Description

Maximize the potential of your project data by incorporating point clouds, scalable digital terrain models, raster imagery, and historical documentation into your infrastructure processes. A broad spectrum of reality modeling tools is at your disposal to enhance productivity, ultimately leading to improved returns on investment. Bentley Descartes seamlessly merges your images with engineering workflows to elevate the quality of your projects significantly. The software simplifies the transition from point clouds to geometric representations, accelerating production timelines while maintaining engineering standards. Additionally, it allows for the creation of animations and renderings that can be utilized for impactful project presentations. Fully leverage your reality modeling data by integrating point clouds, reality meshes, scalable terrain models, and raster files into your infrastructure workflows. Furthermore, when dealing with infrastructure projects that necessitate the conversion of legacy documents, Descartes ensures that all imagery is effectively incorporated into your engineering processes, facilitating a smoother project execution.

Description

FARO Sphere XG, a cloud-based digital platform for digital reality, provides users with a centralized collaborative experience across all of the company's 3D modeling and reality capture applications. Sphere XG, when paired with Stream, enables faster 3D data collection, processing, and project management anywhere in the world. Sphere XG is a systematized tool that allows users to organize 3D scans, 360-degree photos and 3D models. It also allows them to manage data from different teams around the globe. Sphere XG allows you to view and share 3D point clouds, 360-degree photo documentation, and floorplans all in one place. You can also track the progress of your project over time. Ideal for 4D progress management, where the ability of comparing elements over time is crucial, project managers and VDC manager can better democratize the data and eliminate the necessity to use two platforms.
