In a Scan to BIM process, a laser scanner is used to acquire a 3D scan that is perfectly superimposable on the real building. The scan data is then imported into a Building Information Modeling environment returning the digital twin of the building. In other words, an integrated BIM model.
All professionals in the construction industry immediately benefit from the 3D laser scanning methodology:
- architects,
- engineers,
- construction supervisors,
- contractors
The result of the Laser Scanner survey returns a cluster of millions of points in a 3-dimensional space.
The point cloud thus obtained can then be managed in the BIM modeling phase in order to produce a digital model of the existing one, which can also be evaluated in a virtual reality environment.
