Understanding 3D Laser Scanning
3D laser scanning offers a fast and precise method to capture intricate shapes and environments. This safe, non-contact technology creates highly accurate three-dimensional models with ease.
3D Laser Scanning Capabilities
3D laser scanners efficiently capture high-resolution, three-dimensional data from complex environments, quickly collecting millions of "as-is" data points.
These versatile tools enable businesses to access previously unattainable information, empowering informed decision-making while saving both time and resources.
Our field-registered scans are precisely aligned with your CAD origin (0,0,0), allowing seamless insertion or Xref integration into AutoDesk CAD software.
In the architectural field, scans are often imported directly into Revit or BIM environments. Widely used in estimating, design, and engineering, scans have become a standard tool within the industry. They are particularly valuable for older buildings lacking existing engineering drawings, serving as a crucial starting point for accurate project development.
Laser scanning provides precise "as-built" data and enables the use of clash detection tools to identify interferences between CAD models and point clouds. This technology allows us to detect collisions and pinch points between the existing environment and proposed changes.
Using scans and 3D models, we generate detailed reports highlighting pinch points and hard collisions based on customer standards. This eliminates the need for engineers to manually identify issues on-site, streamlining the process and improving accuracy.
With 3D point cloud data and AutoCAD software, we can generate cross sections at any point within the cloud. These sections enable the creation of precise 2D drawings of existing facility layouts or allow for direct measurement of specific dimensions. This approach eliminates problems like missed measurements, manual errors, and data loss, reducing the need for extra site visits.
The project timeline is streamlined by utilizing a single unified data set accessible to all team members. This ensures everyone understands the precise environmental conditions, enabling them to adapt, schedule, and respond effectively.
Laser scanning provides a centralized, accurate source of truth for all employees to work from efficiently.
