    How much can be scanned in a day in Austin?

    It is possible to scan vast amounts of space in a single day. Examples include:

    • The entire engine room of a huge sea going vessel
    • A 10,000 sq. ft luxury home
    • A large 2-story office building
    • A small oil storage terminal
    • Large sections of a gas plant

    Capturing detail is just as important as covering large areas. We help you find the right balance by asking simple questions like, “What’s the smallest object you need to see?” A 1″ pipe requires a different scanning approach than a 4″ one. Our goal is to maximize coverage while ensuring the right level of detail—so you get the most value from each scan.

    Is this your first time using New Austin 3D laser scanning services?
    • Have a well defined area of the areas you would like scanned
    • What problem you’re trying to solve by using laser scanning
    • What type of results you want to receive
    • How quickly you need the result and what your budget is
    • What areas in the scan are important to you and why

    Some applications of Reality Capture in Austin, Texas

    3D Laser scanning Services in Los Angeles

    Renovating an old multi-story building

    When planning and engineering for multi-million dollar projects such as a large building renovation, it is critical that things go right. Austin reality capture 3D scanning up front allows engineers to draw up precise plans and drawings that minimize conflicts during construction. The scan serves as an invaluable resource for many interested parties in such a project.

    When planning and engineering for multi-million dollar projects such as a large building renovation, it is critical that things go right. Austin reality capture 3D scanning up front allows engineers to draw up precise plans and drawings that minimize conflicts during construction. The scan serves as an invaluable resource for many interested parties in such a project.

    Gas plant 3D scanning services

    Update P&ID for a gas plant

    A plant in the oil and gas industry will change over time, that is without question. This results in the P&ID of record ultimately becoming out of date. 3D laser scanning provides a dual benefit of not only providing a way to update P&ID’s but also provides a truly accurate as-built reference 3D model of the plant. We feel that an as-built 3D model combined with smart P&ID’s is the way of the future.

    Design to fit existing pipes, vessels and equipment

    When a processing plant adds a new product line, there is new piping and equipment that needs to be installed. With careful planning and the as-built drawings obtained from doing 3D laser scanning, the new piping designs can be engineered for precise fit, minimizing installation delays due to unforeseen conflicts.

    Measure floor flatness

    3D laser scanning provides a better way of measuring and visualizing floor flatness than the old FL and FF method as measured with a ruler. When you use a 3D scanner you get extremely thorough and accurate results that can be depicted as color maps for a deep understanding of the floor’s shape.

    P2D Plans for Permits

    3D laser scanning is very efficient at capturing floors, walls and ceiling of building interiors as well as anything outdoors. From the scan we can quickly generate plan and elevation views that you can use as a basis for various purposes like obtaining permits.

    Obtain a 3D model of an aircraft

    Scanning an airplane is a fantastic way to capture it’s shape. We can scan interior and exterior and convert it into a CAD model or STL mesh depending on your needs. From small single seaters to airliners, we are the best at aircraft 3D scanning and would be delighted to scan an aircraft for your company.

    3D Laser Scanning - Arrival3d

    As-built reference for boats, ships & vessels

    3D laser scanning can capture the exterior or interior of a sea-going vessel. Any sized boat, ship or vessel can be scanned. For smaller boats (depending on location) this can be done in a day. The scan can be turned into 2D drawings for use by a naval architect, or into 3D solid models for various types of analysis.

    Determine whether something will fit

    You may have a pump that you need to lower into a channel, and you want to see if it will fit before lowering it in and getting stuck. Or perhaps you have a large vault door that hasn’t been opened in years, and you want to know if it will scrape the concrete. 3D scanning can answer these questions so you can proceed with confidence.

    3D scan wind turbines

    Analyze wind turbine towers for defects

    Wind Turbines can be scanned safely and easily from ground level. Scans can be used to analyze and to identify any dents that may be present, and map out their location and depth. Scans can also be used to analyze the tower as a whole, and determine whether it has been structurally compromised after a failure event.

    Create a digital twin

    Imagine walking around a digital twin model of your plant, with the clouds moving in the breeze and the equipment so real it seems like you could touch it. That is the experience we can provide with your 3D model created from 3D laser scanning.
