Scan to BIM

In a Scan to BIM process, a laser scanner is used to capture an accurate 3D scan of the real-world conditions on a project. The scan data is then imported into a 3D modeling environment to create either accurate as-built models or to inform the design with the real-world conditions.

Three important steps of the BIM scanning process are:

Collecting data with a 3D laser scanner
Bringing this data back to the design office;
Using it in the BIM process.
3D laser scanning allows contractors to collect the as-is conditions on a project site quickly to provide both accurate and up-to-date data that is valuable throughout the different design and construction stages. It is then used to verify as-built models, monitor progress on a project, create as-built models for existing structures or to augment missing design data. Many projects now require a contractor to deliver a point cloud as a final project deliverable to document the location of new construction for the building owner.

Scan to BIM allows you to create a highly accurate three-dimensional digital representation of your building – in a reduced amount of time

Some of the advantages of Scan to BIM

It removes a large degree of human error from traditional as-built documentation processes
The data is collected over a considerably shorter period of time
Information can be shared faster
Teams only need to visit the site once to collect data

Our Resources

Leica P40 3D Scanner

 

The Leica ScanStations deliver the highest quality 3D data and HDR imaging at an extremely fast scan rate of 1 mio points per second at ranges of up to 270 m. 

Unsurpassed range and angular accuracy, paired with low range noise and survey-grade dual-axis  compensation, form the foundation for highly detailed 3D colour point clouds mapped in realistic clarity.

Leica RTC 360

 

Leica P40 3D Scanner

The Leica RTC360 laser scanner makes 3D reality capture faster than ever before. With a measuring rate of up to 2 million points per second and an advanced HDR imaging system, the creation of coloured 3D point clouds can be completed in under 2 minutes. 

Plus, automated targetless field registration (based on VIS technology) and the seamless, automated transfer of data from site to office reduce time spent in the field and further maximise productivity.  Small and lightweight, the Leica RTC360 scanner’s portable design and collapsible tripod mean it’s compact enough to fit into most backpacks, ready to be taken anywhere. 

Once on site, easy-to-use one-button operation makes for fast, hassle-free scanning. Low-noise data allows for better images, resulting in crisp, high-quality scans that are rich in detail and ready for use in a range of applications. Combined with Cyclone FIELD 360 software for automated registration in the field, the Leica RTC360 scanner offers outstanding precision that can be checked on-site.
