Pointscape turns a point-cloud scan into a deliverable on iPhone and iPad.

Cloud streaming and team workspaces are optional.

See it in action
From a multi-gigabyte terrestrial scan to a quick drone capture, Pointscape renders the full detail on the device you already carry to site.
Who it is for
Pointscape sits downstream of the scanner and alongside your desktop suite. It does not capture or register; it turns the registered scan into something a client can hold.
Open the registered E57 on site, answer the client's question with a measurement, and send the PDF from the car park instead of from the office tomorrow.
Give field staff without a desktop licence a way to see the scan, record a snag where it sits, and hand the coordinator a report they can act on.
Walk a client through the surveyor's scan on an iPad in the meeting, mark what changes, and leave with the findings already in a document.
