Autodesk ReCap Pro

What Autodesk ReCap Pro is

Autodesk ReCap Pro is paid software for point-cloud processing and mesh reconstruction, with Windows desktop and web or cloud workflows. It accepts data from terrestrial laser scanners, handheld or SLAM scanners, and wearable or SLAM scanners. Point-cloud tools and mesh reconstruction are listed, while real-time capture is not available. Export formats include E57, PTS, RCP/RCS, FBX, OBJ, RCM, GeoTIFF, NWC, DAE, GLTF/GLB, IFC4.0, RCMR, and STL. API access is available for connected workflows. ReCap Pro has no free plan, and its pricing note lists a 30-day trial; no purchase price is provided here. Supported platforms are Windows desktop and web/cloud workflows. Autodesk was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA. The combination of scanner inputs, reconstruction tools, extensive export formats, and API access makes ReCap Pro relevant to teams organizing captured spatial data across desktop and cloud processes, but not to users seeking real-time capture.

Who it suits

ReCap Pro suits users working with scanner data who need point-cloud tools, mesh reconstruction, broad export options, or API access. It is intended for Windows and web/cloud workflows rather than real-time capture.

Limits

There is no free plan. The listed trial lasts 30 days.

Verdict

ReCap Pro focuses on processing captured scan data, reconstruction, and format exchange across Windows and web workflows. Its lack of real-time capture and absent listed purchase price are important considerations.
