lasermodeller

Lasermodeller is a software application designed for creating and manipulating 3D models derived from laser scan data. Typically, users employ laser scanners to capture the geometry of real-world objects or environments, resulting in a dense point cloud. Lasermodeller then processes this point cloud, enabling users to reconstruct surfaces, extract features, and generate clean, parametric CAD models.

The software is commonly utilized in industries such as manufacturing, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). For example, in manufacturing, it can be used to reverse engineer existing parts for modification or replication. In AEC, it facilitates as-built documentation, renovation planning, and clash detection by accurately representing existing structures.

Key functionalities of Lasermodeller often include tools for point cloud cleaning, segmentation, and meshing. Users can select specific areas of the point cloud, fit primitive shapes like planes, cylinders, and spheres, and then combine these to form a solid model. The software aims to bridge the gap between raw scan data and usable 3D design data, reducing the manual effort required in traditional modeling processes. It is often integrated with other CAD and design software, allowing for seamless data transfer and workflow.
