HOW OUR PROCESS WORKS
Using drone and ground-based laser scanners, we capture millions of precise data points to create 3D point clouds of the existing conditions.
STEP 1: ONSITE SCANNING
Our experienced technicians scan your structure using our accurate scanning systems. The data is stored as a point cloud which is a dense collection of millions of data points that represent the scanned environment. Each point contains X, Y, and Z coordinates and color/intensity data, creating a highly accurate digital replica of the physical structure.
STEP 2: POINT CLOUD PROCESSING
Our engineering team uses the raw point cloud data to construct a solid model using the processes below.
Point Cloud Cleaning: Remove noise or irrelevant data.
Meshing: Convert the point cloud into a surface mesh (e.g., STL or OBJ).
Surface Modeling: Create NURBS or parametric surfaces over the mesh.
Solid Modeling: Build solid features and define geometry based on the surfaces.
STEP 3: FINAL DELIVERABLE
Once the solid model has been created, it can be exported in a variety of formats, or oven used to verify dimensions in original construction drawings.
