Advantages vs Disadvantages of 3D Laser Scanner
Advantages of 3D scanning 3D scanning is a significant technology not just for re-creating objects or designing models for 3D printing, but also for many other applications. 3D scanning can preserve ancient art and protect it from damage due to wars. It can also be of tremendous value in areas like health care where a fractured skull can be rebuilt using 3D scanned models ...
What is 3D Laser Scanning ?
In the most general terms, 3D scanning also referred to as 3D digitizing, is the utilization of a three-dimensional data acquisition device to acquire a multitude of X, Y,Z coordinates on the surface of a physical object. Each discrete X, Y, Z coordinate is referred to as a point. The conglomeration of all these points is referred to as a “point cloud.” The typical format f...
White Light vs Blue Light Scanning
3D scanning is an important part of quality assurance, prototyping, manufacturing, and reverse engineering. The precise 3D blueprints and rapid workflows enabled by light-based non-contact metrology solutions make them an important technology that can have measurable benefits on an organization's bottom line. However, many organizations are unfamiliar with the details of the...
Industrial 3D Scanner with white light technology
The white light 3D scanners provide precision scans with detailed resolution at high speeds. As White light3D scanners are a type of coordinate measuring machine CMM that utilizes optical non-contact technology to capture millions of accurate points in a single fast scan. There are different names for this technology, such as an optical measuring machine, optical 3D scanne...
Which is best Photogrammetry or 3D Scanning ?
Digital 3D models are used for many different purposes in a variety of industries, and there are multiple methods of making them from a real object. The two primary methods for digital 3D modeling are 3D scanning and photogrammetry. In this article, we’ll discuss the process, advantages, and disadvantages of each technology as well as some common applications for this type of...
What is LiDAR ?
LiDAR, or light detection and ranging, is a popular remote sensing method used for measuring the exact distance of an object on the earth’s surface. After the introduction of GPS that it became a popular method for calculating accurate geospatial measurements. ○ LiDAR Technology LiDAR uses a pulsed laser to calculate an object’s variable distances from the earth's ...
3D Laser Scanning in Topographical survey
A topographic survey is required to draw up a site map or a plan showing the natural features and man-made structures on a site. This type of survey is often also referred to as a land surveyor a detailed and contour survey. The final deliverable can be presented in a variety of formats from 2D plans and CAD files to 3D data with a digital terrain model (DTM) or even complete d...
Floor Flatness and levelness with ASTM E1155 analysis using 3D laser Scanning
A traditional method for conducting slab flatness analysis is manual, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. Floor flatness/floor levelness (FF/FL), a commonly used method. It requires the creation of a grid on the concrete slab following a set of specifications before taking manual readings. ASTM E1155 standard method for determining floor flatness (FF) and floor levelness (FL) ...
Monitor change over time of any construction using 3D Scanning
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a 3D model-based process that enables AEC professionals to more efficiently design and manage buildings. 3D laser scanner technology allows you to quickly and accurately capture existing structures. And using point cloud data, it is possible to accurately model not only the architectural or structural model of the entire building but also ...
3D Scanning for Continuous Construction Progress Monitoring
Manage Construction projects with Realtime data evaluation with 3D Laser scanning technology A. Prevent Costly Mistakes 3D Lidar Scanning captures precise details about the environmental and physical site prior to and during construction. The high-resolution images captured by a 3D laser scanner are then turned into accurate 2D orthophotos and 3D models, creating a rich...
