Quantapoint, Inc. is a technology and services company that develops and uses patented [13] 3D laser scanning hardware [14] and software. [15] Quantapoint creates a Digital Facility [4] using 3D laser scanning and then provides visualization, analysis, quality control, decision support and documentation services [16] for buildings, museums, refineries, chemical plants, nuclear and fossil-fuel power plants, offshore platforms and other structures. [17]
Quantapoint was founded as K2T, Inc [1] (or K2T) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1991 by Eric Hoffman, [3] Pradeep Khosla, Takeo Kanade and other Carnegie Mellon University faculty members. K2T focused on creating custom robotics and 3D range-finding imaging systems to help them navigate complex environments. The most notable are the laser range-finding system created in 1992 for the DANTE walking robot that explored Mount Erebus in Antarctica as part of a NASA sponsored competition [18] and the 360-degree phase-based 3D laser scanner named SceneModeler created in 1997. [19]
The company name was changed to Quantapoint in 1999 to reflect the focus on 3D laser scanning hardware, software and services. [19]
Initially, Quantapoint focused on using 3D laser scanning to "digitize" buildings and create 2D drawings, 3D models and/or other animations or visualizations for renovations, additions or historic preservation. Notable projects include the Museum of Modern Art, [19] the Theban Mapping Project in the Valley of the Kings, [20] Monticello [21] and the Guggenheim Museum. [22]
Since 2002, Quantapoint has served the chemical, petroleum and power industries [17] both globally and within the United States. Quantapoint has also worked with the United States General Services Administration (GSA). [23]
Quantapoint has received several patents [13] and awards [24] for the 3D laser scanner hardware and 3D laser scanning data software that it has developed.
Quantapoint uses both its own 3D laser scanner hardware, the SceneModeler 5 and SceneModeler 9, [14] and the Photon from Faro Systems. [25] Quantapoint has a fleet of more than twenty (20) 3D laser scanners. [26]
The Quantapoint Digital Facility consists of the following: [4]
Quantapoint provides the following software for using the 3D laser scanning data in the Digital Facility:
Quantapoint has alliances or software development relationships to integrate laser data with software from Autodesk, AVEVA, Bentley Systems and Intergraph. [29]
Quantapoint has locations within the United States ( Pittsburgh, Houston, Los Angeles), England, Scotland and Nigeria. Quantapoint also uses representatives in various countries, such as Mexico, Venezuela, South Africa, Malaysia and Brazil. [30]
Quantapoint has been issued the following patents in the United States and has filed for similar patents in the EU, Canada and Japan: [31]
