Direct Answer
What is 3D laser scanning?
3D laser scanning is a field-capture method that records the visible geometry of a physical environment as spatial data. Multiple scan positions can be registered into a coordinated point cloud for review, measurement and downstream project workflows.
02
What can be captured
Project scope may include building interiors and exteriors, equipment rooms, piping, structural surroundings, construction areas, industrial spaces and other visible site geometry.
- Existing buildings
- Mechanical rooms and routed services
- Industrial equipment environments
- Construction and renovation areas
03
Possible deliverables
Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables may include registered point clouds, existing-condition documentation, Scan-to-BIM information, CAD-ready information, 3D models or other defined outputs.
Common Questions
Project questions, answered directly.
What information is needed for a laser scanning quote?
Useful inputs include the project location, the areas to be captured, site access conditions, the intended use of the data, the desired deliverables and the required timeline. Drawings, markups and representative site images can help define scope.
What affects project cost and schedule?
The physical size and complexity of the environment, access and safety constraints, required scan coverage, travel, processing needs, modeling scope, deliverable requirements and schedule all affect the project plan.
What affects laser scanning accuracy?
Instrument configuration, range, surface characteristics, environmental conditions, scan geometry, registration method, control requirements and the intended use of the data all matter. Appropriate expectations should be defined for each project rather than treated as a universal number.
