10 Critical Advantages of 3D Laser Scanning

01

Accuracy

  • Long-distance 3D laser scanning is accurate to 1mm or better
  • Captures high-density spatial data for detailed representations of objects and spaces
  • Scan accuracy is consistent, allowing for reliable critical measurements and monitoring 
02

Speed

  • Scan up to 2 Million points per second
  • Reduced survey and inspection time
  • Faster project planning due to accurate as-built records
  • Rapid turnaround of deliverable 3D models
03

Safety

  • Reduces the need for exposure to hazardous environments

  • Take accurate, detailed measurements without physical contact with the target area, minizing the risk of accidents and injuries

  • Allows for remote data collection, enabling safety assessments to be conducted from a safe distance

  • Less need for scaffolding

  • Reduced time on site

04

Portability

  • Small footprint
  • Non-invasive, unobtrusive
  • Can be taken to remote sites
  • Can scan hard-to-reach areas
05

Flexibility

  • Wide operating distance range (0.3m to 130m)
  • Large amount of data collected
  • Captures complex environments
  • Data useful for future projects
06

Cost Savings

  • Reduced surveying and measurement time, leading to lower labor costs
  • Faster project completion times, reducing operational costs and allowing for faster revenue generation
  • Enhanced project planning, which can reduce material waste and optimize use of resources
  • Facilitates more accurate budgeting and resource allocation by providing reliable data
  • Reduced need for site visits and manual measurements, saving on travel expenses and time
  • Reduced brownfield project cost
07

Risk Mitigation

  • Improved accuracy in measurements, minimizing errors and rework expenses
  • General reduction in overall engineering and construction errors
  • Early detection of design clashes, which can prevent costly mistakes during construction or manufacturing
  • Rapid and accurate inspection
  • Improved schedule adherance
  • Smaller crews with fewer repeat trips and less on-site time
08

Documentation

  • Accurate as-built documentation for renovation and retrofit projects
  • Precise measurements for the development of detailed 3D models
  • Efficient and detailed site analysis for construction planning and design
  • Comprehensive documentation of historical or culturally significant structures
  • Streamlining of facility management through detailed spatial data acquisition
  • Provides an accurate digital record of the building’s current state
  • Facilitates efficient planning for maintenance and future upgrades by providing a precise digital twin
09

Collaboration

  • Improved communication and collaboration among project stakeholders, regardless of location
  • Facilitates better understanding among project teams through accurate 3D models, which leads to better decision-making and fewer misunderstandings and misinterpretations.
  • Provides seamless integration of data across all stages of the project
  • Enhances the ability for teams to track project progress in real-time
  • Encourages collaborative problem-solving by providing a common reference point
  • Gives teams the ability to quickly and proactively address and resolve issues
  • Increases transparency and trust by allowing clients and stakeholders to visualize the project’s progress and final outcome
  • Enhances client satisfaction through regular updates and clear communication of project milestones
10

Visualization

  • Provides precise and detailed 3D representations of buildings and infrastructure using piont cloud data which can be converted into Autodesk Revit for BIM modeling, solidworks, or other popular 3D CAD formats
  • Allows for the creation of Digital Twins – precise digital replicas of physical structures that enable real-time monitoring and simulation of building performance
  • Offers immersive virtual walkthroughs for better spatial representation and planning
  • Helps stakeholders visualize and assess the project environment before actual construction
  • Creates impressive visual presentations for clients and investors
  • Strengthens marketing efforts with high-quality, realistic visualizations of the project
