Twindo (Canvas)

Mobile LiDAR scan-to-BIM/CAD platform that converts iPhone/iPad room scans into editable 3D models

Twindo (formerly Canvas, built by Occipital) lets users scan physical spaces with a LiDAR-equipped iPhone or iPad, or upload floor plans/point clouds, and returns editable, layered 3D CAD and BIM files compatible with Archicad, AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Vectorworks, Chief Architect, and 2020 Design — positioned as a "spatial intelligence" platform for capturing accurate as-built conditions for design, renovation, and facilities work.

$10M Series A-1 round associated with the Canvas-to-Twindo rebrand, backed by Trilogy Equity Partners, Foundry Group, Acquired Wisdom Fund, GC&H Investments, and Frontier VC (consistent with seed_facts: "Series A-1 $10M. Source: Graphisoft" — Graphisoft is a named product/channel partner, not confirmed as an investor in the primary funding coverage reviewed) raised Growth Stage
Founded 2016 (Canvas app launched by Occipital, Inc.; rebranded to Twindo in 2026 — Occipital itself was founded earlier, but the Canvas/Twindo product line dates to the 2016 Structure Sensor-based launch) · 12,000+ professional users, 500,000+ total scans, and 150M+ square feet of interior space modeled per the vendor homepage; 4.8-star U.S. App Store rating

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Architects, designers, and contractors doing renovation or as-built documentation historically had to manually measure and redraw existing spaces by hand or hire a professional laser-scanning service, a slow and error-prone process for capturing accurate existing conditions before design work can begin.

The Solution

Users scan a room with a LiDAR-equipped iPhone/iPad (or upload floor plans/point clouds), and Twindo's proprietary 3D-scanning pipeline — built on 15+ years of Occipital scanning expertise — converts the capture into an editable, layered CAD/BIM file exportable to Archicad, AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Vectorworks, Chief Architect, and 2020 Design, with tiered per-project pricing and a rush-delivery option.

USE CASES

Use Cases

  • · Capturing accurate as-built conditions of residential or commercial interiors before renovation design
  • · Converting a mobile LiDAR scan directly into an editable Archicad/Revit/AutoCAD model
  • · Generating 2D floor plans and measurement reports for real estate, insurance, or facilities documentation
  • · Delegating on-site capture to a field technician via "Invite to Capture" while design work happens elsewhere
