3D Scanning

3D SCANNING

We can scan with laser scanners for short, medium and long-range applications. Laser scanners are specifically designed for indoor and outdoor measurements in industries such as architecture, engineering and construction. All capture real-world information that is used in the digital world to analyse, collaborate and make decisions to improve and maintain overall project and product quality. Better building with laser projection technology. Accurate positioning of columns, MEP systems and other components is critical to the success of a construction project.

3D scanning is becoming an increasingly important tool on construction sites for a number of reasons:

  1. Accuracy: 3D scanning provides highly accurate data about the site, which can be used to create detailed and accurate models. This can help identify any discrepancies at an early stage, saving time and money.
  2. Efficiency: It allows data to be collected quickly and efficiently. Traditional data collection methods can be time consuming and labour intensive. With 3D scanning, large areas can be scanned in a short period of time.
  3. Risk Reduction: By providing accurate data, it helps reduce the risk of costly mistakes. It can also help identify potential safety issues, reducing the risk of accidents.
  4. Documentation: 3D scanning provides a detailed record of the site at different stages of construction. This can be useful for future reference or in the event of a dispute.
  5. Quality Control: 3D scanning can be used to monitor the quality of work and ensure that it is in line with design specifications.
  6. Planning and Design: The data from 3D scans can be used to create detailed 3D models, which can be used for planning and design purposes. This can help in visualizing the final product, making changes to the design, and planning the construction process.
  7. Cost Saving: By identifying problems early, improving efficiency and reducing errors, 3D scanning can lead to significant cost savings.

In summary, 3D scanning provides a wealth of information that can be used to improve efficiency, reduce risk and enhance the quality of construction projects.

Why is 3D scanning needed

Capturing the dimensions of a large building or scene with traditional documentation can take days or weeks, and even then the data may be incomplete. But we can create accurate, photorealistic 3D representations of any environment or object in minutes – even in the most extreme outdoor conditions.

Never miss a measurement – the comprehensive, fast and accurate capture of everything within our laser scanner’s line of sight means you never have to return to a jobsite for missing measurements. Pre-registering and viewing your 3D scan data on site gives your teams the confidence they need to complete the job.

I know that knowing the as-built conditions of your project ensures that your designs are right the first time. And regularly and frequently monitoring construction progress in 3D helps you identify problems before they become costly and delay your schedule. Manage large and complex projects with confidence.
