ARCHITECTURE & POINTCAB ORIGINS

Working with laser scanning data is becoming increasingly important in architecture.
Many architects are already using the possibilities of digital reality capture to their advantage – e.g. for planning and visualization.

The so-called digital twin technology is creating an exact digital copy from existing objects and structures. This way, possible errors or problems can be identified digitally before construction begins. This lays the foundation for even more accurate and cost-saving architecture.
Here you can see how PointCab Origins enables you to create a digital twin quickly and easily.

THE 3 STEPS OF THE DIGITAL TWIN

PLANNING

A uniform and comprehensive database serves as a planning basis for all parties involved.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING

Simple and fast creation of a three-dimensional building model based on point cloud data from laser scanners.

DOCUMENTATION

Fast, complete, and accurate digital documentation of
of existing buildings.
