ASTM E57 Data Exchange Format Update

As many of you know the ASTM E57.04 Data Interoperability subcommittee is making excellent progress with the adoption phase of the standard process. A number of the leading vendors have announced that they have shipping point cloud software which supports the standard. These vendors are listed on the project team’s website along with sample data files that they have generated.

We are now at the stage where we need you, the end user to begin to specify the use of E57 as a requirement on your next project. This will insure that the vendors continue to support the standard and for those who have not announced they will realize that unfortunately they are going to be left out.

The subcommittee wants to thank all of the people who continue to support our work. We are always looking for new members if you are in a position to give back to the industry that is supporting you.
