Accurate CAD Documentation for Product Design, Architecture, and Infrastructure
At Arrival 3D, we convert physical objects and buildings into CAD files for reverse engineering, manufacturing, as-built documentation, and heritage building conservation, with 3D laser scanning and point cloud to CAD conversion process. Our services are used in product design and the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry for mechanical part reconstruction, architectural as-built modeling, or product design modifications.
Our LiDAR Scan to CAD drafting services provide highly detailed and industry-standard 3D CAD models and 2D CAD drawings including site plans, architectural plans, sections, and elevations in formats such as STEP, IGES, DWG, DXF, and SolidWorks.

📌 We use high-resolution 3D laser scanners to capture the shape, geometry, and surface details of the object.
📌 The raw point cloud data is cleaned, aligned, and converted into a polygonal mesh (STL, OBJ, PLY).
📌 The scanned mesh is refined and converted into an accurate 3D CAD model using parametric or NURBS-based modeling.
📌 The final CAD model is validated, optimized, and exported in the required format (STEP, IGES, DWG, SolidWorks, Revit).
✔Manufacturing & Engineering – Reverse engineering and part reconstruction for machinery and tools.
✔ Architecture & Construction – As-built modeling, Scan to BIM, and renovation planning.
✔ Automotive & Aerospace – Component design, quality inspection, and digital archiving.
✔ Medical & Healthcare – Prosthetic design, custom implants, and medical equipment CAD conversion.
✔ Consumer Products & Industrial Design – Product development, prototyping, and 3D printing preparation.
To help you better understand our Scan to CAD solutions, we’ve compiled answers to the most commonly asked questions.
We use high-resolution 3D laser scanning to achieve sub-millimeter accuracy (±0.1mm to ±0.5mm depending on project requirements). Accuracy depends on scan quality, object size, and complexity.
Project timelines depend on object size, complexity, and required CAD detail.
Rush services are available upon request.
Scan to Plan is a subset of Scan to CAD, where 3D scans are converted into 2D floor plans, elevations, and section drawings. It is mainly used for architecture, construction, and real estate documentation, whereas Scan to CAD produces fully editable 3D models.
Yes! We specialize in point cloud to CAD conversion, turning laser scan data into 3D CAD files. We process STL, PLY, OBJ, and E57 point clouds and convert them into STEP, IGES, DWG, or Revit files.
Pricing varies based on object complexity, required accuracy, and CAD modeling details. Contact us for a custom quote based on your project needs.
At Arrival 3D, we provide highly accurate digital representations of buildings for architects, builders, engineers, and developers. Our Scan to BIM and Asset Tagging solutions ensure precision, clarity, and efficiency, delivering point clouds, 2D CAD drawings, and Revit models for seamless project execution.
