Welcome to Pix4D New Digital Twins Services
What is a Digital Twin?
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object/asset, its capabilities, and its functionalities, that is fed with data in a digital way, regularly, or in real-time. Digital twins facilitate long-term asset management by predicting potential failures, preventing serious damages from occurring and optimizing its performance. Digital Twins enable predictions for faster, and more reliable decision-making. Digital Twins apply to a wide range of environments; Civil, Roads, Infrastructure, Buildings, Oil & Gas, Facilities – from small to big Modeling, Design, Refurbishment, Construction, Demolition, Operation, and Maintenance projects.
The applications of Digital Twins include
Long-term asset management
Object failure prediction
Damage prevention
Informed decision making
What is BIM, and how is it part of Digital Twins?
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a virtual representation of a physical object/asset that represents the interconnections, metadata, and functions of real-world building components. A BIM model is used to support new designs, ongoing construction and operations, and facilitating maintenance.
BIM models are used to communicate between architects, engineers, real estate developers, contractors, manufacturers, and owners. They help all stakeholders understand the lifecycle, accuracy, and completion of a project.
Benefits of BIM
Save time
Reduce costs
Simulate changes
Prepare what/if design scenarios
Risk analysis
Why should you use BIM
- Improved 2D and 3D visualization that includes floor plans, rebar detailing, production schedules.
- Visualize layers of detail, from infrastructure (electrics, plumbing, etc) to simulated design and layout
- Clash detection and intervention
- Precise Bill of Quantities and materials take-off
- Digital replica of reality with time-cost analysis options
- Improved safety
- Streamlined decision making

What is Pix4D’s offer?
Meet Scan-to-BIM
Pix4D is providing a digital twin service integrated within its product ecosystem. The Digital Twin service will create BIM models with comprehensive detail that is optimized to individual project needs. We can convert point clouds to BIM and/or CAD-to-BIM. The geometric level of detail will be set to elod300, from which 2D and 3D CAD drawings and developing sheet templates can be created.

The deliverables (including 3D BIM Model) to be provided by Pix4D to the Client as specified in the statement of work are based on the area delimited by the Client, the visible elements within the point clouds using Pix4D’s return of experience, photographs taken for the project, CAD drawings available, inclusion and exclusion elements, and the quality metrics described in the Pix4D point cloud quality report. The reality captured data to be provided by the Client to Pix4D for the execution and delivery of the deliverables shall be collected and created under the sole responsibility of the Client and in accordance with Pix4D's specific recommendations and general photogrammetry principles. The Client acknowledges that the point cloud results derived from reality captured data provided by the Client to Pix4D could alter the quality and precision of the BIM model if not collected and created in accordance with Pix4D's specific recommendations and photogrammetry principles. Pix4D shall in particular not be held liable for (i) the collection and creation of reality captured data, and (ii) any alteration in the BIM model resulting from reality captured data provided by the Client.
