FAQs

What advantages does 3D laser scanning offer?

3D laser scanning provides highly accurate measurements within millimetres and captures data quickly, significantly speeding up the 3D modelling process. It’s easy to use, requires minimal setup and is versatile enough to scan a wide range of objects and spaces.

How does the 3D laser scanning process work?

First, the scanner is set up and the target is prepared. Next, the scanner sends out laser beams to capture data, which is then processed into a 3D model. Finally, the raw data is cleaned and transformed into a usable format, such as a 3D CAD model.

Which software programs are utilised for 3D laser scanning?

Several software programs are used for 3D laser scanning, including Faro Scene for Faro scanners, Leica Cyclone for Leica scanners and Autodesk ReCap for processing point cloud data from various scanners and creating 3D models from photos.

What file formats are typically used for 3D laser scanning data?

3D laser scanners produce point cloud data in various formats, including ASCII text files, LAS (Log ASCII Standard) and PLY (Polygon File Format). The specific format depends on the software and hardware used, with LAS and PLY commonly used for storing and exchanging 3D point cloud data.

What is a point cloud?

A point cloud is a collection of data points in 3D space, represented by X, Y and Z coordinates. Created using 3D laser scanning, point clouds digitally represent the surface of an object or space and are used for visualisation, analysis and 3D modelling.
