NORM3D

What NORM3D does

NORM3D is a French SaaS company headquartered in Colombelles, Normandy (2 rue Jean Perrin), registered as NORM3D SAS under number 890 786 817 at the Caen company registry with €300,000 in share capital. The company develops cloud-based 3D point cloud processing and Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow software, targeting BIM professionals in construction, cultural heritage documentation, and Industry 4.0 applications. Its platform automates the conversion of 3D scan data into BIM models, verifies the fidelity of digital models against original scans, and simplifies point cloud datasets for downstream use.

NORM3D's core product portfolio comprises three integrated SaaS tools accessible via the bim.norm3d.com web platform: SCAN2BIM automatically generates a digital BIM model at LOD200 from a 3D point cloud in approximately three clicks and outputs RVT/IFC files compatible with Autodesk Revit and Graphisoft Archicad, with claimed productivity gains of up to 85% and cost savings above 50%; BIMAQ (BIM Assurance Quality) performs reliability checks of IFC digital models against 3D point clouds and produces colored deviation maps, BCF issue files, and XLSX quality statistics per element class, processing a 1,000m² building in under 10 minutes; and CLEANER removes outlier points that deviate from an IFC/RVT reference model, producing simplified E57 point clouds for efficient downstream use. The portfolio also includes BIMAQ2D (2D quality assurance), the NORM3D Connector for Revit, and an IFC Viewer. Processing is executed on OVHcloud infrastructure within France, supporting a data-sovereignty narrative for European public-sector and regulated customers.

The business model is a SaaS subscription delivered as a browser-based, no-installation service, supplemented by enterprise field sales targeting construction companies, land surveyors, and government departments. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with self-serve trial registration through bim.norm3d.com. Named customers and partners include Vinci Construction, Degaud, Ecassini, AL1, LBP Etude et Conseils, MERKO, CID, Geovrd, Glocal, and the Département du Calvados (with the latter formalized as a flagship partnership in April 2024 as part of the company's commercial launch phase). The operating team is small (1-10 employees), no outside funding rounds or institutional investors are disclosed, and the operating footprint is concentrated in Normandy with a global SaaS distribution posture.

Core offering

NORM3D develops and operates a cloud-based SaaS platform for 3D point cloud processing and BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflows. Its products automate the conversion of 3D scan data into digital BIM models at LOD200, verify the reliability of IFC digital models against 3D point clouds, and clean/simplify large point cloud datasets. The platform is accessible via web browser with no software installation required and runs on French cloud infrastructure (OVHcloud).

Product overview

NORM3D is a French SaaS company offering three integrated core products for scan-to-BIM workflows: SCAN2BIM generates LOD200 BIM models from 3D point clouds automatically, BIMAQ verifies BIM model quality against scan data, and CLEANER simplifies point clouds based on model deviations. The platform is accessible via web browser with no software installation required. Processing runs on French cloud infrastructure (OVHcloud). The portfolio also includes BIMAQ2D for 2D quality assurance with Revit integration via the NORM3D Connector plugin, and a web-based IFC Viewer. Solutions target BIM professionals in construction, cultural heritage, and Industry 4.0 sectors.

Products and services

• SCAN2BIM SCAN2BIM automatically generates a digital BIM model at LOD200 from a 3D point cloud (E57, LAS, RCS formats) in just 2-3 clicks, outputting RVT/IFC format compatible with commercial BIM software such as Autodesk Revit and Archicad. Targets BIM professionals in construction needing automated scan-to-BIM conversion.
• BIMAQ BIMAQ (BIM Assurance Quality) checks the reliability of an IFC digital model against a 3D point cloud, generating a colored point cloud, BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) file for discrepancy location, and XLSX quality statistics per element class. Capable of processing 1000m² building in under 10 minutes. For BIM quality assurance professionals.
• CLEANER CLEANER cleans a 3D point cloud by removing points that deviate from a digital IFC/RVT model, generating a simplified E57 point cloud. Use cases include BIM model updating, display simplification, and efficient machine processing. Targets professionals needing simplified datasets.
• BIMAQ2D BIMAQ2D is a 2D BIM quality assurance solution designed and developed by NORM3D for verifying digital model reliability against scan data in 2D workflows. For BIM professionals requiring 2D quality assurance.
• IFC Viewer Web-based IFC file viewer powered by IfcOpenShell and BIMSurfer2 for viewing and sharing IFC BIM models online.

Broad incumbents

• Bentley Systems: Provides ContextCapture and OpenBuildings for reality modeling and BIM. Competes with NORM3D on the scan-to-BIM bridge within Bentley's broader infrastructure/AEC platform.
• Autodesk: Owner of Revit and ReCap, which sit at the center of the BIM authoring and point-cloud ingestion workflow NORM3D targets. A broad AEC incumbent whose bundling and installed base pose the dominant competitive threat to NORM3D's interoperability-led positioning.
• Leica Geosystems (Hexagon): Leading provider of laser scanners (e.g., Leica RTC360, BLK series) and processing tools (Cyclone, REGISTER 360). A broad incumbent that owns much of the upstream point-capture layer feeding NORM3D's downstream BIM processing.
• Trimble: Major AEC and geospatial incumbent with scanning hardware (Trimble TX) and software (Trimble RealWorks, SketchUp) spanning survey-to-BIM. Competes with NORM3D across both the input capture and model generation sides.

Emerging players

• NavVis: Indoor spatial mapping platform combining mobile laser scanning hardware with cloud-based processing and digital twins. Overlaps with NORM3D's point-cloud processing and as-built digital-twin use cases for buildings and facilities.
• Cupix: 3D site visualization and progress monitoring platform for construction using 360° capture and BIM overlays. Adjacent competitor for the as-built / progress-monitoring use cases NORM3D's BIMAQ addresses.
• OpenSpace: AI-powered construction progress tracking using 360° imagery and BIM overlay. Adjacent competitor in the construction QA / as-built verification space where NORM3D's BIMAQ plays.

Direct peers

• PointFuse: Point-cloud-to-mesh/mesh-to-BIM conversion software widely used by laser scanning service providers. Competes head-to-head with NORM3D's SCAN2BIM and CLEANER on converting raw 3D scans into usable BIM/GIS assets.
• ClearEdge3D: Direct competitor offering point-cloud-to-BIM extraction and as-built modeling tools (EdgeWise, Verity) for AEC. Targets the same scan-to-BIM workflow that NORM3D's SCAN2BIM addresses and competes for the same surveyor/BIM manager buyer.

Others

• Solibri (Nemetschek Group): BIM quality assurance and model checking tool widely used by BIM coordinators. Adjacent to NORM3D's BIMAQ/BIMAQ2D QA proposition, though focused on model rules rather than point-cloud vs. model comparison.
