    3D scanning is a method of capturing the exact shape and dimensions of physical objects or environments and converting them into detailed digital models. It’s commonly used to document buildings, industrial sites, equipment, and other structures with high precision.

    How It Works:

    1. Capturing Data:
      A 3D scanner emits laser beams or structured light that reflects off surfaces. The time or angle of the reflected signal is measured to determine distances.

    2. Creating a Point Cloud:
      The scanner collects millions of individual measurements, known as a point cloud—a set of 3D data points that represent the surface geometry of the scanned object or space.

    3. Modeling the Data:
      The point cloud is processed using specialized software to produce deliverables such as 2D CAD drawings, 3D models, BIM files, or digital twins, depending on the project’s requirements.

    Where It’s Used:

    3D scanning is used in architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, historical preservation, oil and gas, and other sectors for tasks like renovation planning, as-built documentation, and site analysis.

    Pricing depends on factors like project size, complexity, scanning technology, and data processing requirements. Contact us for a custom quote based on your needs.

    Satisfaction Guaranteed!
    If we fail to deliver the result that we promised, and we can’t make it right, you don’t pay.

    What is the cost of 3D laser scanning per square foot?

    The cost typically ranges from $0.05 to $1.00 per square foot, depending on the level of detail, project complexity, and deliverables like point clouds, CAD, or BIM models.

    Our 3D scanning technology delivers high-precision results with typical accuracy ranging from ±1 mm to ±6 mm, depending on the scanner used and site conditions. We utilize the highly precise, Swiss-made Leica RTC360 and other survey grade instruments. We follow rigorous QA/QC processes to ensure reliable and repeatable accuracy. Whether you need as-built documentation, BIM models, or CAD drawings, we tailor the scan resolution and setup to meet your project’s specific tolerance requirements.

    We know you have a choice when you scan. Our 3D laser scanning services rise above our competitors when you consider  that we offer: 

    • Top Shelf Equipment: Our scanning instruments are modern state-of-the-art instruments that are always serviced and without flaw. 
    • Annual Calibration: Laser scanners can go for many years without receiving their manufacturer-recommended calibration, so many companies skip this step. We don’t. Its a lot of trouble, its expensive, and it takes a scanner offline every year, but we do it anyway to ensure you get the best possible result every time. 
    • Quality Checking: Nothing gets delivered without at least one thorough QC. 
    • Nationwide Service: Our company is structured to be able to respond to the 3D scanning need where it is at. If you have scanning needs in different states, we’re the right partner for you. 
    • Relationship Focused: What is important to us is building a relationship with our clients so that they turn to us for people and technology they can trust.

    We utilize a diverse fleet of cutting-edge LiDAR scanning equipment to suit the unique demands of each project:

    • Terrestrial 3D Laser Scanning: Ideal for detailed interior and exterior building scans, complex industrial facilities, and intricate architectural structures.
    • Aerial (Drone/UAV) Laser Scanning: Perfect for large-scale site surveys, topography mapping, infrastructure projects, and inaccessible areas, offering a bird’s-eye view with high accuracy.
    • Mobile Laser Scanning: Efficient for rapid data collection across vast areas like roads, railway lines, and long corridors, capturing continuous data quickly.
