Survey data you can open, share and query.
LumiDB indexes point clouds, rasters, vectors, and project files at petabyte scale, reachable by your customers through sharing, your GIS and CAD tools through connectors, your AI assistant via the MCP, and your workflows through the API.
Hundreds of terabytes of LiDAR, live in your browser
Built for survey firms, asset owners and software teams
“I no longer have to worry about moving huge files around or having the right workstation.”

OFFICIAL PARTNERSHIPS
Works with the tools you already use
Official integrations across GIS, point cloud processing and AI.
Official partner
Stream point clouds live into ArcGIS Pro via I3S, inside the platform your GIS team already works in.
AI integration partner
Pointly’s AI classifies, labels and vectorizes point clouds stored in LumiDB.
Built-in integration with TerraScan
TerraScan ships a direct LumiDB export, so processed data publishes straight to the browser.
AI classification at scale
Flai’s AI classifies LiDAR into 40+ classes at national scale. The classified data is queryable in LumiDB as soon as processing finishes.
THE OLD WAY
Scattered point cloud data
Data is stored across drives, portals, and emails, making it unclear where to search or who to ask. Projects lose days locating the right datasets, delaying inspections and planning.

Paid for once, used once
Survey data is among the most expensive you collect, and the hardest to access. Every reuse needs another round of specialist prep, so most archives only get used by the project that funded the capture.
THE NEW WAY
Upload once. Open, connect and query.
LumiDB is a data warehouse for survey data. Upload once, and clients, GIS tools and software open just the area they need.
Sharing for your customers
Browser-based project workspaces with role-based permissions for every stakeholder. Internal teams, external contractors, and client stakeholders get exactly the access they need without specialist help.
Connectors for your GIS and CAD tools
Live streaming into ArcGIS, QGIS, CAD, and digital twin platforms via I3S, EPT, and Cesium 3D Tiles. Direct publishing from Terrasolid. On-demand LAZ, E57, and glTF when a tool still wants files.
Let your software and AI assistants read it
Query any dataset from your own code through the API, or connect Claude and other AI assistants over MCP.
Why teams choose LumiDB
Accelerated project delivery
We eliminate the manual work required to prepare data, moving from capture to analysis in minutes instead of days. This allows your team to start projects earlier and respond to safety inspection requests immediately.
Automated analysis at scale
Our technology powers computer-led analysis with direct access to your full archive. This enables city-wide measurements without needing more specialists or manual effort.
More people get value from one scan
Clients, colleagues, GIS tools and AI assistants all use the same copy of the data.
Built for the world’s
most demanding scan data
You can use LumiDB for any 3D point cloud project.
Here’s how teams are applying it today:
What our customers say
500 GB opened in a browser
How Eagle Mapping makes the point cloud the star of every delivery
Matt Aquin
IT Manager, Eagle Mapping
Clients usually worked from contours and elevation models because LiDAR files were too large for their computers. Eagle Mapping now hosts the full point cloud on LumiDB, and clients open a 500 GB dataset in a browser at its original density.
Opens in 30 s, down from up to 30 min
How TERRATERRE built its own point cloud viewers on LumiDB
Loïc Botta
R&D Director, TERRATERRE
Large point clouds took up to thirty minutes to open, and only people with the right hardware and software could use them. TERRATERRE now streams indexed point clouds from LumiDB and built two viewers on the API, one for its own team and one for clients.
3 days to integrate
How Infrakit streamlined 3D rendering with LumiDB
Kim Toivonen
Senior Developer, Infrakit
Infrakit replaced a brittle, file-based internal pipeline with LumiDB’s streaming database, retiring thousands of lines of maintenance code in just three days. The integration stabilized massive dataset rendering and delivered sub-second cross-sections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is LumiDB built for?
LumiDB is built for teams managing large-scale spatial data: cities, utilities, transport agencies, mining companies, and developers building on 3D data.
What should I use LumiDB for?
Use LumiDB to store, browse, and stream massive point cloud datasets, and to connect them directly to CAD, GIS, and digital twin platforms. You can also use LumiDB to share data to your team members and customers.
Who is using LumiDB?
Our public references include Eagle Mapping, TERRATERRE, Infrakit and Urban Mobile Robotics, and we have run a pilot with the City of Helsinki. Our technology partner Terrasolid has built support for publishing data from TerraScan directly into LumiDB. We are also partnered with Esri and Pointly.
Can I try LumiDB for free?
Yes. Request free access on our trial page and we will set up your account. If you would rather talk first, use the demo button at the top or bottom of this page and we will help connect LumiDB to your data.
Can LumiDB handle very large datasets?
Yes. LumiDB is built for national-scale archives containing billions of points, with spatial indexing for instant access.
What file formats does LumiDB support?
LumiDB supports LAS, LAZ, and E57 formats. Data is optimized for streaming and remains available as original input files also.
How does LumiDB integrate with other tools?
Export files or stream 3D Tiles to Cesium-based apps, or connect programmatically via the API to CAD, GIS, or BIM systems.
Where is the LumiDB data hosted?
Hosted LumiDB runs on AWS, and can be deployed to other cloud providers. Deployment to your own infrastructure is also possible.
I already use Potree for visualization. Can I still take advantage of LumiDB?
Yes. Potree focuses on visualization; LumiDB adds performance at scale, data management, and integrations for CAD, GIS, and digital twins.
We already use S3 or Azure for storage. Why add another layer?
Cloud storage holds your data; it doesn't make your data reachable. S3 can store a 50 GB scan but can't expose the bridge or pole inside it to a tool that needs that detail. You download the whole file just to check one measurement. LumiDB sits on top of your storage. Your data stays in your bucket, and the warehouse makes every cubic meter of it queryable.
Our data is sensitive. Can it stay inside our own environment?
Yes. The Enterprise tier deploys inside your own private cloud or on-premises. You keep full control of the data, the keys, and the audit trail. The access layer runs where your data already lives, not in a third-party portal.
Will our experts have to learn another portal?
No. LumiDB feeds the tools they already use through open standards and built-in integrations. The portal exists for customer sharing and browser viewing; your team reaches the data inside the tools they already run.
