Understand the site.
Wide-area LiDAR helps with terrain, trees and built context. Coordinate systems, vertical datums and ground classification matter as much as point count.

Start small, compare formats, then inspect a richer file. Native LAS, LAZ and E57 downloads are paired with browser-friendly previews where needed.

Different questions.
Document what is there.
Tripod and mobile laser workflows capture spaces and complex surfaces. Compare coverage and occlusion before assuming a scan is complete.
Capture & measurement ↗Work closer to the object.
Depth cameras and handheld systems suit different object sizes and surface conditions. A single frame has missing surfaces; registration joins views.
Object-to-CAD workflows ↗Separate looks from dimensions.
Photogrammetry and textured models communicate appearance. A persuasive render is not proof that dimensions or material properties were measured.
Creative Studio ↗Go to the original collections.
For scanner makes and workflows beyond this starter library, use the owners’ sample hubs. Downloads and reuse conditions are controlled by each provider; “free to download” does not automatically mean permission to redistribute.

What “open” and “preview” mean here
CC0 and public-domain samples permit broad reuse. CC BY requires attribution; keep the supplied credits when sharing a derivative. CAD fixtures retain their stated license. Always inspect the original source and license before commercial reuse.
Preview PLYs may be thinned or centered for browser performance. A colour ramp may visualize elevation instead of camera RGB. These changes are recorded with each sample. E57, LAS and LAZ files are downloadable originals or explicitly described conversions; this browser does not directly decode every scanner format.
