Acute3D is Bentley's latest acquisition

Editorial Type: News     Date: 03-2015    Views: 3596      





Bentley Systems has been on the acquisition trail again (see CAD User, Jan-Feb 2015, page 6), adding France-based Acute3, provider of Smart3DCapture software for reality modelling, to its stable

Through reality modelling, observations of existing conditions are processed into representations for contextual alignment within design modelling and construction modelling environments.

Acute3D software automates the generation of high-resolution, fully-3D representations from digital photographs taken with any camera, whether highly specialised or embedded in a smartphone.

Bentley Systems founder and CTO Keith Bentley commented: "The world-class Acute3D developers have already achieved two breakthroughs, which remove the barriers to the adoption of reality modelling. First, Acute3D has made it possible for anyone to sufficiently capture existing conditions with just a camera. Of equal importance is the value of the Acute3D result. Rather than a voluminous cloud of discrete points, Acute3D produces a 3D 'reality mesh' - intrinsically in the same geometric idiom as engineering models, readily aligning the real-world context."
