3D laser scanning
Laser scanning captures a precise three-dimensional point cloud and digital model of the object with millimetre accuracy. It provides the basis for further design, surveying and analysis in construction and engineering.
What is 3D laser scanning?
3D laser scanning is a precise survey method in which the scanner reads hundreds of thousands of points per second and builds a three-dimensional point cloud of the object. The result is a complete, scaled digital record of the existing situation with millimetre accuracy — the object as it is today, not as it was on the drawings.
Scanning is contact-free and does not interrupt the daily operation of the building. It works for a single room just as well as for an entire building, production plant, engineering structure or site.
What you receive
- A point cloud of the object (E57, RCP, LAS and other formats);
- An accurate basis for 2D plans, sections and façades;
- Data for developing a 3D or BIM model;
- The ability to take measurements later, when the object is no longer accessible.
When laser scanning helps
- Reconstruction and rebuilding projects with no up-to-date documentation;
- Recording heritage and historic buildings;
- Surveying production facilities and utility networks;
- Construction progress control and volume calculations.
