What it is

Polyga PointKit is a toolset for processing, scanning, analyzing, and sharing 3D point-cloud and mesh data. PointKit Scan runs on Windows and prepares scan data by importing, aligning, cleaning, decimating, remeshing, inspecting, and exporting it. Alignment works on two or more selected meshes when their captured areas overlap sufficiently. After alignment, a finalization tool can combine scans into one mesh and apply additional processing. A lasso tool selects and deletes mesh sections. Supported capture sources include desktop and laser scanners, 3D cameras, photogrammetry, LiDAR, and other 3D devices. Exports include PLY, STL, OBJ, PBN, ASC, E57, LAS, and LAZ. PointKit Scan includes controls for connecting scanners and sharing data with PointKit View. The offering also lists a cross-platform web viewer, SDK, API access, mesh reconstruction, point-cloud tools, and real-time capture. PointKit is freemium, with a free plan and trial. Premium costs $99 a month for one active license and includes XTract3D 2 and PointKit.
