3D Laser Scanning for the Built Environment
3D laser scanning (3DLS) is an essential tool for both new constructions and reconstructions of buildings, offering unparalleled accuracy, speed, and extensive data capture capabilities.
This technology allows for the comprehensive measurement of all visible surfaces, even in complex and irregular formations. The remote measurement principle of 3DLS enables the digitization of challenging or inaccessible areas and details.
We provide 3D measurements and modeling for existing public and private buildings throughout construction, reconstruction, or renovation projects. Our modeling process follows BIM standards using BIM modeling tools, such as Autodesk Revit.
3D Laser Scanning Products
- 3D Point Cloud: This is the immediate output of our measurements, providing a digitized representation of the scanned object’s geometry and color.
- 2D Plans: Utilizing the 3D point cloud, we produce highly detailed plans with millimeter precision. Because the object is measured in 3D and as a whole, we can create 2D drawings from any cross-section or direction. We typically produce architectural and construction plans of existing conditions in *.dwg format, standardized according to client specifications.
- 3D CAD Models & BIM: We develop and deliver models of existing conditions and facilities in BIM, CAD, and “mesh” software formats. For BIM modeling, we use Autodesk Revit, adhering to client templates or creating custom ones based on the required level of detail (LOD) and geographic standards.
- Visualization: Using 3D scan data and 360° photos, we create interactive visualizations for various media devices, including VR glasses, enabling an immersive viewing experience.
