Pointools Launches Software Bundle for Point Clouds

Pointools has launched a new high-value software bundle for working with point cloud - The billions of measurement points collected by 3D laser scanners. This new 'Pointools Suite' gives users a portfolio of applications and plug-ins designed to streamline the conversion, processing, and reuse of point cloud models, and eliminates the need for time-wasting translations while maintaining the visual quality and accuracy of the data.

By packaging applications and plug-ins in a cost effective bundle, Pointools are making it easier for project teams to work with 3D laser scan data inside their preferred CAD application environments.

For a very competitive price, users can now convert raw point data into detailed 3D point cloud models. They can process and edit point clouds to generate high-definition movies, and they can reuse the same point cloud models inside a broad range of Autodesk, Rhino and Google SketchUp applications.

For further details on Pointools and the Pointools bundle contact Computer Aided Business Systems - 01707 258338 - we are a UK Reseller for Pointools, Autodesk, Rhino and SketchUp.

'Copycat' websites drive rise in fake products.

Copycat websites and fake product news has been hitting the headlines over the last few weeks.

Trading Standards officers are reporting a sharp rise in the number of copycat websites selling fake branded goods over the Internet. A trading standards officer commented "Anything that you can sell, you can now copy."

Autodesk and other graphics applications that Computer Aided Business Systems sell are not immune to this practice. There are numerous sites offering software at discounted prices. They often use images, logo's and text from the manufacturers website to appear genuine.

If an advertised price is too good to be true, then make sure you investigate the product that you are purchasing. Autodesk have strict rules regarding grey selling (purchasing goods from outside the EU), and you may end up spending £1000's on a product that isn't genuine, and you will not receive an authorisation code to use it.


Autodesk provides a list of genuine resellers on their UK website. Computer Aided Business Systems are included in this list as authentic resellers.
