Why do you need a 3D model?
Over these years of our work, we have gathered extensive experience in the use of laser scanning, ranging from architectural measurements, power lines vectorization, and ending archaeological surveying. Animation and visualization are the main results that our projects have formed.
Those, in their turn, have been used for inspection or surveying purposes, collecting 3D data in different digital model formats. Usually, the data is used for completing the necessary construction or a prototype. Additionally, a comparative analysis of the scanned object might be needed. Our technologies allow us to recreate almost any object or area into a 3D model.
If you ask us, how large or small should the scanned objects be, the answer is pretty easy. The sky is the limit, in a literal way. Our LiDAR drones can fly around a section of an area that needs to be scanned, scanning more than 40 hectares of the surface area in 20 minutes.
We have scanned 1000+ hectares via LiDAR mounted on a drone!
Our terrain laser scanners from FARO Technologies allowed us to capture different types of buildings and equipment such as cisterns. We've also been able to scan small objects with our QuantumS FaroArm.
Okay, I get, a 3D model, fancy! But how is it helpful?
The result of a scanning survey with the aforementioned terrestrial and aerial scanners is a point cloud. Point clouds provide a wealth of analytic opportunities within a prompt time.
What is it?
In the most basic terms, a point cloud refers to a set of data points in a coordinate system. Point cloud data is then brought into a common reference system where the data is merged into a complete model via the process of alignment or registration. This process can occur during the scan itself (in the case of high-end 3D scanners) or as a post-processing step.
We provide processing services, so you get an object model and data suitable for your tasks in programs that are convenient for you (ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, Revit, 3DS Max, Unreal).
Phew, informative!
You see, the data you're receiving is a digital twin of your existing site or object, which means you have that backup in case you need to gather more material for your project. Better yet, you won't require to visit the site as everything is already captured! And more to it, there are various deliverables that you can get from the data.
That data can be used for creating 3D models, which are very helpful to architects, designers, engineers. You can re-model, have an impact on the project execution, avoid rework and requests for information, provide the best visualization that speaks more than words.
Moreover, if you work on an international scale, this might be a barrier-breaker.
Unlike 2D designs which may need clear instructions on how to deduce design information, 3D designs are almost instruction-less and without any language barriers. It is natural for any human to understand 3D design and experience the virtual reality it creates. It is always easier and more beneficial when things get closer to reality.
We are proficient at processing point clouds and delivering dimensionally accurate, measurable, and shareable datasets for you and your team.
Still having doubts?
Feel free to reach our LinkedIn page or write me in regards to your project, so that our team provides you and your team with a shared knowledge source on your project for informed decision-making.
More doubts?
We can save you time and money, providing data of a much higher quality. I am sure some of your A-class competitors already use the laser scanning technologies and use the data for various purposes, including creation of 3D models.
