How Reality Capture through 3D Laser Mapping is Beneficial to Your Business
07:20Understanding the Long-Term Values of 3D Laser Mapping
A new technology in the 3D field is the
scan to BIM. It uses 3D laser mapping to capture systems data, along with
important as-built facility which can later be imported into various software
applications. This makes it possible for the translation of point clouds that
are in 3D into BIM software objects.
Companies that are interested to maximise
this technology will only need to invest in a 3D reality capture program
upfront before a renovation project is commenced. This will allow them to get
the benefits of being able to design around present building conditions. Unlike
before where they have to use old and outdated drawings to get that done, what
they get now is an updated and real-time representation of the facility to come
up with drawings that are more accurate.
Of course, a lot of people would think that
the costs involved in something as sophisticated as this are going to be
massive. However, it is not actually the case. Companies will find that the
actual costs involved in the 3D mapping, scanning, and BIM services cost less
when compared to the actual costs involved in a major field change as a result
of inaccurate and poor as-built information and data.
Improved accuracy
It is easier to difficult areas that used
to be hard to reach or difficult through the use of this technology such as the
case of utility structures located underground, site conditions that have
already been pre-designed, or MEP systems that are enclosed in the ceiling.
As-is conditions of projects are also more accurately captured where point
clouds are used for BIMs creation. The measurements are going to be more
accurate and precise too.
Save more time
It will take less time to measure the
physical property of any structure. Compared to traditional techniques, using
this technology would ensure measurements that will be ten times faster. The
CAD drawings and the BIMs are going to be drawn directly from the cloud points.
Design changes are also documented and validated using as-built information
that are representative of the conditions in the real world.
Save more money
Scanned areas will benefit from high
coverage which will result in lesser return trips that can get quite costly.
The costs will also be reduced through the creation of digital reproductions in
3D of the existing conditions in any setting to ensure that clashes are better
detected. At the same time, costly field changes are going to be greatly
minimised as well.
Redesigns are going to be significantly
reduced-something that used to be expected in conventional techniques where
as-built data used is not usually the most updated version. Margins can even be
improved by about 10% due to cost reduction. More margins mean more savings or
it can also be used to come up with proposals that are designed to attract even
more potential clients.
