Overview
Stitch3D is a secure, cloud-native platform for hosting, visualizing, and sharing spatial data directly in a web browser. No desktop software. No hard drives. No proprietary file formats. Just upload your data, view it instantly, and share it with anyone.
The problem Stitch3D solves
Reality capture hardware like drones, LiDAR scanners, and photogrammetry rigs have gotten fast and affordable. The bottleneck is no longer collecting the data. It's delivering it.
Most teams end up shipping hard drives or dropping files into Dropbox or OneDrive. Neither gives clients an interactive view of the data. Neither supports collaboration. And neither was built for the scale of a modern point cloud.
Stitch3D is purpose-built for this gap. A single platform where spatial data can be hosted, explored, measured, and delivered to any stakeholder, on any device, in real time.
What you can do in Stitch3D
View spatial data in the browser
Stitch3D's high-performance 3D viewer runs entirely in a web browser without any plugins or installs. We handle large-scale point clouds, raster overlays, elevation models, and more, on both desktop and mobile.
Measure and annotate
Built-in tools let you and your team work directly inside the viewer:
Point annotations — drop notes and markers anywhere in the scene
Distance and height — measure between any two points
Area — calculate surface area from a drawn polygon
Volume — calculate cut/fill volumes for stockpiles and earthworks
Video flythrough — create and share animated fly-through recordings
Share with anyone
Generate a secure link or QR code to share any project or file with clients, contractors, or stakeholders. Users do not need a Stitch3D account to view shared files. Permission levels let you control exactly what each person can see and do.
Collaborate in real time
Multiple users can be inside the same project simultaneously. The viewer synchronizes presence and updates live across all active sessions.
