Optimize 3D scans with RapidPipeline

3D scanned data is becoming more and more commonplace for many exciting 3D applications, allowing it to represent real-world objects and scenes in digital worlds.

This includes, for example:

• Laser Scanning / LIDAR
• Structured Light Scanning
• Photogrammetry

Often, 3D scans are very detailed. This can be a problem with interactive 3D applications, as it might cause long loading times and low framerates. Reducing such datasets by hand, with good visual quality, is a tedious task and requires expertise - so, what to do?

RapidPipeline to the rescue! Luckily, with more than a decade of experience optimizing 3D scanned data, the RapidPipeline software can be used to conveniently get your 3D scanned data ready for all kinds of applications, using simple presets for common targets (such as Apple Vision Pro, Web-based and mobile AR, and more). You can also create your own presets with just a few clicks - and the best is, you can try it out for free.

The showcase model was created from laser scanning of a pump, running at a sewer treatment plant, and provided as part of the public E57 data examples. It was meshed, then it was optimized for real-time display with RapidPipeline. The slider below shows this pump scan before and after optimization, which took only 20 seconds!
