start your project right with a 3d laser scan in denver

Our expert scanning team will work closely with you to clearly understand your needs and make sure that the scan scope includes everything that is needed to set you up for success.

Today’s lidar 3d laser scanners are faster and more accurate than ever, allowing us to take more scans and deliver accuracy down to 1mm. Hundreds or even thousands of individual scan locations can be taken of your facility to make sure that we get complete and thorough coverage.

Scanning can be done indoor or outdoor, day or night and can be done in operational facilities where people are working.

Automate the process of creating floorplans

2D drawings can be easily created from 3D scan for reasonable cost. In a single day, one of our highly experienced reality capture technicians can cover many thousands of square feet, possibly tens of thousands or more depending on conditions.

Individual scans are accurate to 1mm or better, so you can expect high accuracy with your as-built plan views.

Is this your first time using Denver 3D laser scanning services?

Here are a few things to think about when considering using laser scanning:

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

Denver 3D Laser scanning services solve problems like:

Easily obtain an as-built CAD model where none existed before
Use reality capture to obtain a 3D point cloud
Analyze whether something is flat, such as a floor or wall, or round such as a tank
Create a full set of 2D and 3D drawings
Create an As-Built Revit model for building renovation
Create a Solidworks model for manufacturing
Plan the floor layout during a renovation or restoration
Capture the exact shape of something to analyze it for flaws

How much can be scanned in a day in Denver?

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

But capturing the necessary level of detail is equally important to covering large areas. That is why it is important to optimize the scanning process to get the most coverage possible in a day while being careful to capture the necessary detail. We can help you determine the necessary level of detail by asking simple questions such as “What is the smallest object you need to see in the scan?” Another way of asking is, “What is the smallest pipe or conduit diameter that you want to appear in your CAD model?” If the answer is 1″, the scanning strategy must be different than if you answered 4″. Our commitment to you is to strike the best balance between coverage and detail so you get the most scanning for your dollars.

Some applications of 3D Laser scanning and reality Capture in Denver:

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. Denver 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.

Obtain as-built models of a power plant

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.

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.

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.

Track construction progress with photos

Panoramic images captured from a 3D camera can quickly and thoroughly document a construction site, making it easy for you to track progress and manage teams more effectively.
