Maptek Vulcan™ software provides advanced 3D spatial information,
modelling, visualisation and analysis in fields ranging from mining
to defence, environmental management and urban planning. More
than 3500 licences of Vulcan are installed around the world in the
mining industry alone. Linking Vulcan's capability to model
large volume spatial data to inputs from laser imaging devices led
to the development of Maptek I-Site™ 3D Laser Imaging hardware and software products. Laser scanning can be used in the mining,
engineering, surveying, defence and entertainment industries to
create 3D models for a wide variety of spatial and volumetric analysis
tasks.
