3DF Zephyr: Professional Photogrammetry for 3D Reconstruction
Turn photos, video, and laser scans into accurate 3D models, point clouds, orthophotos, and DEMs. Now with Gaussian Splatting, faster processing, and satellite map integration in version 9.0. Geo Drone Solutions is an authorised reseller of 3DF Zephyr in Australia.
Professional Photogrammetry for Every Workflow
Geo Drone Solutions is an authorised reseller of 3DF Zephyr in Australia. 3DF Zephyr is the professional photogrammetry software solution by 3Dflow, designed to tackle any 3D reconstruction and scanning challenge—no matter which camera sensor, drone, or laser scanner you use.
3DF Zephyr automatically processes pictures and video frames from any image format, even mixing data from different cameras in a single project, giving users complete freedom in their acquisition workflow. The only on-site requirement is good image overlap.
A user-friendly and streamlined workflow enables both professionals and beginners to turn pictures into stunning, accurate 3D models, with full control over every step of the reconstruction process.

What's New in 3DF Zephyr 9.0
Released July 2026, version 9.0 introduces Gaussian Splatting, faster photoconsistency, satellite map overlays, and a long list of workflow improvements. Available across all paid licence tiers, including Lite.
Gaussian Splatting
Import massive survey polygons and split them into smaller sub-areas with guaranteed grid alignment across the entire site. No more overlapping errors or data misalignment between flights.
Unified Selection Tools
All selection subtools (By Hand, Plane, Colour, Points, Triangles) now use a consistent interface. Volume of interest selection is available across all methods.
Faster Photoconsistency
Processing speed for photoconsistency has been significantly improved when working with large point clouds, reducing wait times on demanding projects.
ESRI Tiled Mesh Export
Export to ESRI i3s tiled mesh format for integration with ArcGIS and other GIS platforms. Convert to custom reference systems on export for any object type.
Satellite Map Tiles
Satellite and hybrid map data can now be loaded directly into the Zephyr viewport, giving you real-world geographic context alongside your 3D reconstruction.
Improved GCP/Check Point Reporting
Clarified terminology and accuracy handling for Ground Control Points and Check Points. PDF reports now clearly separate GCP and Check Point statistics.

HIGH ACCURACY
A high level of accuracy is delivered without compromising processing speed or system reliability. Use GPS/RTK/PPK coordinates with ground control points to achieve survey-grade results with full georeferencing capabilities.
COMPREHENSIVE TOOLKIT
The most comprehensive toolkit in photogrammetry software, enabling processing, editing, integration, and export in one solution. From orthophotos to point clouds, meshes to CAD drawings—all in a single application.
3DF Scarlet: LiDAR Data Registration
Laser scans can be processed in 3DF Scarlet, the LiDAR data registration suite included with 3DF Zephyr. Seamlessly integrated with Zephyr, Scarlet bridges photogrammetry and laser scanning so you can work with a wider range of data from a single platform.
-
Native file format support (Faro, Riegl, Zoller + Fröhlich, DotProduct, Stonex)
-
Three registration methods with multi-ICP optimisation
-
Scan colouring and scan-to-mesh tools
-
Full integration with 3DF Zephyr workspace
Professional Deliverables
Orthophoto Generation
Generate orthomosaics and orthophotos from sparse/dense point clouds, LiDAR scans, or meshes. Export to GeoTIFF, PNG, JPG, BMP, and KML formats with AutoCAD script file options.
Vector Outputs & CAD Drawing
Polylines/splines free-hand drawing, polylines/surfaces extraction, cross/track sections, contour lines and breaklines generation. Export to DXF, DGN, SHP, and TXT formats.
Digital Elevation Models
Generate DSMs and DTMs with 3DF Zephyr and open or modify them directly inside the software using the integrated DEM viewer. Draw elevation profiles and export to DXF, SVG, and PDF formats.
Measurements & Analysis
Define any distance, angle, area (even on selected 3D model regions) and perform volume calculations. Ideal for stockpile monitoring and mining applications.
