Occipital

What Occipital does

Occipital, Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated, Denver-based private company operating the Twindo spatial intelligence platform (formerly Canvas), which uses proprietary computer vision algorithms and Apple mobile-device LiDAR sensors to convert interior scans captured on iPhones and iPads into editable CAD and BIM files. The platform pairs AI-driven processing with expert human modeling to deliver design-ready outputs compatible with seven major design software ecosystems: AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, Chief Architect, Vectorworks, and 2020 Design. Occipital's product surface now spans the core Scan to CAD offering plus beta modules for Plan to CAD and Point Cloud to BIM, with auxiliary features for in-platform drafting, web-based viewing, measurement reporting, and 2D floor plan generation. The company holds 20+ patents protecting its scan-to-CAD pipeline and reports an accumulated dataset of 150M+ square feet modeled and 500,000+ completed scans.

The company serves architecture, interior design, and remodeling professionals through a primarily self-serve, product-led growth motion accessible via web app and iOS, layered with an enterprise sales channel for multi-site deployments in retail, QSR, multifamily residential, hospitality, and fire safety. Revenue is generated through subscription and usage-based pricing tied to square footage submitted, with rush delivery priced at a 20% premium. Twindo claims 12,000+ professional users, a 4.8 US App Store rating, and 99% measurement accuracy within 1-2% of manual verification. Occipital has historically grown through both organic product development and acquisitions (ManCTL, Lynx Laboratories, Replica Labs, Paracosm, GeoCV), and raised approximately $9.8 million in a February 2025 SEC Form D filing following a $15.1 million Series 3 in 2018 led by Foundry Group.

Revenue model

1. Subscription-based SaaS (Square Footage Pricing): Twindo offers CAD conversion services with pricing based on square footage submitted. Users can subscribe and submit scans through the app or web portal, receiving completed CAD files, floor plans, and measurement reports. The service supports both one-time projects and ongoing professional use.
2. Usage-based CAD Conversion: Pricing is determined by the square footage of spaces submitted for scanning and conversion, making it scalable for projects of different sizes. Rush delivery is available for an additional 20%.

Core offering

Occipital develops Twindo (formerly Canvas), a spatial intelligence platform that uses AI and mobile-device LiDAR sensors (iPhone/iPad) to capture interior spaces and convert 3D scans, floor plans, and point clouds into accurate, editable CAD and BIM files for home improvement and design professionals. The platform pairs automated AI processing with expert human modeling to deliver files compatible with all major CAD/BIM software. Pricing is based on square footage submitted, with subscription and usage-based options.

Product overview

Twindo (formerly Canvas) is a spatial intelligence platform offered by Occipital as a unified platform-plus-modules architecture. The core product is Scan to CAD, which uses AI and mobile-device LiDAR technology to capture interior spaces and convert them into design-ready CAD and BIM files. Additional modules include Plan to CAD (Beta) for converting 2D plans to CAD, Point Cloud to BIM (Beta) for processing laser scan data, Draft for in-platform editing, Web Viewer for browser-based sharing, Measurement Report for generating dimension documentation, and 2D Floor Plans for plan extraction. The platform outputs files compatible with major CAD/BIM software including Archicad, AutoCAD, Chief Architect, Revit, SketchUp, Vectorworks, and 2020 Design.

Direct peers

• Matterport: Matterport is the most direct competitor to Twindo: it provides 3D spatial capture and digital twin outputs for AEC, real estate, and facilities. Both products turn interior scans into CAD/BIM-compatible deliverables, with Matterport leaning on proprietary hardware/cameras while Twindo leverages commodity Apple LiDAR.
• Polycam: Polycam is a mobile-based 3D scanning app that uses smartphone LiDAR and photogrammetry to generate meshes, point clouds, and CAD/BIM outputs. It targets the same architecture, design, and remodeling professionals as Twindo with a self-serve, app-led model.
• Magicplan: Magicplan provides mobile floor plan capture and as-built documentation for contractors, remodelers, and interior designers. It overlaps directly with Twindo's Scan to CAD workflow and serves a similar SMB-led contractor persona.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble (Trimble RealWorks / SketchUp): Trimble provides point cloud processing and as-built modeling tools (e.g., Trimble RealWorks, Trimble Connect) widely used in AEC. It competes for the same scan-to-BIM pipeline revenue as Twindo via a more enterprise-led go-to-market.
• Autodesk ReCap: Autodesk ReCap is the scan-to-BIM pipeline embedded in the Autodesk ecosystem (Revit, AutoCAD). It is a broad incumbent competing for the same downstream workflow Twindo targets, with the advantage of native integration to Autodesk's CAD/BIM tools.
• Leica Geosystems (BLK series): Leica's BLK line of laser scanners produces high-accuracy point clouds widely used for as-built documentation and scan-to-BIM workflows. It serves the same AEC end-market as Twindo but with professional-grade hardware rather than mobile-LiDAR convenience.
• FARO Technologies: FARO sells professional 3D laser scanners and scan-to-BIM software (e.g., As-Built for Revit, SCENE). It competes with Twindo at the higher-accuracy end of the AEC scanning market where professional surveyors and engineers dominate.

Emerging players

• Pointfuse: Pointfuse converts laser scan point clouds into classified, mesh-based 3D models for AEC and BIM workflows. It overlaps with Twindo's Point Cloud to BIM module at the conversion/automation layer of the same scan-to-BIM value chain.
• ClearEdge3D: ClearEdge3D specializes in automated scan-to-BIM and as-built modeling tools (EdgeWise, Verity). It targets the same Point Cloud to BIM use case Twindo's beta module addresses, with a focus on plant, MEP, and structural as-builts.
• RoomSketcher: RoomSketcher produces floor plans, 3D visualizations, and CAD outputs for interior designers, real estate agents, and remodelers. It serves a similar end-user persona to Twindo and competes for the same SMB designer/contractor budget, particularly in the Plan-to-CAD workflow.
