Laser Scanning
Our Case Studies
3D Laser Scanning with Leica Scanners
Principles of 3D Laser Scanning
Digital Twin Technology
- Accurate Replicas: 3D laser scanning creates precise digital replicas of physical assets.
- Contactless Data Capture: It captures real-world data without physical contact, resulting in detailed point clouds.
- Leica Scanners: Commonly used models include the Leica ScanStation P40 (long-range) and RTC360 (high-speed).
Target-Based Registration
- Precision: Scanners utilize targets for precise registration and survey-grade accuracy.
- Reliable Data Processing: Leica Cyclone software processes point clouds, ensuring dependable results.
Real-World Accuracy
- Sub-Millimeter Precision: Laser scanning provides measurements accurate to plus or minus three millimetres.
- Capturing Details: Imperfections and idiosyncrasies often overlooked by traditional methods are faithfully recorded.
