Now Supporting the Trimble DA2 GNSS Receiver

Today we're very glad to formally announce the release of support for the Trimble DA2 high-accuracy GNSS receiver in Dot3D 6.0. By pairing this powerful hardware with the latest Dot3D (Prime) software, users are now able to leverage real-time GNSS/RTK trajectories while scanning in Dot3D. This GNSS information is then intelligently applied to Dot3D's optimization, automatically improving accuracy for large-scale outdoor scans without survey control, and adding automatic geo-referencing options to all outdoor scans. The Dot3D + DA2 kit shown above is currently available in central Europe from our partners at Laserscanning Europe. For additional purchasing options, please contact us.
More Info from Laserscanning Europe
Dot3D Prime will also be adding support for other third party high-accuracy GNSS systems in the near future. Please stay tuned for updates soon.

Introducing Dot3D Prime

Picture
So, what is this "Dot3D Prime" we keep talking about anyway? Well, we also have some important name changes to make you aware of. Please see below:
  1. "Dot3D Pro for iOS" is now Dot3D Pro (remains iOS only)
  2. "Dot3D Pro" is now Dot3D Prime (now available for all 3 platforms)
We apologize for any initial confusion, but do expect this change to simplify the Dot3D product mix moving forward. Dot3D Pro is now the standard package for embedded cameras (iOS) and Dot3D Prime is the all-encompassing package for users working with external 3D cameras or external GNSS hardware.

Ranking Dot3D: 16 Best 3D Scanner Apps

11/22/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
It's sure great to see Dot3D ranking so highly in this recent article on "Best 3D Scanner Apps (Android & iPhone): 16 Apps We Love". Very well put too:

"Dot3D is a robust 3D scanning app that yields...highly accurate, color 3D point cloud data – so accurate that precise measurements can be captured and saved. Internet connectivity isn’t required, as all processing is done on the device. While the list of features is impressive, we were really taken by just how large scans can be (see image above). This is a definite plus for professional applications such as forensic investigation, construction, and archaeology, among others." Agreed! Thanks ALL3DP!
