Frequently Asked Questions
-
3D laser scanning uses advanced LiDAR technology to capture precise 3D measurements, creating high-resolution point clouds for as-built documentation, design, and analysis.
-
3D laser scanning provides millimeter-accurate data, reduces errors in project planning, and accelerates workflows for architectural, engineering, and construction projects.
-
Terrestrial laser scanning is a type of ground-based LiDAR that uses stationary scanners to capture high-detail, close-range measurements of buildings, interiors, and objects with millimeter accuracy. In contrast, LiDAR is a broader term that includes various laser scanning methods, such as drone-mounted or aerial LiDAR, which are ideal for mapping large outdoor environments or hard-to-access areas.
