Break the scan-to-model bottleneck: From months of processing to rapid digital twin creation

You can capture reality in hours, but converting those point clouds into usable models takes weeks or months. This bottleneck is killing digital twin velocity in AEC. Matt Gilkes and Ali Rashidikamjani from 3DCompound reveal how proprietary AI algorithms are shattering this barrier, enabling digital twins to be created and updated at unprecedented speed.

In the spirit of open collaboration, 3DCompound is sharing their engineering breakthroughs with the community, complete with real-world case studies and processed example datasets that demonstrate how automated point cloud processing is transforming AEC workflows.

What You'll Discover:

The Scan-to-Model Reality: Understand why point cloud conversion remains the critical bottleneck in digital twin development, and how this delay impacts project timelines, costs, and the viability of as-built digital twins.

AI-Powered Breakthrough: See how proprietary AI algorithms drastically reduce initial modelling time, turning days or months of manual processing into rapid automated workflows that maintain accuracy.

PointBase Platform Demonstration: Explore the single unified platform that streamlines point cloud processing with simplified workflows, making advanced automation accessible to AEC professionals.

Real-World Validation: Experience actual case studies with processed example datasets showing before-and-after comparisons of processing time, accuracy, and digital twin deployment speed.

Built on Engineering Excellence

Founded in 2013, 3DCompound brings over a decade of engineering expertise to AEC challenges, developing solutions that address real-world bottlenecks rather than theoretical problems.

Community Collaboration Opportunity

This isn't just a presentation - it's an invitation to engage. The team will share their progress transparently and actively seek feedback from the digital twin community to refine and improve their approach.

Why This Matters Now

As digital twin adoption accelerates in AEC, the ability to rapidly convert reality capture into accurate models becomes the determining factor between proof-of-concept projects and scaled operational deployments.

Perfect for AEC professionals, digital twin practitioners, reality capture specialists, BIM managers, construction technologists, infrastructure developers, and anyone struggling with point cloud to model conversion workflows.
