No matter the purpose of the 3D laser scanning operation, we ensure all scans are conducted in a safe and productive manner while efficiently producing all required data with unparalleled Quality.
3D laser scanning is a technology that uses lasers to capture the physical dimensions and features of an object or space in three dimensions. Typically, the scanner emits a laser beam and then measures the time it takes for the beam to return after hitting an object, calculating the distance based on the speed of light. This process is repeated hundreds of thousands of times per second, creating a dense ‘point cloud’ of data that can be used to generate a highly accurate 3D model.
Many industries can benefit from 3D laser scanning services, including construction, architecture, heritage preservation, urban planning, industrial design and manufacturing. The technology provides highly accurate measurements that can be used to create detailed 3D models, which can be used in planning, design, inspection, preservation and many other applications.
The accuracy of 3D laser scanners can vary depending on specific site conditions, but is typically very high. Our 3D scanners have the ability capture measurements with an accuracy of ~2 millimeters. This high level of accuracy makes 3D laser scanning a valuable tool for applications that require precise measurements, such as pre-fabrication and as-builts.
While 3D laser scanning has many advantages, there can be some limitations and challenges. For example, the technology is expensive and requires specialized skills to operate and interpret the data. Scanning reflective or transparent surfaces can also be challenging, as the laser beam may not return accurately. In addition, large or complex projects may require hundreds or even thousands of scans, which need to be accurately aligned to create a complete point cloud.
Fortunately, we are certified and trained to deal with these issues.
