MIAMI — (April 05, 2023) — Cintoo, the leader in providing cutting edge SaaS
based cloud solutions is proud to announce that they have provided Xcel Strategies Inc.
with free use of their platform solutions.

Xcel, a mentoring network, is a 501c3 nonprofit organization mentoring young people
ages 15 – 25 in soft skills, job skills and trade skills for the construction industry.
Through Xcel training, which now includes digital construction resources from Cintoo
and Autodesk, America’s at-risk youth are learning valuable skills for the construction
industry.

Cintoo, along with the Autodesk Technology Impact Program, donates software to
nonprofits, startups, and entrepreneurs that are using design for environmental and
social good. The free offering includes Autodesk Construction Cloud, AutoCAD,
NavisWorks, and Cintoo Cloud. With these donations, young adults can gain essential
training and extensive knowledge in construction skills that are in greatest demand. In
addition, the goals of driving innovation through digital design and construction best
practices for the advancement of CAD and BIM applications are assured for America’s
workforce of tomorrow.

“The coordination between Cintoo and Xcel to provide our comprehensive digital
construction solutions to today’s youth underscores our joint commitment to supporting
training initiatives including BIM and digital twin applications. Cintoo is delighted to be a
proud sponsor along with Autodesk of the efforts that Xcel is providing to allow
interested users to learn about the latest advancements in laser scanning by donating
our browser-based solution, which allows any expert or non-expert access to high
resolution 3D scans and models from anywhere at any time,” said Dominique
Pouliquen, CEO and chief product officer at Cintoo.
Xcel Strategies Inc. was founded in Savannah, GA in 2012 and has been serving as a
mentoring network to fuel young people with purpose to reach their full potential through

a network of wise, seasoned trained mentors in Georgia and South Florida. Xcel
combines the power of transformative mentoring with the accessibility of a mobile
training unit, to facilitate hands on learning, hard and soft skill development for youth
ages 15-25. Xcel’s Fueled with Purpose curriculum is composed of life-skill character
development training featuring six main principles: goal setting, time management,
health & fitness, financial stewardship, relationships, and relational intelligence. Xcel’s
innovative Worx Mobile Training Units allow hands on access to tools, materials, and
the experiential learning that has led to higher success rates and has increased the
likelihood that Xcel participants have the hard and soft skills credentials that employers
are looking for. Xcel’s mentoring program is holistic in its approach and design,
providing mentoring, soft skills, and hands on career training in the Mobile Training Unit
in carpentry, electric, plumbing, HVAC, welding, auto mechanic and Virtual Design
Construction (VDC).

About Cintoo:
Cintoo Cloud offers companies working in Digital Twin, AEC and Industry 4.0 a cloud-
based SaaS solution to manage 3D scanned data collected from real-world built
spaces. The Cintoo solution is agnostic to any scanning hardware and supports static &
mobile laser scan data, drone data & 360 panoramic images. It is browser based
allowing any expert or non-expert access to high resolution 3D scans and models from
anywhere at any time.

Cintoo Cloud uses a unique point cloud-to-mesh engine that does not compromise on
scan accuracy and density. It is connected to Autodesk Construction Cloud to enable
QA/QC and issue tracking workflows when you need to compare your as-builds to your
designs. This direct integration allows you to upload your models or import them from
your account to compare your as-built scan data to a BIM model in real time and

includes asset management capabilities. For more information, visit www.cintoo.com or

Devil's in the details.Anybody from Cintoo can comment or who has specific knowledge.
How does Cintoo physically interact with Autodesk Revit or Civil 3D or Microstation on a local Workstation platform? Plug-in? or having to download file and then connect... Or direct connection to Cinto platform hosted Mesh

We integrate Autodesk models (RVT, DWG, NWD, NWC, etc.) through the Cintoo Cloud website. You can either directly upload them or you can link Cintoo Cloud with your Autodesk 360 account/server and you can directly pull the latest models from ACC Docs. As models are updated and saved to the Autodesk Cloud, you can refresh your latest models in Cintoo.

Cintoo has integrations for BIM Track and some other apps for clash detection and pushing items out to your other clash detection programs for tracking as well. As for the Meshing Engine, when you upload the scans through their Cintoo Connect app, I'm not totally sure what it all does from processing the e57 files before uploading, but with the meshing that goes on behind the scenes, it does allow a few more visibility settings when viewing the point clouds through the web. A couple being smooth surface, X-ray, and 3D height map modes.

For the meshing it does behind the scenes, that seems to only be the case when you view the point clouds from a setup's location. As you fly through the 3D point cloud, it acts and feels like a typical point cloud would where you can see individual points. The meshing helps mostly with the setup views and rendering the cloud/mesh very fast.

Hey...
you can view the mesh in 3D space as well. Just make sure the TurboMesh button is ticked. The one between "scan mode" and "3D Navi".

Yup, thank you for pointing that out! Here's a screen capture video showing the differences between the different settings and viewing options for those that aren't using Cintoo. https://www.screencast.com/t/pyTKxeuoF
