3D Scanning, Modelling & BIM
The scan-to-BIM process translates the visual, spatial appearance of a building or site and organizes it into a legible model filled with actionable data in a matter of hours. The scan-to-BIM workflow begins with a laser scanner affixed to a stationary tripod, and moved from place to place, or the scanner can be clipped to a person as they move around a site. The laser scanner records points in space corresponding to the geometry of the site—including walls, doors, the ground plane, apertures, and more.
The scan-to-BIM process can improve speed, accuracy, and workflow across all design and construction processes. Potential clients can use scan-to-BIM workflows to assess sites for development or buildings for renovation. Teams can use scan-to-BIM workflows to select an ideal site from a larger parcel and can determine how to manage factors such as zoning regulations (access to parking or transit, height limitations, and so forth) before engaging a designer. Architects and designers can use the models to craft designs using high-quality data on decades-old buildings. And builders can use the models to monitor construction progress to hew closely to the design.
The benefits:
- Speed
- Accuracy
- Realistic Look
- Remove Human Error
- Accuracy
- Less field Revisits
