What Bimm Solutions Gmbh does

BIMm Solutions GmbH is a privately-held German software company headquartered in Sontheim an der Brenz, established in 2021 when the former BIMm GmbH split into a software entity and a measurement-services entity. The company develops and sells BIMmTool, a Building Information Modeling (BIM) add-on for the GRAPHISOFT Archicad platform that imports point cloud data from laser scanners and converts it into intelligent BIM models for renovation, heritage preservation, and as-built documentation projects. Its product line spans a free BIMmTool Viewer, a paid BIMmTool Lite for entry-level users (now bundled free with Archicad 28), the professional BIMmTool Pro tier featuring 70+ Easy2Model functions, Orthophoto, Delta Analysis and Clipping Box, and a BIMmTool Connect variant for PointCab Origins users. Technical integration with the NavVis IVION platform and PointCab Origins extends its ecosystem reach.

The company generates revenue through perpetual licenses, time-limited subscription/rental licenses with auto-renewal, 12-month support contracts, and educational licenses; an online shop and a network of GRAPHISOFT Centers and regional BIM distributors across Europe and Japan handle sales and distribution. Its primary customers are SMB architecture and engineering firms, surveying companies, and heritage/restoration specialists using Archicad. Following the 2021 spin-off, BIMm Solutions transitioned from outsourced to in-house development, and has shipped continuous product updates including BIMmTool Pro (2022), Mesh Tool with ground filter (2024), BIMmTool 28 (December 2024), and Smart Tools with automatic wall detection (December 2025).

Core offering

BIMm Solutions GmbH develops and sells BIMmTool, an add-on for the Archicad architectural design platform that enables Scan-to-BIM workflows. The software imports point cloud data from laser scans, allows users to navigate, analyze and model the data directly inside Archicad, and produces intelligent BIM models, orthophotos, and model-to-reality delta analyses for architecture, surveying, and heritage preservation projects.

Product overview

BIMm Solutions GmbH offers BIMmTool, a comprehensive add-on software for Archicad that enables Scan-to-BIM workflows by converting point clouds into intelligent BIM models. The product family includes three tiers: BIMmTool Viewer (free), BIMmTool Lite, and BIMmTool Pro, along with the specialized BIMmTool Connect integration for PointCab Origins users. Recent additions include Smart Tools featuring automatic detection capabilities and a Mesh Tool with ground filter for terrain creation. The software provides five core workflows: Import, Analysis, Modeling, Quality Control, and Publishing.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• NavVis (IVION Integration)coreTechnology or Integration · 26 October 2022BIMmTool integrates with NavVis IVION platform for processing point clouds from NavVis VLX or M6 scanners. The integration allows users to access IVION data directly in BIMmTool, view panoramas, and use Easy2Model functions for modeling in Archicad.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Trimble: Trimble's RealWorks and Trimble Business Center handle point cloud registration, visualization, and feature extraction within a much larger AEC and geospatial software portfolio. Comparable on Scan-to-BIM functionality but operates at a vastly larger scale.
• Autodesk: Autodesk bundles point cloud processing into ReCap and embeds Scan-to-BIM capabilities directly in Revit. As the dominant BIM platform globally, it represents the largest competitive threat to any Archicad-specialized tool like BIMm Solutions.
• Leica Geosystems (Hexagon): Hexagon's Leica Geosystems division offers Cyclone and JetStream for point cloud processing as part of a broader surveying and reality-capture portfolio. It competes with BIMmTool at the processing/modeling layer, though Leica targets a much wider hardware-and-software ecosystem.
• FARO Technologies: FARO combines laser scanning hardware with FARO Scene and As-Built software for point cloud-to-model conversion. Comparable Scan-to-BIM functionality, particularly via its acquisition of Kubit, puts it in direct competition with BIMmTool's modeling layer.

Direct peers

• Aspire Software: Aspire (formerly IMSCAD) converts point clouds into CAD/BIM models with automated feature recognition, overlapping with BIMmTool's automated modeling positioning. Both target architectural practices seeking to accelerate Scan-to-BIM workflows.
• Carlson Software: Carlson provides point cloud and Scan-to-BIM tools (e.g., Carlson Point Cloud) used by surveyors and AEC professionals. It is comparable to BIMmTool on the point-cloud-to-model conversion capability, though typically sold into surveying-heavy workflows.
• Kubit: Kubit (now part of FARO) offers PointSense plugins for Scan-to-BIM modeling inside major AEC platforms, including Archicad integrations. It is a direct functional competitor to BIMmTool's Easy2Model modeling functions.
• PointCab: PointCab's Origins software extracts geometry and BIM elements from point clouds, making it the closest direct peer to BIMmTool. Notably, BIMm Solutions already partners with PointCab (BIMmTool Connect tier), making them simultaneously competitor and collaborator in the Archicad point cloud space.
• ClearEdge3D: ClearEdge3D's EdgeWise and Verity products automate Scan-to-BIM workflows for walls, pipes, and structural elements, directly competing with BIMmTool's Easy2Model and Smart Tools. Both target the same workflow of converting point clouds into intelligent BIM models for AEC firms.

Others

• NavVis: NavVis is a strategic technology partner of BIMm Solutions (IVION integration for VLX/M6 scanners) rather than a direct competitor. It is included because its mobile-mapping platform is increasingly tied to Scan-to-BIM workflows where BIMmTool competes.
