What 3Dsurvey does
3Dsurvey is a privately held Slovenian software company that develops an all-in-one photogrammetry platform for surveying, construction, mining, and geospatial professionals. The product converts 2D imagery from drones, cameras, LiDAR, SONAR, and GNSS receivers into 3D point clouds, orthophotos, meshes, and terrain models, and exposes an integrated CAD engine for volume calculation, contour generation, profile and cross-section extraction, and CAD export. Two paid add-on modules — Scan (LiDAR/SLAM point cloud registration using ICP) and RTK Videogrammetry (centimeter-level video-based modeling with Emlid, Trimble, ArduSimple, and Stonex receivers) — extend the platform into terrestrial scanning and mobile mapping, while 3Dsurvey Cloud (75GB included) handles project sharing and 3Dsurvey Pilot/SiteScan mobile apps handle drone flight planning and RTK capture.
The company sells via direct online store, a regional partner/reseller network spanning at least eight European countries plus the United States, and an educational licensing program. Pricing is structured as €225/month or €2,250/year subscriptions, a €3,399 perpetual license with optional annual support, and module add-ons (€100/month or €1,000/year for Scan; €50/month or €500/year for RTK Videogrammetry), with a 14-day free trial driving product-led acquisition. 3Dsurvey is founder-led by CEO Tomaž Izak, has been operating since at least 2016 without disclosed external funding, and has earned industry recognition as a 2026 Geoawesome Global Top 100 Geospatial Company and a Geo Week 2026 Game Changers Showcase feature.
The platform supports 18 languages, is compatible with DJI enterprise drones, and serves SMB and mid-market surveyors, construction firms, mining operators, environmental and cultural heritage practitioners, and academic institutions across Europe and North America.

3Dsurvey competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Pix4D: Swiss-based photogrammetry software company offering Pix4Dmapper, Pix4Dfields, and Pix4Dcloud for drone-based mapping and surveying. Direct competitor to 3Dsurvey in converting drone imagery into point clouds, orthophotos, and 3D models for surveying and construction professionals.
- Agisoft Metashape: Standalone photogrammetry software (formerly PhotoScan) for generating 3D spatial data from still images, used widely in surveying, cultural heritage, and mining. Closely comparable feature set to 3Dsurvey's processing pipeline, including point cloud, mesh, and orthophoto generation.
- DroneDeploy: Cloud-based drone mapping and photogrammetry platform serving construction, mining, and surveying. Comparable end-to-end capture-to-share workflow, with deeper construction vertical specialization and a more mature enterprise API ecosystem than 3Dsurvey.
- Propeller Aero: Drone surveying and earthworks analytics platform focused on construction and mining stockpiles, volume calculations, and site progress tracking. Overlaps with 3Dsurvey's surface mining and construction segments with comparable orthophoto, point cloud, and volume workflows.
- SimActive Correlator3D: Professional photogrammetry software for large-scale mapping and surveying projects (corridor mapping, urban modeling). Comparable processing pipeline and use cases to 3Dsurvey, particularly in land surveying and infrastructure.
Broad incumbents
- Bentley Systems (ContextCapture): Enterprise infrastructure engineering software giant whose ContextCapture product competes directly in reality modeling and photogrammetry. Broader portfolio across BIM, CAD, and asset lifecycle, but the photogrammetry capabilities overlap with 3Dsurvey's core offering.
- ESRI ArcGIS Drone2Map: Esri's drone imagery processing extension to ArcGIS Pro, generating 2D/3D products from drone imagery. Comparable photogrammetry output, but tightly integrated into the Esri GIS ecosystem — a credible alternative for surveying customers already on ArcGIS.
- Trimble: Global surveying and geospatial technology vendor whose Trimble Business Center, eCognition, and UAS products cover drone photogrammetry, CAD extraction, and survey workflows that overlap with 3Dsurvey's offering — particularly in land surveying and construction.
- Autodesk ReCap / Civil 3D: Autodesk's reality capture and infrastructure design suites (ReCap Pro, Civil 3D, Infraworks) provide photogrammetry processing and CAD integration that overlaps with 3Dsurvey's processing and CAD extraction modules, especially in surveying and infrastructure workflows.
Emerging players
- Skycatch: Drone data capture and processing platform focused on construction site intelligence and 3D site models. Partial overlap with 3Dsurvey on construction photogrammetry, with deeper vertical specialization in construction progress monitoring.
