Export formats

Nearly every target format.
From one pipeline.

You send drone images, we deliver the output in the format your downstream process actually needs – through our Blender-based export pipeline.

The key SEO and conversion question on this page is not only "which file format?", but "which downstream workflow should it support?". That is why the formats are grouped by real usage: PV planning, CAD as-built work, orthophotos, viewers, and custom exports.

Crane planner handoffs

Site models for CRANEbee and Liebherr Crane Planner 2.0.

For crane planning, the value is not a pretty mesh. Teams need usable surroundings: roof edges, setup areas, access routes, obstructions, height references, and a format the next planner can actually open.

Important: Voxelia provides spatial planning context. Lift approval, crane engineering, load charts, support reactions, and ground-bearing checks remain with qualified crane specialists.
