The launch of PointStudio 8 from Maptek heralds a new name, platform and ribbon interface to the long-standing point cloud processing and modeling software. PointStudio 8 is the logical progression from I-Site Studio. The new generation 3D platform for modeling, analysis and reporting is delivered on the Maptek Workbench, which unlocks data sharing with other Maptek applications. ‘Customer needs were the key mindset behind the PointStudio release,’ said Product Manager for Mine Measurement, James Howarth. ‘A modern ribbon interface improves usability and means faster uptake for new users.’ One of the benefits of moving to the Workbench is access to the Workflow Editor for building interactive command sequences. PointStudio users can link workflow components to data and easily run automations in context. ‘It’s not only surveyors who realise the value of advanced spatial measurement systems. Geologists, mining engineers and geotechnical engineers understand that accurate spatial data is crucial to a mine’s success.’ commented Howarth. www.maptek.com
