Cintoo

Cintoo is a cloud platform for managing, viewing and sharing reality capture data, built by a French and US company headquartered in Biot, Sophia Antipolis, with a US office in Miami. Development of its core technology began in 2013, Cintoo’s company history places the platform’s first public release in late 2018, and its TurboMesh engine followed in 2019. TurboMesh, its patented point cloud to mesh engine, converts each laser scan position into a multiresolution mesh that streams in a web browser. The company closed a €37 million Series B led by Partech in 2024.

The platform is sold as editions. BIM Edition covers scan to BIM work and comparison of scans against models, and Twin Edition covers asset management, AI classification and tagging for facility owners. Uploads accept E57, RCP, LAS and LAZ point clouds alongside BIM and CAD formats such as RVT, IFC and DWG. Cintoo integrates with Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, Newforma Konekt, Power BI and Esri ArcGIS Enterprise, and it holds SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and ISO 27001 certification.

360 Edition launched on February 16, 2026 in partnership with Ricoh and is where Gaussian splatting enters the product. A helmet or monopod mounted Ricoh THETA X records 5.7K video, which uploads through Ricoh360 into a Cintoo project. Cintoo processes each video for pose estimation, automatic face blurring and Gaussian splat generation, a job its documentation says can take up to two hours and sometimes more. The result is a camera path with a splat rendered around it, which users align to existing scans or models.

Splats render in the same 3D viewer as TurboMesh scan meshes and BIM models. By default a splat is shown within a 6 meter radius of the path, and a fade distance slider extends or trims it. Annotations, measurements, cropping and tags work on splats, each splat carries a quality score, and the scan against model comparison tool does not support them. Videos must run between 10 seconds and 9 minutes.

360 Edition is an annual add-on that requires an active BIM or Twin subscription. Each subscription includes one rented, certified THETA X, shipped in the US, UK, EU and Canada, and customer owned cameras are not supported. A beta for selected accounts imports equirectangular MP4 files from local disk at up to 5.7K and, for now, does not require a 360 Edition subscription. The web app runs in Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and Cintoo specifies a dedicated graphics card with at least 2 GB of memory.
