3D LASER SCANNING

What Is 3D Scanning?

3D point cloud (laser) scanning is an instrument that captures the precise shape and dimensions of physical objects or environments whilst out in the field by collecting millions of data points using laser scanning (LiDAR) or photogrammetry. Each point represents a specific location in space, forming a dense "cloud" that accurately models the scanned subject in three dimensions. This data can then be processed to create detailed 3D models, digital twins, or as-built documentation 

 

Capabilities of 3D Scanning Surveys

  1. High Precision and Accuracy
    Our laser scanner can capture data with millimetre-level accuracy, making them ideal for applications requiring detailed measurements, such as architectural design, engineering analysis, and quality control.

  2. Rapid Data Collection
    Our scanner allows for the quick acquisition of vast amounts of data, significantly reducing the time and resources required compared to traditional surveying methods.

  3. Non-Contact Technology
    3D scanning is non-invasive, meaning it can capture data without physically touching the object or environment. This is particularly useful for scanning delicate, hazardous, or hard-to-reach areas.

  4. Comprehensive Documentation
    The resulting point clouds provide a complete digital record of the scanned object or environment, which is invaluable for historical preservation, facility management, and future renovations.

  5. Enhanced Visualization
    The point cloud data we produce can be used to create realistic 3D visualizations, aiding in design, analysis, and communication of complex structures and spaces.

  6. Versatility Across Industries
    Our scanner is applicable in various fields, including architecture, construction, manufacturing, geospatial surveying, and entertainment, providing tailored solutions for each sector.

 

In summary, 3D point cloud laser scanning offers a powerful and efficient means of capturing detailed spatial data, facilitating accurate modelling, and enhancing decision-making processes across multiple industries.
