Compare the Top Point Cloud Processing Software in the UK as of December 2025

What is Point Cloud Processing Software in the UK?

Point cloud processing software is designed to manipulate, analyze, and visualize 3D data captured by various scanning technologies such as LiDAR or photogrammetry. It enables users to process large sets of spatial data points into accurate 3D models, which can be used in fields like architecture, engineering, construction, and environmental monitoring. Key features often include noise reduction, data segmentation, feature extraction, and mesh generation to create usable surfaces from raw point clouds. The software may also provide tools for registering multiple point clouds together into a unified coordinate system or for aligning them with existing CAD models. Ultimately, point cloud processing software helps convert raw spatial data into actionable insights, aiding in design, planning, and decision-making processes.

    GOM Inspect
    GOM Inspect is a software for analyzing 3D measuring data from fringe projection or laser scanners, coordinate measurement machines (CMM) and other measuring systems. The GOM software is used in product development, quality control and production. Import of CAD data, measurement plans and 3D point clouds, creation and editing of polygon meshes. Alignment of measuring data to nominal data, dimensional analysis (2D, 3D, GD&T, SPC) and creation of measuring reports. GOM Inspect is a free viewer for 3D scan data, measuring reports and CAD data. If the CAD or single elements change, the measurement positions are automatically updated with “Smart Teach”. If a defect is detected by several tools, the found defects can be merged into one representation. With a new module, sheet metal and injection-molded parts can be virtually clamped and thus measured without complex clamping devices.

    Sony 3D Creator
    The 3D Creator is an app that allows you to scan objects in 3D. The latest version offers five different scan modes, selfie scan, face scan, head scan, food scan and freeform scan. The 3D Creator is preinstalled in the Xperia 1, Xperia XZ1, Xperia XZ1 Compact, Xperia XZ2, Xperia XZ2 Compact, Xperia XZ2 Premium, and Xperia XZ3. The Xperia XZ Premium receives the 3D Creator as part of the Android 8.0 (Oreo) update. The first part of the scanning process is the calibration. The camera takes images as you circulate slowly around the object and an algorithm looks for characteristics that stand out in the images. Based on the camera orientation and captured images a point cloud is created. The point cloud is quite rough and has no color. Based on the point cloud information a mesh is created. The mesh is, simply put, a group of 3D points called vertices. Using the points from the point cloud the algorithm sculpts the mesh allowing it to shape itself after the scanned object.

    ContextCapture

    ContextCapture

    Bentley Systems

    Create 3D models from simple photographs and/or point clouds. Reality modeling is the process of capturing the physical reality of an infrastructure asset, creating a representation of it, and maintaining it through continuous surveys. Bentley's reality modeling software, ContextCapture, provides you with real-world digital context in the form of a 3D reality mesh. A reality mesh is a 3D model of real-world conditions that contains large amounts of triangles and image data. Each digital component can be automatically recognized and/or geospatially referenced, providing you with an intuitive and immersive way to navigate, find, view, and query your asset information. You can use reality meshes in many engineering, maintenance, or GIS workflows to provide precise real-world digital context for design, construction, and operations decisions.
