A Leap Forward in 3D Point Cloud Processing: TREND-POINT Introduces New Output Option

Fukui Computer Corp, headquartered in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture and led by COO Naoki Sugita, is set to launch a significant enhancement to their 3D point cloud processing system, TREND-POINT. Scheduled for release on June 16, 2026, this update will introduce the 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) output option.

Background of the Development

Since the initial integration of 3DGS reading capabilities in October 2025, TREND-POINT has garnered considerable interest from the market. However, one of the main challenges that users faced was the limitation of utilizing 3DGS data solely within the TREND-POINT environment. The inability to transfer this data to other software or utilize it in subsequent processes posed significant limitations for users seeking to maximize their workflow. Recognizing these hurdles, the company has now developed an output feature designed to bridge this gap.

Expected Benefits of the New Option

As outlined by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in its 2024 initiative “i-Construction 2.0”, there is a strong emphasis on enhancing data integration and management throughout construction projects. The new output option facilitates the export of 3DGS data in the PLY format, a widely accepted file type in 3D modeling and visualization.

In conjunction with the output feature, existing input options have also been updated to accommodate additional formats for 3DGS data, including SOG, LCC, and compressed PLY formats. This comprehensive support allows smoother data flow across different phases of investigation, surveying, design, and construction, which is crucial for effective project management.

With these advancements, the TREND-POINT system is poised to enhance the visualization, sharing, and verification processes of 3DGS data, contributing significantly to the digital transformation of the construction industry.

Pricing Details

The pricing for the new output option is set at 120,000 JPY (excluding tax), matching the fee for the previous 3D Gaussian Splatting input option. It is important to note that while TREND-POINT can handle 3D Gaussian Splatting data, it does not have the capability to create such data.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the introduction of the 3D Gaussian Splatting output feature is a noteworthy advancement for TREND-POINT users, further empowering them to leverage 3D data in a more integrated and efficient manner. As industries continue to evolve towards digital solutions, Fukui Computer Corp demonstrates its commitment to enhancing its offerings to meet these emerging needs.

Stay tuned for the official launch on June 16, 2026, and explore the possibilities that the new TREND-POINT features will bring to the world of 3D processing.
