PITTSBURGH - Quantapoint, a provider of laser scanning technology and services that helps companies achieve Zero-Defect Projects™ -- announced that beta testing will begin next week for PRISM 3D / QuantaCAD 10.0. PRISM 3D enables a Digitized Facility™ of 3D laser scan data to be accessed directly as high-definition Laser Models™ (not fuzzy "point clouds") and photo-realistic Laser Images™. QuantaCAD enables the same Digitized Facility™ to be accessed directly within design and review software such as Autodesk AutoCAD, AVEVA PDMS, AVEVA Review, Bentley AutoPlant, Bentley Microstation V8XM, Intergraph PDS, Intergraph SmartPlant Review and more.
The theme for the PRISM 3D / QuantaCAD 10.0 release is "improving design effectiveness and collaboration". Some of the major capabilities include:
-- Multi-user Database: Share measurements across the team via a multi-
user database to ensure consistent information and easier interactions.
-- Measurement Manager: Store and display multiple measurements on screen
to intuitively emphasize desired information.
-- SmartPlant 3D / SmartMarine 3D Integration: Access Laser Models and
Laser Images in SmartPlant and SmartMarine 3D, providing clear information
for design.
-- Laser Image Highlighting: Demolitions or clashes may be highlighted in
Laser Images to provide a photo-realistic view of areas requiring
modification.
-- One-Click Pipe Estimator: Estimate pipe information with a single-
click in Laser Images or Laser Models for faster designs.
-- Extruded Pipe Estimator: Estimate pipe information by selecting the
extents to be used in Laser Images or Laser Models for more precise
designs.
-- State Manager: Store and recall laser data (Laser Models, Laser Images
and views) to focus on areas or interest and more quickly resume work.
-- Embedded Laser Images: Use Laser Images directly for reviews to
provide a photo-realistic view of the 3D design that is more easily
understood across the team.
-- Export "Optimized Point Cloud": Export Laser Model areas as "Optimized
Point Clouds" (more dense and clear than fuzzy "point clouds") in formats
compatible with NavisWorks.
