Polyga PointKit
Vancouver, Canada
What it is
Polyga PointKit provides tools for processing, scanning, analyzing, and sharing 3D point cloud and mesh data. PointKit Scan is a Windows application for importing, aligning, cleaning, decimating, remeshing, inspecting, and preparing scan data. Alignment works with two or more selected meshes when their captured data overlaps sufficiently. A finalization tool can merge aligned scans into one mesh and apply further post-processing, while a lasso tool selects and deletes mesh sections. Supported sources include desktop and laser scanners, 3D cameras, photogrammetry, LiDAR, and other 3D capture devices. Listed export formats include PLY, STL, OBJ, PBN, ASC, E57, LAS, and LAZ. PointKit Scan includes controls for connecting scanners and sharing data with PointKit View. The offering also includes a cross-platform web viewer, SDK, API access, and real-time capture. Polyga is based in Vancouver and was founded in 2016. PointKit has a free plan and trial; Premium costs $99 a month for one active license and includes XTract3D 2 and PointKit.
