About the technology
3D scanning is a process of capturing and creating a digital model of a physical building using specialized equipment and software. The process typically involves using a 3D laser scanner to capture information of the building's exterior and interior surfaces on a point cloud. This data can then be transcribed into digital models, plans, dimensions, images, videos and more. The technology can be used for a variety of applications, including product design and development, quality control, reverse engineering, and documentation.
Overall, 3D scanning buildings is a powerful tool that can provide architects, engineers, and other professionals with accurate and detailed information to support building design, construction, and management. It is a versatile and cost-effective solution that can help businesses and individuals streamline their workflow, improve efficiency, and stay competitive in today's fast-paced digital world.
Purpose: 3D scanning buildings is often used in architecture, engineering, construction, real estate and oil and gas industries to create accurate as-built models, for renovations, planning and design, inspections, and marketing purposes.
Data collection: During the scanning process, laser scanners or photogrammetry cameras capture millions of data points on a space’s surface. These data points are then processed by specialized software to create a useable 3D model of the building.
Accuracy: 3D scanning is a method of capturing the physical dimensions and geometry of a building with 99% accuracy. It allows for precise measurements and detailed visualizations of the building's surfaces, such as walls, floors, ceilings, and other architectural features. With the scan information can also offer unlimited 4K print-quality photography and a professional photo resolution at 134 megapixels.
Benefits: 3D scanning can save time and money compared to traditional surveying methods. It can also reduce the need for manual measurements and inspections, and provide a more accurate representation of a building's condition and features.
Challenges: 3D scanning can be challenging in certain environments, such as areas with limited access, complex geometries, or reflective surfaces, however, your Digi 3D scanning expert will advise best on how to navigate each individual space.
