integrated into factory designs using Tecnomatix Process Simulate software.\u00a0The point cloud is easily inserted and lightweight.\u00a0It can be manipulated in Process Simulate by turning points on and off for better visualization, collision detection, or measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps you to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visualize the assembly process in the real
