If You’re 3D Scanning, You’ll Want a Way To Work with Point Clouds
1 min read
Summary
Open-source software CloudCompare enables users to undertake various operations on point clouds, including generating 3D mesh models from scanned objects
As 3D scanning becomes more mainstream, users are looking at new ways of using the technology, such as combining and aligning different point clouds to check for deviations in scans or aligning 3D scans with wearable objects for tailoring
CloudCompare provides a flexible toolkit to work with point clouds directly, rather than relying on the 3D models generated by a scan, which can be useful for a range of applications.
It works well with other modelling software like Blender and offers a range of tutorials to help users understand how to use the software.
