Format Conversion & Interoperability

Loss-less converters between LAS/LAZ, E57, DGN, DWG, SHP, GeoJSON, CityGML and client-proprietary schemas — as scripts, services or hosted endpoints.

Overview
Conversion that respects semantics, not just geometry — attributes, coordinate systems, feature schemas and metadata carry across every conversion. Delivered as CLI, service or hosted endpoint depending on how the workflow needs to consume it.
Example outputs
Client confidentiality

All project samples are shared with client permission. We treat every dataset as confidential and never disclose client data.

How we do it
  1. 01
    Format and schema audit
    Every source and target format is audited for supported geometry, attribution and CRS — no lossy conversion goes into production without acknowledgement.
  2. 02
    Mapping design
    Attribute maps, coordinate transformations and semantic rules are designed and validated with the client's data steward.
  3. 03
    Converter build
    Converters are built as CLI, service or hosted endpoint using PDAL, GDAL, FME and native SDKs as appropriate.
  4. 04
    Validation harness
    A round-trip validation harness ships with every converter to prove the conversion is loss-less within the agreed rules.
  5. 05
    Handover
    Source, documentation and validation harness ship together — you can run and audit conversions independently.
