CAD-to-Point vs. Point-to-CAD

There is no competition between the two concepts!

+ extremely efficient+ high level of

automation

- long learning period- needs CAD interfaces- expensive

+ easy to understand+ good CAD interfaces+ cheap

- limitations in handling the point clouds

- needs AutoCAD


Idea of FARO Cloud FARO Cloud is the integration of

point clouds as custom entities in the AutoCAD environment.

The point cloud will be displayed in AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT and can be evaluated with all native AutoCAD commands.

Each point (X,Y,Z) of the point cloud can be snapped with the object-snap of AutoCAD.
