What kind of 3D Data is suitable for bVildR?

At a time when 3D-data is becoming a cornerstone for industries like engineering, manufacturing, and infrastructure, the ability to visualize and interact with high-fidelity data is crucial. bVildR is designed to work with a wide range of 3D-data sources, offering unparalleled performance for various applications. This article explores the types of 3D data most suitable for bVildR and how they can be leveraged to solve industry challenges.

Ideal 3D Data Sources for bVildR

bVildR is built to handle several 3D data formats, with more capability being added with each new release, with a focus on high-reliability, high-resolution models. Below are the most suitable 3D data sources that can be effectively visualized and managed within the platform:

1. CAD Models

CAD (Computer-Aided Design) models are widely used across engineering, architecture, and manufacturing. bVildR can handle highly detailed CAD models in formats like FBX, OBJ, GLTF2, STL and 3MF, allowing stakeholders to visualize complex designs in real-time.

  • Applications: Engineering design reviews, prototyping, and product lifecycle management.
  • Benefits: Seamless visualisation of intricate components, enhancing collaboration across design and manufacturing teams.

2. Point Cloud Data

Point cloud data, generated from laser scanning or LiDAR, is essential for industries dealing with infrastructure, surveying, and asset management. bVildR can handle point clouds in PLY formats and processed meshes in OBJ, FBX, GLTF2 and STL formats.

  • Applications: Surveying, infrastructure monitoring, and asset inspection.
  • Benefits: Enables the creation of accurate 3D models for real-time monitoring and maintenance planning.

3. Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry, the process of creating 3D models from 2D images, is another data type bVildR excels at visualizing. This method is widely used in industries like archaeology, construction, and environmental monitoring. Processed images can be converted to mesh and imported into bVildR in any of the formats mentioned above.

  • Applications: Site inspections, construction planning, and digital archiving.
  • Benefits: High-resolution, photorealistic models that capture intricate details for better situational analysis.
