Laser Scanning to 3D Model

ECAD Offerings

• Scanning and back-modeling turn-key solution

• Modeling existing data (give us your measurement data or point cloud data and we’ll create a drawing or 3D model)

• Aggregate existing conditions with your design (we’ll coordinate existing models or point cloud data with your design model)

• Real-world 3D animation models (from point cloud to interactive moving 3D components)

NOTE: Our deliverables span from drawing and model files to virtual reality video games!

Laser Scanning by Definition

In modern surveying, the general meaning of laser scanning is the controlled deflection of laser beams, visible or invisible.

Within the field of 3D object scanning, laser scanning (also known as lidar) combines controlled steering of laser beams with a laser rangefinder. By taking a distance measurement at every direction the scanner rapidly captures the surface shape of objects, buildings and landscapes. Construction of a full 3D model involves combining multiple surface models obtained from different viewing angles, or the admixing of other known constraints.

Scan to 3D Model Benefits

The need to capture existing real-world conditions in a digital format has become increasingly vital across all industries.

Facility Management

An intelligent model can be a more cost-effective means of facility maintenance and serves as a single source of accurate information that helps reduce change orders, schedule interruptions, and eliminates the need of constantly traveling to the site or facility.

Interactive Model Examples

Below are multi-discipline interactive walkthrough models. These models are examples of the deliverables for our laser scan to modeling services. All of our projects start with a laser scan and many of them end with an interactive model. Some of the many benefits to these unique interactive models are: no software required, no training needed to navigate, and can be preloaded with point clouds and 3D model in a VR environment.

Thanks guys for your pursuit of excellence!

I have been involved with ECAD for 7 years now and they have always been able to help and answer questions, and if there wasn't a question they could answer directly they were able to get an answer in a short amount of time. Their on-site service has always been great, installs, upgrades, etc. ECAD is recommended.
