Architecture and Construction
A laser scan of the as-built condition or void space of a building, interior or exterior, can be very useful for an architect or contractor. Whether a renovation or new construction, having precise measurements of the space and objects can simplify CAD modeling time, verify important measurements, and prevent costly errors. Cross-sections, floor plans or full 3D modeling are all easily obtained from the same point cloud.
Heritage and Renovations
Preservation or restoration of historical buildings and structures can be a very particular ordeal. When was the last time you saw a straight line or plumb wall in such a building? Yet it may be necessary to fabricate cabinets, supporting structures or other objects to mate with such irregular surfaces. With the use of a 3D laser scan, highly accurate and detailed as-built conditions can be documented for further use. Architects, engineers or historians can use the captured data to determine structural integrity, and accurately measure awkward niches to complete the best job possible.
Forensics
At crime or accident scenes, a laser scan of the area can capture all evidence at once. This enables law enforcement or forensic experts to have precise measurements and locations of everything at the scene and the ability to refer back to the untampered evidence for analysis. The large, high quality data set formed by the point cloud enables detailed analysis that was previously much more difficult or prohibitively expensive.
Design and Manufacturing
A 3D laser scan of an object can quickly provide a fully surfaced CAD model. The perfect start for a reverse engineering project, or rapid prototyping application. Scanning first article parts after manufacturing can ensure the design specifications and tolerances are acceptable and the design is as desired. We can use other methods if the required tolerances are tighter than what a laser scanner can provide.
Marine
The unique problems encountered in boat building can be solved with the help of a 3D laser scanner. Applications such as designing one-off parts, verifying that components fit design specifications, or inspecting for damage or deformation can quickly and easily be performed. The ability to digitize a hull or interior spaces is invaluable for designing the largest tank to fit in the boat, or determining the best place to install a thruster, or optimizing custom cabinetry.
Virtual Simulation/ Videogames
Instead of countless hours designing maps, sets, objects and characters to look as realistic as possible, why not just use a realistic image? 3D laser scanning can quickly capture an area or object that can be imported into a CGI platform for additional manipulation.
Landscapes, Stockpiles and Earthworks
A 3D laser scan of an object can quickly provide a fully surfaced CAD model. The perfect start for a reverse engineering project, or rapid prototyping application. Scanning first article parts after manufacturing can ensure the design specifications and tolerances are acceptable and the design is as desired. We can use other methods if the required tolerances are tighter than what a laser scanner can provide.
Theater and Stage
We can give you a 3D digital model of the stage and venue so that you will know exactly where all of the lighting is located, you can plan intricate sets and special effects.
