natCo., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: 劉 栄駿; hereinafter “the Company”) is pleased to announce the official release of the web version of “Scanat ,” which utilizes the smartphone LiDAR sensors it has developed and provides.

■Development Background

We received requests from many customers saying, “We want to be able to use the software on a PC just like we do on the app” and “We want to share 3D models with our partner companies,” so we have set out to develop these new features.

It has been about a year since the release of the beta version, and with the support of many users and their valuable feedback, we have continued to make improvements.

In particular, the feature that allows users to share 3D models created with “Scanat ” has been very well received, as it allows users to share 3D models created with it via a single web URL, facilitating smooth information sharing with relevant parties. In addition, through our in-house research and development, we have implemented the automatic drawing output feature for “Normal Scan”—a feature requested by many users—and have officially released it.

This feature marks an important first step toward streamlining the automatic conversion of 3D models into drawings. We hope many users will take advantage of this feature and experience the new possibilities it offers.
