Case Study: Volterra-Detroit Foundation preserves archaeological treasures and shares scan data with Cintoo Cloud

Volterra-Detroit Foundation reduces point cloud file sizes by 10-40x with Cintoo

The Volterra-Detroit Foundation, a collaborative group working to digitally document archaeological sites in Volterra, Italy, faced the challenge of managing and sharing the massive point cloud data generated from laser scans. They needed an efficient platform to store the gigantic datasets and enable collaboration among their international team of experts. The vendor, Cintoo, offered its Cintoo Cloud service to address this data management problem.

Cintoo implemented its Cintoo Cloud platform, which uses a unique point cloud-to-surface technology to drastically reduce file sizes without losing accuracy. This solution became the central hub for storing the town's scan data, facilitating easy access and collaboration for the global team. The measurable impact was a 10 to 40 times reduction in point cloud file size. Cintoo Cloud allowed the project to efficiently share data and advance its groundbreaking work of preserving architectural treasures.
