Arrival 3D is the leading provider of 3D laser scanning services in San Francisco, CA Massachusetts, delivering unmatched accuracy and expertise on every project. Our highly trained Project Managers use state-of-the-art equipment, including the Leica Scan Station P-Series and Leica RTC360 3D laser scanners, capable of capturing up to 2 million data points per second with 2–4 millimeters of precision.
In a city like San Francisco, where construction speed is fast, having accurate data saves both time and money. With ARRIVAL 3D 3D scanning
All this happens without any disruption—neither production nor operations.
We are trusted by industry leaders because we have proven ourselves throughout projects by focusing on desired results.
When planning and engineering for multi-million dollar projects such as a large building renovation, it is critical that things go right. Boston 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.

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 This results in the P&ID of record ultimately becoming out of date. 3D laser scanning provides a dual benefit of not only providing a way to update P&ID’s but also provides a truly accurate as-built reference 3D model of the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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
