What is Laser Scanning?

3D Laser Scanning is a method of reality capture which utilises lasers to measure the surroundings and create a 3D representation of the real world in the form of a “point cloud”. We use the point cloud to create a 3D model or 2D drawings - Floor plans, elevation, etc. 

​

The benefits of laser scanning compared to older surveying methods of a single point total station, tape measure, and disto, are...

​

• All information is captured - no site returns for extra information.

• Quicker and faster for reduced site time.

• Increased survey wide accuracy

• Reduced survey cost

• Street scene or 360 panoramic imagery.
