The technology’s applications result in more efficient projects and our team of experts will be there to lead and support your vision every step of the way. Whether you’re new to 3D scanning technology or an expert our team will guide your project from the first consultation to your project’s completion. Our interdisciplinary team of experts pair ingenuity and professionalism to reimagine the breadth and scope of 3D laser scanning deliverables.

Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning Integration

3D laser scanning is the fastest, most accurate way to provide a digital representation of an object or environment’s geometric shape and dimensions. A common term for this process in the Architectural, Engineering, Design, and Manufacturing world is “reality capture”. Using 3D laser scanners to capture highly accurate surface data points (a point cloud), along with high definition imagery (via integrated cameras) of an object or environment results in an informational digital representation of that surface.

Quickly Gather Data

The speed of gathering data points through 3D scanning has repeated been referenced as one of the best benefits to implementing the technology in your project workflow.

Plan With Precision

The data point cloud received from 3D laser scans are incredibly precise. Scanning enables our clients to improve their productivity and workflows, while enhancing speed in design, fabrication, construction, and maintenance.

Reduce Labor Costs

3D scanners provide an accurate, digital representation of any project. The intent is to reduce labor costs associated with surveying, design, and documentation.

It’s important to remember that depending upon the job that you’re conducting or the goal and scope of the project, there are a myriad of 3D Laser Scanners on the market. Some have been designed with innovative technology for use on the top of vehicles and in hard to reach places while others are designed to be used in a stable environment on solid ground.

Point Cloud

A 3D Laser Scanner uses LIDAR technology to capture data in a wide variety of settings. There are very few surfaces or objects that can escape the lens of a 3D Laser Scanner … they are very diverse and multifaceted. The scanner literally scans an object, building or environment and takes millions of coordinates into account. Each coordinate is made up of three points (x, y and z) that are combined together to form what is known in the industry as a point cloud.

Each of these coordinates, also known as Northing (y), Easting (x) and Elevation (z) are used to create a point cloud. With point cloud data we are able to obtain the exact measurement from any point on the point cloud to any other point.
