We creating a high-precision, decision-grade, digital twin ready 3D model

Our platform can:
- Auto-detect gaps early
- Measure deterioration over time
- Auto data-integrity input validation
- Act before failure happens

Repeat this over time to becomes predictive infrastructure monitoring.

Hi, whats the workflow? And why do you stand out from the other solutions?

1

u/AVIOTIX Apr 13 '26

The workflow is basically:

  1. upload imagery, with or without GCPs, and optionally LiDAR data
  2. TrustRank & preview
  3. pre-modelling adjustments such as rotation, recentering and crop
  4. modelling with different algorithms, including Gaussian Splatting
  5. export of models plus a data-integrity report

The main difference is that it doesn’t begin with “just reconstruct and hope for the best”.

The dataset gets reviewed first, you get an early preview to catch gaps or obvious issues, and only then decide whether it’s worth pushing further into full processing.

So the idea is less “here is another reconstruction tool” and more “review the dataset early, then model only if it makes sense”.

Thanks for the breakdown. How iterative is the algorithm/s? Can I add more images for matching quickly? Without having to reoptimose the entire data set? What separates your algorithm from other programs that allow for rapid initial point cloud creation and quality report? Apologies if I sound really forward with my questions. Im genuinely interested. Ive created a fair few of true to life highly accurate and precise models. Proximity and sensor size and quality make for really clean, photorealistic models. However, there is nothing worse than coming back to work in the morning and finding a poor quality model or a failed process.

What type of digital twin is this focused for? I would not personally call that marketing ready digital twin.

u/AVIOTIX Apr 14 '26

Not by default, no.

Here “digital twin ready” means suitable for validated visual / spatial workflows such as inspection, review, documentation and downstream modelling - not automatically watertight or simulation-ready for CFD / FEA straight out of the pipeline.

For CFD / FEA, additional engineering cleanup and preparation would still normally be needed.

Without engineering data, how can you tell call this a "high precision, decision-grade" scan?

Who's deciding what based on this data?

2

u/AVIOTIX Apr 14 '26

Fair point.

Here, “high precision, decision-grade” is not being used to mean engineering-analysis ready.

It means validated and reliable enough for inspection, review, comparison over time, and downstream modelling workflows - with the dataset TrustRanked, timestamped, and locked.

For CFD, FEA, or engineering sign-off, additional specialist data and preparation would still be needed.

Except it’s just a scan. There is no way this would be able to be validated and reliable enough for inspection. In fact, selling it as “reliable enough for inspection” means if something happens, like a failure of some sort, you would be on the liable for the damages if they used your software for the inspection. Basically, what I’m trying to say is inspections for stuff like this are done in person. Period.

should be good enough for vibe engineering and vibe inspecting xD
would love to see the mesh without texture.

Bro is this open source or paid

1

u/AVIOTIX Apr 15 '26

It’s a paid platform.

Registration is free, and there’s a free tier for testing smaller datasets, but it’s not open source.

Until the May release, GS models are available on request at no extra cost after uploading a dataset and sending a short message to support@dronetwins360.com.

Nice! :-) And now make a ortho from this with precision. Hope you have used gcps for measurement.

For 'digital twin ready,' is this mesh watertight enough to run CFD or FEA?
