What is laser scanning?

Laser scanning is a surveying method that remotely collects and measures the positions of objects, surfaces, infrastructure and landscapes. 3D laser scanners collect data as point clouds, through the emission of laser beams that reflect off of surfaces and back to the sensor. The point clouds contain a million 3D (XYZ) coordinate points, when put together they give an accurate 3-Dimensional representation of an object or surface. Point clouds can be imported onto CAD or BIM software to produce 2D or 3D drawings.

Applications of laser scanning

Design and renovations: With 3D laser scanning it is easy to create an accurate twin model of an existing structure. Scan-to-BIM is a process whereby a point cloud is converted to a 3D model. The 3D model can be used to improve existing designs or propose renovations.

Clash detection and coordination of system: Laser scans can be used to prevent clashes within a project. Be it during the installation of new equipment or determining correct pipe sizes, scans can help detect possible ergonomic clashes.
