Think about the challenges of working on older buildings ,you often don’t have accurate drawings or a clear idea of the structure’s current state. With 3D scanning, you can capture every detail of the existing building in just a few hours. The scanners generate a point cloud, which is essentially a digital replica of the structure, down to the millimeter. This allows architects and engineers to create precise 3D models that serve as a foundation for retrofitting. By working with exact dimensions, you can design components that fit seamlessly, avoiding the trial-and-error approach that can waste time and resources. Plus, any potential issues, like misalignments or clashes, can be identified in the early stages. This technology isn’t just about speed; it’s about accuracy and eliminating the unknowns that typically slow down renovation work. I would like to know your thoughts on adaptation of 3D laser scanning technology in your AEC workflow. Thank you.
