A fully integrated suite of tools for all your point cloud needs

Stitch3D File Management

Point Cloud Data Storage

Gone are the days of spending hours upon hours loading large point clouds to DropBox or Google Drive, only to be met with "file type unsupported" when a client attempts to view those files. With Stitch3D, you no longer have to worry about storing data on hard drives that can be easily misplaced or host LIDAR files on 3D incompatible data platforms. Finally - a data solution that actually works for 3D.

Secure 3D File Sharing

Everyone likes easy, and this is especially true when it comes to showing off your point clouds. Simply send your data over email or copy the quick link and post to your favorite social media sites. Control viewing and downloading permissions, turn off the public link at any time, and scale your storage whenever you have new projects. With instantaneous and secure access to 3D visualizations from anywhere and on any device, you'll never have to ship another hard drive again.

Stitch3D Viewer

Interactive 3D Viewer

The real power of 3D is being able to communicate insights derived from the data visualization. Whether you're on-boarding a new client for the first time or communicating within a project, our innovative real-time multiplayer 3D viewer will let you markup, annotate, and add comments to your point clouds with up to 50 other users for a truly collaborative 3D experience.

Georeferenced Mapping

Layer your georeferenced point cloud on a 3D satellite or street base map to give your data full context. Stitch3D automatically detects your point cloud's coordinate reference system (CRS) projection and aligns your data with accurate map coordinates.

Coming Soon: Re-project your point cloud directly with Stitch3D!

Stitch3D Stockpile

Stockpile Volumetrics

One of the most useful analytics you can pull from 3D data is volume information. With LIDAR, that analysis can be highly accurate. Whether you're tracking the tonnage of material excavated from a mine or the amount of cargo loaded onto a bulk carrier container ship, a quick LIDAR scan and Stitch3D's volume tool can let you accurately forecast material revenue (or cost).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LIDAR?
The first LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system was developed by the Hughes Aircraft Company in 1961 under the direction of Malcolm Stitch (for whom Stitch3D is named after!). Back then, the U.S. military used LIDAR to map and detect missiles hidden in the Cuban jungle during the Cold War. Today, LIDAR is used in autonomous vehicles, 3D mapping and surveying, archaeology, robotics, augmented reality, and so much more. In fact, LIDAR now comes standard on the latest iPhone and iPad Pros, giving everyone the ability to scan in 3D.
What is a Point Cloud?
A point cloud is a collection of millions of discrete points, each with its own x, y, and z coordinate values that together form a digital representation of a 3D scene. There are several ways to capture point cloud data but the most common are LIDAR and photogrammetry. With LIDAR, laser beams are pulsed at an object's surface and each return is recorded as a point in 3D space. With photogrammetry, the 3D surface can be deconstructed to view the underlying pixels that form the point cloud. The cool thing about point clouds is that you can embed additional information in each point, such as color, GPS coordinates, and even temperature, making point clouds the foundational data structure for digital twins.
How do I use Stitch3D?
Stitch3D is a browser-based 3D data platform that lets you easily host, manage, visualize, process, and share point cloud files of any size or format. Simply upload your point clouds (LAS/LAZ, E57, PLY, etc.) to Stitch3D and use our powerful web visualizer to navigate. Unlike other data management solutions such as Google Drive and DropBox, Stitch3D provides instant access to view and analyze your point clouds. Take advantage of analytical tools such as 3D mapping, area and volume measurements, and topographic analysis for a fully integrated experience. Lastly, invite your team to collaborate in real time or publish your 3D viewer for anyone to view or download.
Who are we?
Stitch3D is on a mission to make point cloud data easy and accessible for everyone. We are a team of Army veterans, software developers, and 3D geospatial engineers who believes in the power of 3D visualization to advance the world for good, whether it be for measuring deforestation, zoning flood plains, or assessing coastal erosion. Stitch3D empowers surveyors, engineers, architects, law enforcement officers, and even national security professionals to extract point cloud intelligence and collaborate with anyone in real time.
