3D Scanning

Benefits for your business

See the benefits of using 3D scanning!
With our precision 3D scanning capabilities, we can capture every detail of a building, generating highly accurate point clouds. This comprehensive spatial data becomes an invaluable resource for architects, engineers and designers. Say goodbye to tedious manual measurements and unreliable documentation. Our 3D scanning service provides a digital twin of a building, enabling professionals to streamline documentation and design processes with confidence and efficiency.
Time is money, and we understand the importance of optimizing workflows. Our 3D scanning service speeds up the data collection process, eliminating the need for time-consuming traditional methods. By quickly capturing millions of data points, we minimize human error and maximize productivity. The accuracy and efficiency of our service translates into significant time and cost savings on projects.
Effective collaboration is essential for successful projects. Our 3D scanning service facilitates seamless communication and collaboration among stakeholders. Detailed point clouds serve as a common reference point for architects, engineers, contractors and other team members. With shared access to accurate spatial data, everyone can work in sync, reducing misunderstandings and ensuring smoother project progress.
Investing in our 3D scanning service means securing projects for the future. The point clouds we create serve as the basis for a wide range of applications, including renovations, retrofits, facilities management and more. By recording your building’s spatial data in digital format, you gain the flexibility to explore new design opportunities, analyze potential modifications and make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.

How can 3D scanning for BIM reduce design and construction costs?

Incorporating Matterport into the BIM process can help reduce virtual design and construction costs and help win bids.
  1. Export your point cloud and easily share and work on it in Revit® and other BIM programs.
  2. Generate OBJ files and point clouds for as-built and construction documentation.
  3. Scan tight areas 10-15 times faster than with a typical Lidar scanner.
  4. Overlay a point cloud on a BIM model for verification.
  5. Take measurements in hard-to-reach areas such as pipes, trusses and floor beams.

How do we make a 3D scan?

The Matterport Pro3 scanner features LIDAR technology, a method of measuring distance by illuminating a target with laser light and measuring the reflection with a sensor. Differences in the return time of the laser beam and the change in wavelength can then be used to create a three-dimensional model. LIDAR is ideal for making point clouds and 3D models, hence digital twins. It can really help in so-called reverse engineering. In construction, for example, it’s used for taking an accurate inventory, checking components on a real-time construction site, or for as-built documentation.

Indicators after using the 3D Scan service:

According to a McKinsey&Company report, the use of 3D scanning technology can improve the accuracy of construction projects by up to 50%

A report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) found that the use of 3D scanning technology can lead to cost savings of 5% in construction projects

A study by Dodge Data&Analytics found that using 3D scanning can increase the efficiency of construction projects by up to 70%.

Case study

3D Scan of the Old Factory building in Walbrzych.

The main goal was to provide the designer with a point cloud for further elaboration. Due to the complexity of the historic building, traditional measurement methods were not sufficient, as they often required several site visits and involved the client’s time. The point cloud provides a comprehensive and accurate representation of all the building’s dimensions with minimal time and client involvement.

The result of our work is that Ms. Ela, the owner of the building, practically did not have to take the time that would have been required for a traditional measurement of the building. In addition, Ms. Ela now has a souvenir in the form of a visualization of the building before the renovation. For the designer, too, this is an incredible convenience, as he can import the point cloud into CAD or BIM software and work on the actual dimensions, instead of relying on approximate values that often occur with traditional measurement.

3D scanning is becoming a revolutionary force shaping the future of the AEC industry. The ability to capture complex data quickly and efficiently is not just a technological advancement; it is a breakthrough in efficiency and innovation. In the near future, 3D scanning will revolutionize our approach to design, construction and spatial analysis, opening up new opportunities and propelling the AEC industry toward unparalleled precision and efficiency
