Fukui Computer Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture; Representative: COO Nao Sugita) will release '3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) Output' as a new optional program for its 3D point cloud processing system, 'TREND-POINT', on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.
### Photorealistic Display with 3DGS
**Background**
Since TREND-POINT began supporting 3DGS reading in October 2025, it has received significant market interest. However, there has been a challenge where 3DGS data was limited to use within TREND-POINT, making it difficult to transfer to other software or utilize in subsequent workflows. In response to this, the company has developed and will now provide a new output function.
**Expected Benefits of This Option**
In the 'i-Construction 2.0' initiative announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in 2024, the advancement of data integration and management throughout entire construction projects is positioned as a key measure.
With this option, users will be able to export 3DGS data in PLY format. Additionally, the existing '3D Gaussian Splatting Reading' option will be updated to support more input formats (SOG, LCC, and compressed PLY) and renamed to '3D Gaussian Splatting Input'. These updates are designed to support smooth data flow across investigation, surveying, design, and construction phases. This is expected to enhance visualization, sharing, and verification processes using 3DGS data, contributing to the promotion of DX in the construction industry.
**Release Date**
Tuesday, June 16, 2026
**Pricing**
- 3D Gaussian Splatting Output: 120,000 yen (excluding tax)
- 3D Gaussian Splatting Input: 120,000 yen (excluding tax)
*Note: The previous '3D Gaussian Splatting Reading' will have its name and price revised to '3D Gaussian Splatting Input'.
*3D Gaussian Splatting is a new 3D reconstruction technology that represents scenes using Gaussian distributions placed in 3D space and renders them as 2D images.
*Please note that while TREND-POINT can handle 3DGS data, it does not have the capability to create/generate it.
