Point Cloud Mesh
A point cloud mesh is a continuous surface of connected triangles generated from a point cloud, turning discrete points into a solid-looking 3D surface.
This is typically our Tier 1 Scan to Model output — a lightweight, decimated mesh suited to walkthroughs, presentations, and basic spatial reference rather than engineering-grade precision.
Where this is used
Frequently asked
What software do I need to open a Point Cloud Mesh deliverable?
Standard, widely supported software for that format — tell us what you use and we'll confirm compatibility before delivery.
Can Point Cloud Mesh be upgraded to a different deliverable later?
Often yes — because the underlying point cloud is kept as the source of truth, many deliverables (including Point Cloud Mesh) can be reprocessed into a different format later without a new site visit.
How is Point Cloud Mesh priced?
By site size/complexity and the specific tier or level involved — ask for a quote once you know roughly what you need from Point Cloud Mesh.
Is Point Cloud Mesh something every project needs, or only specific ones?
Only where it fits the project's actual use case — see the linked service page above for when Point Cloud Mesh is, and isn't, the right choice.
Where can I see a real example of Point Cloud Mesh?
Check the Projects page — several case studies reference the specific deliverable tier Point Cloud Mesh maps to.
