SYDNEY BASED, SCANNING ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Laser technology has been in common use since the 1960s, in everything from printers to surgical instruments. Today, it is revolutionising architecture, engineering and construction in the form of 3D laser scanners, which digitally capture the shape of physical objects and real-world spaces – such as construction sites or fit-outs. In this process, a 3D laser scanner emits hundreds of thousands of points of amplified light per second to create ‘point clouds’ of data, which are extremely accurate representations of the scanned space.

OUR SCANNER

3D Laser Scan’s 3D laser scanner is a FARO Focus S 70, which has a range from 0.6 to 70 metres with an incredible 1mm accuracy (depending on settings). It emits up to 976,000 points per second to capture detailed measurements of complex objects and spaces. This ultra-portable, lightweight device can be set up on site and ready to go within minutes, mounted on a floor tripod or even suspended in an inverted position from above. Although it runs off 19V external power, this versatile unit also has a battery life of 4.5 hours so can operate under virtually any conditions.

HOW WE USE IT

The Revit modelling (BIM) experts at 3D Laser Scans & Drawable use the scanner data to provide complete verification of the work you have done on your project, whatever your trade. At any stage of your build or installation, our highly trained operator can attend your site and perform the scan with minimal disruption to any works in progress. We then interface the captured scan data with the 3D model, for quick and accurate confirmation that your model fulfils the tolerance required in your tender documentation.

News

  • "With things moving and changing all the time around the brewery all the time we use the 3DLS team to ensure new vats and equipment will fit in to allocated areas before work starts. We've found 3D scans save us time and money by making our planning more accurate"

    Richard - Young Henrys

  • "With some new equipment to be installed in our BOSE Showroom we decided that 3D laser scanning would ensure that everything would fit.....before it was shipped. The scan and model work a treat, and our showroom looks better than ever! Thanks Dave"

    Joe - Crown Cabling

  • "As building managers we need to look after our clients assets. Point cloud scans allow us to record the condition of a building, or it's features, to plan for major works and also review contractors work against the Revit model for better facility management. We recommend 3D laser scanning buildings."

    Dean - Mode Management

  • "With Drawable building the electrical model and 3DLS providing point cloud scans to verify the installation against the Revit model. We are ahead of schedule and have considerable savings in labour and material, Construction BIM and BIM coordination is the way of the future"

    Sam - Heyday 5

  • "With major works planned on our home in the next few months 3D Laser crew scanned our unit to record the existing layout and help us plan the future work. I'm blown away with the 3d Laser scanning and pictures provided. Great work, looking forward to doing the scan to BIM soon!"

    Lisa - Lavender Bay

  • "The team at 3DLS have complete scans of multiple sites throughout Australia. They also build the architectural Revit models for each site allowing our American team to design, plan and coordinate new manufacturing facilities"

    Mark - CSS Australia

  • "We've been using 3DLS to laser scans houses allowing us to create Revit models for renovations and additions. The work 3D Laser Scans do is second to none and the point cloud lets us build 3D models for renovations"

    Anthony - Luxitecture

  • "I can't speak highly enough of Dave Starr and his expert team. The data captured with their point cloud scan provide the starting point for a major refit"

    Ben - Dewpoint

  • "The 3D Laser Scans were engaged to complete 3D laser scanning for a major renovation in the plant room. The scans and point cloud provided a 3D reference point of the existing services, allowing the work and project management a lot easier!"
