Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning
Embracing the power of 3D laser scanning technology can revolutionize the way you approach construction, engineering, and design projects.
Here are some key advantages of utilizing these devices:
01
Accurate and Comprehensive Data. 3D laser scanning provides millions of data points, creating highly detailed and precise representations of the scanned object or environment. This level of accuracy ensures that measurements, dimensions, and existing conditions are captured with the maximum amount of details and specifications.
02
Time and Cost Efficiency. Traditional manual measurements and surveys can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. 3D laser scanning accelerates the data collection process, reducing the time required for site visits and measurements. Not only the professional equipment collects more information simultaneously, but there is also no need to return to the location and redo the survey as all the information gathered is digital and easily accessible.
03
Improved Project Visualization. Using 3D scanning, you can create detailed 3D models and virtual representations of scanned objects or spaces. This allows for enhanced project visualization, facilitating better design decision-making, clash detection, and coordination among various parties.
04
Enhanced Design and Planning. The accurate as-built data obtained through 3D laser scanning enables better design and planning. Architects, engineers, and designers can work with precise measurements and existing conditions, minimizing design errors and seamlessly integrating new elements into the existing environments.
05
Documentation and Preservation. 3D laser scanning serves as a reliable documentation tool, capturing the existing conditions of historical sites, cultural artifacts, or heritage buildings. This technology helps in preserving and safeguarding these assets for future generations.
06
Efficient Facility Management. 3D laser scanning creates a digital twin of the scanned object or environment, allowing for efficient facility management. The accurate and up-to-date 3D models provide valuable information for maintenance, renovations, and future planning.
How the price is formed?
The price of our laser scanning service is determined by several key factors, ensuring transparency and fairness in our pricing structure.
Here are the factors that can influence the price.
PROJECT SCOPE
The size and complexity of your project play a significant role in determining the price. Larger projects or those requiring intricate scanning and modeling will generally have a higher cost compared to smaller, straightforward ones.
TIMEFRAME
The duration of the project impacts the price. Urgent or expedited projects may incur additional charges due to the need for accelerated scanning and processing.
SITE ACCESSIBILITY
The accessibility of the scanning site affects the complexity of the scanning process. Sites that are difficult to reach or require specialized equipment for access may result in higher pricing to account for additional logistical challenges.
REQUIRED DELIVERABLES
The specific deliverables you need, such as point cloud data, 2D CAD drawings, and 3D building information models can impact the overall cost. The level of detail and complexity required in the deliverables will influence the pricing.
ADDITIONAL REQUESTS
If you require supplementary services such as clash detection, virtual walkthroughs, or advanced data analysis, these may be priced separately, contributing to the overall cost.
