What is 3D Lidar Scanning?

3D LiDAR scanning emits rapid laser pulses to capture precise building shapes and surface details. The measured times for pulse returns generate dense, highly accurate 3D point clouds that represent the structure’s geometry.

Main uses

• Building surveys: precise measurements for renovation, expansion, documentation.

• Digital models: detailed 3D designs and visualizations for planning.

• Historical preservation: contact-free, accurate records of heritage sites and artifacts.

• Construction monitoring: track progress, compare as-built to plans, verify compliance.

Benefits

• High accuracy for complex geometries and fine details.

• Fast capture of large areas, reducing on-site time.

• Operates in varied lighting and conditions.

• Non‑invasive; preserves originals and minimizes contact.
