most important new features include:

1. Cross-platform support: Dot3D Prime offers full compatibility with all supported platforms, including Windows, Android and iOS. This allows for more flexible use of the software on a variety of devices, including tablets and smartphones.
2. Enhanced accuracy and ease of use: The software offers improved real-time processing, which increases efficiency when creating 3D scans. This optimisation is particularly useful for processing large data sets and providing results quickly.
3. New annotation and export functions: Users can now make precise scan annotations with a crosshair and export them in standardised formats such as JSON, CSV or TXT. This makes it much easier to integrate data into other systems.
4. Optimisation of file management: Additional protection mechanisms have been introduced, such as the backup of autosave files, to prevent data loss. This is particularly useful in demanding projects where data security is of central importance.
5. Integration with other software solutions: A more direct connection to CAD/BIM and 2D floor plan conversion services is now available. These features make Dot3D Prime more versatile for use in construction, architecture and other industrial applications.
6. Actual-target comparison: It is now possible to import target data in *.obj format into Dot3D, align the scanned data with this target data and carry out a rough comparison. The scanned data adopts the alignment of the target data and can then be exported in the correct position and in the appropriate coordinate system.
