Reality Capture Applications

3D Laser Scanning Applications

From renovation and MEP coordination to industrial piping and video projection mapping, we capture the geometry your team needs and prepare the agreed point clouds, drawings or models for its workflow.

Where reality capture fits

Start with the surfaces, systems or interfaces your team needs to understand. We define the capture scope and deliverable around the work that follows.

Existing Conditions

Establish a coordinated baseline where drawings are missing, incomplete or out of date.

What is captured: Room geometry, openings, structure, major fixed elements and other visible conditions within the marked limits.
Who uses it: Architects, engineers, owners and project teams establishing a field-verified basis for design.
Next step: Mark the capture boundary, identify critical dimensions and confirm whether the team needs a point cloud, drawings or a model.

Renovation & Retrofit

Capture the existing geometry and interfaces that proposed alterations must work around.

What is captured: Alteration zones, adjacent construction, floor and ceiling conditions, structural interfaces and proposed tie-in locations.
Who uses it: Architects, engineers, contractors and owners planning renovation, adaptive reuse or equipment replacement.
Next step: Identify demolition and new-work limits, nearby constraints, inaccessible areas and the deliverable the design team will use.

MEP Coordination

Preserve routed services, equipment and structural relationships in congested spaces.

What is captured: Visible ductwork, piping, conduit, equipment, structure, above-ceiling routes, clearances and tie-in locations.
Who uses it: MEP engineers, trade contractors, VDC coordinators and fabricators coordinating new or modified systems.
Next step: Define the systems and elevations that matter, above-ceiling access, proposed routes, tie-ins and required model categories.

Mechanical Rooms

Document dense equipment rooms where isolated field dimensions lose critical spatial context.

What is captured: Equipment footprints, pumps, chillers or boilers where present, valves, piping connections, supports and service clearances.
Who uses it: Facility engineers, MEP designers, equipment vendors and contractors planning replacement or retrofit work.
Next step: Identify equipment being retained or replaced, connection points, service zones and the required drawing or model output.

Industrial Piping

Record process piping and equipment connections in the context of the surrounding plant environment.

What is captured: Visible process piping, pipe racks, valves, supports, equipment connections and surrounding retrofit constraints.
Who uses it: Plant engineers, piping designers, fabricators and maintenance or capital-project teams.
Next step: Define the lines and equipment in scope, operating and access constraints, planned tie-ins and the coordination or fabrication use.

Facility Documentation

Create an organized existing-condition reference for operations, maintenance and future capital work.

What is captured: Selected rooms, equipment areas, circulation, fixed assets and visible building or service geometry needed for ongoing reference.
Who uses it: Facility managers, owners, maintenance planners and teams preparing future modification projects.
Next step: Prioritize areas and assets, agree on naming and organization, and choose a viewer, drawing, point-cloud or model handoff.

Construction Documentation

Record installed work at a defined milestone so the team can review what was visible on that date.

What is captured: Selected structure, MEP rough-ins, openings, embeds and adjacent conditions that remain visible during the scheduled capture.
Who uses it: General contractors, trade partners, design teams and owners reviewing field progress or installed conditions.
Next step: Set the milestone date, exact systems and areas, comparison questions, file organization and required documentation package.

Fabrication & Fit-Up

Verify the field geometry and installation interfaces that prefabricated work must match.

What is captured: Connection geometry, mounting surfaces, openings, surrounding obstructions and installation interfaces within the fit-up zone.
Who uses it: Fabricators, detailers, specialty contractors and installers coordinating components with existing construction.
Next step: Identify mating surfaces and control dimensions, required tolerances, coordinate and file requirements, and conditions needing field verification.

Video Projection Mapping

We capture projection surfaces as coordinated 3D geometry for content design and previsualization.

What is captured: Visible facades, interior surfaces, stage sets and scenic elements, including edges, openings and changes in depth.
Who uses it: Projection designers, creative studios, AV integrators and event production teams.
Next step: Identify the projection surfaces, confirm access and required geometric detail, and agree on the units, coordinate system and file format with the production team.

Video Projection Mapping is part of our family of brands, serving projection studios, scenic fabricators and AV teams.
