Unified 3D Drone Digital Twin & Videoscope Optical Lab
Turn drone LiDAR point clouds and photogrammetry scans (.obj, .glb, .ply) into interactive 3D twins, perform ASME Sec V Art 9 borescope optical measurements, and validate OSHA 1910.146 4-Gas confined space clearances.
3D Asset Twin & Photogrammetry LiDAR Canvas
Interactive 3D viewer running directly in your browser. Rotate, zoom, slice, and pin spatial UT thickness readings.
Drone Photogrammetry Storage & Twin Add-Ons
Expand your cloud vault for large drone LiDAR datasets and enable client 3D deliverable links.
How NDT & Drone Reports Work with the 3D Interactive Viewer
Traditional NDT inspections deliver static 80–120 page PDF photo dumps where engineers struggle to pinpoint exactly where corrosion pits or cracks exist on complex geometry. NDT Exchange bridges the gap between field LiDAR/RVI scans and client deliverables.
Drone Flight & Mesh Ingest
Drones (Flyability Elios 3, Skydio X10, DJI M350) capture indoor/outdoor photogrammetry and raw LiDAR point clouds, exported as lightweight .obj or .glb meshes.
Spatial Telemetry Pinning
Inspectors click directly on the 3D surface mesh to drop spatial defect pins with exact (X, Y, Z)coordinates, attaching UT thickness readings, thermal hotspot °C, or visual crack depths.
Sub-mm Web Measurement
Asset owners and plant engineers open the model in any browser without AutoCAD or heavy software. They measure crack lengths, verify nozzle clearances, and cut elevation cross-sections in real time.
Hybrid Deliverable & QR Code
Generates an authenticated, white-labeled client URL plus an ASNT / API 510 compliant PDF report with an embedded 3D QR code that instantly opens the exact anomaly in 3D for auditors.
