Dot3D PRIME 3D Scanning

Dot3D Prime — Comprehensive 3D Scanning with RTK Accuracy

Dot3D Prime is a professional mobile 3D scanning solution that turns compatible smartphones, tablets, and external depth cameras into high-accuracy reality capture tools. Designed for field professionals, it combines fast LiDAR or stereo capture with optional RTK positioning to deliver spatially accurate 3D models for surveying, construction verification, asset documentation, and as-built capture.

Unlike traditional photogrammetry workflows that require heavy processing after capture, Dot3D Prime produces usable 3D data directly in the field—reducing time between capture and decision-making.

What It Does

Dot3D Prime captures real-world environments as dense 3D point clouds using:

• Built-in LiDAR (iOS devices)

• External depth cameras (Windows / Android workflows)

• RGB imagery for texture and detail

• Optional RTK GNSS integration for survey-grade georeferencing

The result is a spatially accurate digital replica of the environment that can be exported to CAD, GIS, and modeling platforms.

Workflow Overview

1. Setup & Positioning

• Connect your device (iOS, Android, or Windows)

• Pair external depth camera if required

• Connect RTK GNSS receiver (optional but recommended for survey-grade accuracy)

• Define project coordinate system (if using RTK)

2. Field Capture

• Walk the site while scanning

• Real-time visualization of point cloud as you move

• System continuously aligns spatial data using SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)

• RTK adds absolute positioning for geospatial accuracy

3. Data Processing (On-device or Edge)

• Automatic point cloud generation

• Noise reduction and alignment refinement

• Optional real-time stitching of scan segments

• No need for long off-site processing in most workflows

4. Review & Measurement

• Measure distances, surfaces, and volumes directly in the model

• Validate progress against design intent or prior scans

• Identify clashes, deviations, or missing elements

5. Export & Integration

• Export as standard formats (LAS, PLY, E57, OBJ depending on setup)

• Import into:

  • CAD platforms

  • Civil design tools

  • GIS systems

  • BIM workflows

• Share models with office teams or stakeholders

Key Benefits

• Fast site capture (minutes instead of hours)

• Works with consumer and professional hardware

• RTK-enabled accuracy for survey-grade workflows

• Real-time visualization in the field

• Reduces reliance on traditional scanning equipment
