Laser Scans: What Is It All About?
If you’ve ever wished for a quicker, safer, and more dependable way to measure a building or site, laser scanning is the solution. Also known as 3D laser scanning or LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), this technology uses laser pulses to gather millions of data points without physical contact, producing a highly detailed digital capture of the built environment—commonly called a point cloud. Whether you’re planning a renovation, managing an existing facility, or beginning a new construction project, laser scanning provides exact measurements that eliminate guesswork and manual errors.
At 3DESIGNWORX, we use this technology to streamline documentation and generate accurate 2D drawings and fully coordinated 3D BIM models. As Charlotte, North Carolina continues to grow, laser scanning has become an essential tool in architecture, engineering, and construction for improving planning, reducing risks, and documenting complex spaces with confidence.
Laser Scans: What to Expect
- On-Site Laser Scanning
After confirming the scope, our team mobilizes scanning equipment on-site and captures precise data across all visible surfaces—even in confined, irregular, or high-risk areas—without disrupting ongoing operations.
- Point Cloud Creation
Once scanning is complete, the collected data is processed into a point cloud, producing a detailed digital representation of the space with accurate geometry and measurements.
- As-Built Documentation
Using the point cloud, we create exact 2D deliverables—including plans, sections, and elevations—ideal for permitting, renovations, or record documentation.
- 3D BIM Model Development
If a 3D deliverable is required, we translate the scan data into a comprehensive BIM model that supports design coordination, clash detection, and future planning.
- Workflow Integration
All deliverables can be seamlessly imported into your preferred CAD or BIM platforms, giving architects, contractors, and facility managers immediate access to verified, real-world data.
