Built for AEC, robotics, and survey teams. Run deviation analysis, volume calculations, and export PDF reports without any desktop software.
A full point cloud toolset that runs in your browser. No installs required.
Load any point cloud and explore it immediately. Orbit, pan, and zoom with your mouse. Colors, depth, and point size all work exactly as you would expect.
Load multiple clouds side by side. Each cloud gets its own color, opacity, visibility, and point size so you can isolate differences at a glance.
Compare two clouds and see where they agree or diverge as a color map. Green means geometry matches, red means it does not. Normalized to the 95th percentile so outliers do not wash out the result.
Move, rotate, or scale any cloud while watching the changes happen live. Per-axis controls let you dial in exact values at any coordinate scale.
Bring a dense cloud down to size without losing the shape. Spatial grid filtering keeps the geometry intact while cutting the point count significantly.
Place marker pins anywhere in 3D space and label them. Click any annotation in the panel to fly the camera directly to it.
See the full 4×4 homogeneous transformation matrix update live as you move or rotate a cloud. Click any cell to type in an exact value and the transform controls update to match.
Save your work as PCD, PLY, or LAS with all transforms baked in. Export individual clouds or merge them all into one file.
Large files start rendering within seconds — points appear as they stream from storage rather than waiting for a full download to complete.
Save your project to the cloud. Display settings, per-cloud configuration, and annotations all persist between sessions.
Upload your design model and your site scan. Get a deviation heatmap and a PDF progress report in minutes. No desktop software required.
Load .pcd files straight from your ROS bag exports or sensor captures. Check the geometry, strip out the noise, and export a clean cloud ready for your SLAM or perception pipeline.
Load your as-built scan next to the design model and see where reality diverged from the plan. Align scans from different sessions and export the result back into your BIM workflow.
Pull up a frame from your automotive LiDAR, annotate what you are looking at, and compare the raw scan against a processed version. Tweak settings and see the result right away.
Open .ply files from your photogrammetry or structured light scanner. Downsample the dense capture to something workable and export it in whatever format your modeling software expects.
We spent years working with LiDAR and point cloud data at robotics and automation companies. The hardware was impressive. The software workflow was not.
Every time we needed to quickly inspect a scan, check alignment, or validate a capture against a reference model, we were reaching for a desktop app that took two minutes to load, required a specific OS, and crashed if the file was too big. Half the time we were writing one-off Python scripts just to answer a simple question about a cloud.
It was tedious in a way that felt completely unnecessary. The core operations are not that complex. The data is just numbers. There was no reason this couldn't run in a browser.
So we built Point Cloud Forge. It started as an internal tool and turned into something we use every week. No install, no licensing, no waiting. Just open it and look at your data.
