That’s a fascinating area where technology meets heritage preservation. Historical buildings are often delicate and complex, with unique architectural details that need to be handled with care. Architectural scanning allows us to capture every element of these structures — from intricate carvings to irregular walls — without physically touching them. This is crucial because traditional methods, like manual measurements, can be invasive and risk damaging the building.

The 3D scans provide an accurate digital model that documents the building’s current state in incredible detail. These models help architects and conservationists understand the structure thoroughly, plan restorations, and even test solutions virtually before making any physical changes. For instance, if a section of a wall needs reinforcement, the team can simulate the restoration to ensure compatibility. Moreover, these scans become a long-term resource, preserving a snapshot of the building as it exists today for future generations to study or restore. Have you ever leveraged 3D laser scanning capabilities in heritage restoration projects? If yes, how was your experience? I would love to get to know that.
