Arrival 3D, Inc. was founded by Lanny Smith in 2011. What started out as a small Oklahoma-based, one-man operation grew to be a multi-location team of 3D technology experts.

Envisioning something better

Like most great companies, Arrival 3D, Inc. came from humble beginnings. In 2002, Smith was a telecom contractor. He used databases to map out offices and create drawings of equipment. At the time, Microsoft Excel was enough to get the job done, however, Smith envisioned a better way. Smith had heard about 3D scanning (it was just breaking into the engineering industry by the late ‘90s), and Smith decided to take a chance on it. He created a database to create virtual visualization plants and got his first job, a power plant in Louisiana. After his first few 3D scanning jobs, Smith decided it was time to invest. Given his long-time background in telecom engineering, control systems, and software development, Lanny was in a unique position to combine his passion for systems design with recent advances in 3D software technology to meet the challenges faced by industry today.
