FAQs

1. What is Laser Scanning?

Laser Scanning is used to capture detailed, three-dimensional information about physical spaces or objects. Laser scanners create a highly accurate digital representation of the scanned environment by emitting millions of laser points per second and measuring their return times. This data, known as a point cloud, is used in various industries, including construction, engineering, and architecture, to map existing conditions, verify dimensions, and facilitate design processes.

2. How does Scan to BIM work?

In Scan to BIM (Building Information Modeling), data collected from 3D laser scans are used to create a detailed, digital 3D model of a building or structure. First, the laser scanner captures the existing conditions, generating a point cloud. This point cloud data is then imported into BIM software—such as Autodesk Revit—where it is converted to accurate architectural, structural, and system models. The resulting BIM model is used for design verification, renovation planning, clash detection, and other project workflows.

3. What are the benefits of 3D Laser Scanning over traditional surveying?

3D Laser Scanning offers faster data collection, highest accuracy, and comprehensive detail, reducing time and costs compared to traditional methods.

4. How does Reality Capture enhance project efficiency?

By providing detailed and accurate 3D data, Reality Capture enables better visualization, reduces rework, and facilitates informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

5. What is the typical process for a Reality Capture project?

The process involves on-site data collection using advanced scanning technologies, followed by data extraction and modeling to produce the desired deliverables.

6. Is Reality Capture suitable for large-scale projects?

Absolutely, Reality Capture efficiently handles projects of virtually any size, providing comprehensive data for large structures and expansive sites.

7. What formats do you deliver?

We offer various deliverable formats to meet our clients’ specific needs. Common formats include:

  1. 2D AutoCAD drawings: For straightforward, plan-based documentation.
  2. 3D Revit models: Information-rich models that integrate with BIM workflows.
  3. Point cloud data: (.e57, .rcs, .pts, etc.) usable in various modeling tools.
  4. Orthophotos: High-resolution, scaled images generated from the point cloud.

These deliverables can be tailored to your project’s requirements and workflow preferences.
