3D laser Scanning to BIM Services
Design Source India make outsourcing work. With the recent explosive growth of 3D BIM(Building Information Modeling), AEC firms are incorporating 3D scanning workflows for quick and accurate documentation of building structures. Laser scanning is the process of collecting millions of individual measurements using laser lights. A laser beam leaves the scanner at specific orientation and the time it takes to reflect off the surface and returned to the scanner establishes the distance. By moving equipment to various positions and perspectives and entire site can be scanned in 3D. We can use 3D scan data for historical monuments, Civil and landscape architectural design and MEP.
Benefits of 3D laser scanning
- Time: Laser cut the time on site alongside to be fully documented Indies vs weeks using conventional methods
- Accuracy: Laser a very accurate especially over long distance compared to the other tools
- Completeness: The entire space can be captured and models eliminating the need for expensive return trips
- Safety: Overhead measurements are safely performed from the floor level
- Formats: The final 3D CAD deliverables import directly into into virtually softwares
- Cost: With the benefit of better accuracy completeness of data and less time spent on site laser scanning can improve customers margin
Types of laser scanning Data & Its uses
Architectural Laser Scan Data: Design, Facility Management, Renovation and Space planning, Lead and Green Certification
MEP Laser Scan Data: Clash Detection, Coordination & clash Resolution
Historical Monument Laser Scan Data: HABS and HAER Documentation, Structural Analysis, Construction History, Restoration and preservation Non Contract Documentation and Archival Data
Civil and Landscape:Site layout, Topography, Part Repairs and Immediate Dimensional Analysis
Scan to BIM Deliverables
2D Architectural drawings: Plans, Elevation,Sections & Details
Review formats: PDF, RVT, CAD
Scan to BIM Native Formats: Revit, Microstation, Vectorworks, Navisworks and many others fly through animations or solid model files for 3D print
