New with Dot3D 5.3 & up: The DP v3 Point Cloud Format



How can the highly compressed, ultra-fast DP file format get even better? Make it streamable! The new DP v3 point cloud format will now load truly instantly into Dot3D 5.3 & up, for even your largest scans.

Please keep in mind that Dot3D version 5.3+ is also required for viewing DP v3 files, so make sure to update all your devices, and if you're bringing your .DP scans into third party applications outside Dot3D, make sure to continue to utilize "DP compatibility mode".
