A U.S. Army veteran, Clark Yuan, created a startup called Stitch3D to address the challenge of sharing 3D scans of large files, such as those used in lidar technology. This was inspired by his experience with the Navy's 3D modeling systems and the difficulties he faced when trying to share lidar scans of a burnt naval ship. Stitch3D is a browser-based platform that allows users to view, share, annotate, interact with, and manage large 3D files.
The startup has received funding from the Air Force and aims to develop its technology in a secure way. The Air Force plans to use Stitch3D to measure coastal erosion and assess airfield damage. However, Yuan sees the platform's potential beyond military applications, including industries such as forestry, mining, architecture, land surveying, oil drilling, and more.
