From scan to BIM

Faster than ever

bimeto’s deep trained AI model automatically processes your 3D point cloud scans into accurate BIM models, saving surveying firms, architects, and developers weeks of manual work. Running around the clock, the platform handles even complex scans with no delays.

Automation + human expertise

bimeto’s higher priced package “BIM model Service” includes an architect in the loop for quality review and fine-tuning, the best of both worlds. Choose the package that fits your workflow, from fully automated base model creation to end-to-end delivery with expert support.

About bimeto

bimeto is a spin-off from the renowned Fraunhofer IPM research institute and founded in 2022. They put years of cutting-edge research directly into practice.

Where others rely on manual modelling, their intelligent software automates the entire scan-to-BIM process, delivering precise BIM models from complex scan data 24/7, fully compatible with standard planning tools.

MadVoxel is proud to partner with bimetos expert team to redefine what’s possible in automated scan-to-BIM generation.

FAQ

bimeto is a Fraunhofer IPM spin-off (2022). The company is located in and operation from Germany.
If you want to reprocess or upsample your scan later, save a MAVOB (MAVO Backup) file locally or to some other file storage online. This preserves all RAW data for future use.

Turnaround depends on the service level you choose. Automated BIM base models are typically ready within 6 - 12 hours.

The full “BIM Model Service” takes 2 - 4 working days, and the all-inclusive package runs 1 - 2 weeks depending on project complexity.

Need it faster? Express processing is available at an additional cost.

Every upload is checked for completeness and quality at no extra charge. If bimeto spots issues, they will reach out straight away with clear options.

Minor data gaps can often be resolved through intelligent interpolation. For larger coverage problems, it is recommended to do a re-survey with MAVO 3D before processing begins.

Absolutely, both of our solutions are built with large-scale projects in mind. The Scan-to-BIM workflow handles everything from single residential properties to large-scale industrial facilities and complex commercial buildings.

For bigger or more demanding projects, we recommend the full-service package from bimeto, which includes dedicated expert support and fine-tuning.
