  3D laser scanners are used to assist in the design of industrial facilities. Creating 3D maps of work areas allows designers and fabricators to build the machinery that you need accurately. No more guessing where things fit and how to fit everything into the space that you have. Use 3D scans to plot every machine, procedure, and operation before you even think about starting construction.  Having eyes where you need them when you need them makes monitoring operations easier. Many of our 3D laser scanners can be mounted on drones, letting you scan areas where people and cameras cannot reach.  More than that, our 3D scanners catch every detail. While your eyes may miss fine details and misjudge measurements, our scanners can find them. Detailed point-cloud data lets you make calculations at a higher detail than manual measurements. What if you can catch maintenance problems before they cause accidents? Our 3D scanners can see in multiple lift spectrums, including visible ...

  Laser scanners are an important part of how many businesses function. The right scanner lets a company get a detailed map of an area at high speeds, in high resolution, and without difficult controls. The technology behind 3D scanners has changed rapidly in the last ten years making it harder to find the best 3D scanner for the money. Read on to learn more about 3D laser scanners and how to choose the best option for your needs. Size Matters When choosing a 3D laser scanner, size is an important factor to consider. Most laser scanners are relatively small, which can be  picked up with one hand . However, this is not always the case.  Size matters because of how you use the scanner. For example, an industrial 3D scanner may need to be mounted onto a drone so that it can fly to the target area. A 3D scanner that is too large may not fit on a drone that is relatively small. Likewise, the tripod that you put the scanner on must be chosen based on the limits of the...

  Running industrial plants requires sophisticated tools to keep everything running smoothly. From facility design to operations monitoring, your management team can benefit from having eyes and ears in multiple places at once. Fortunately, 3D laser scanners help you collect the data that you need to manage your business. Maintain safety and reduce risk to workers by deploying drones to view all aspects of industrial processes while staying safely on the ground.

  Once,  drone technology  seemed far-away and futuristic, devices used only by military personnel and professional Instagrammers. But now, as such technology becomes more accessible and affordable in the civilian market, you could probably walk down the street of any urban center in the U.S. and spot a building inspection drone buzzing around a city block. From advertisement to security to entertainment, these cost-efficient, camera-equipped fliers have proven useful across many  different industries . But there’s one industry in particular that seems to have been revolutionized by the use of drones: Construction. Drone use in construction  has boomed recently thanks to the all-encompassing aerial photography drones provide. Residential real estate developers, for instance, use aerial photographs taken by drones to track the building of subdivisions and homes. Real estate photographers use drones to capture gorgeous photographs of residential properties, which,...

  When it comes to the maintenance and upkeep of critical infrastructure throughout the United States—i.e. roads, bridges, highways, rail lines, etc.—private and public agencies face huge workloads each day. Recent studies found over 54,000 bridges in need of repair across the U.S. alone. And the fact that there exist approximately 137,000 route miles of the rail network and 4,071,000 miles of roads across the country, all of which require consistent maintenance and upkeep, further highlights the importance of this work. But the emergence of drone technology has helped many Departments of Transportation (DOTs) tackle the ever-increasing demands of infrastructure maintenance. Here are five reasons why infrastructure inspection drones are the future of civil infrastructure .

  Gather existing data faster and accurately, provide more informative information at a lower cost with civil infrastructure drones , HDS scanning, and Autodesk software.

  Flying a drone in the winter is a bit different from any other time of year. In some places, this means flying your drone in snow, in other places it just means cold weather drones are needed. However, there are steps that you can take no matter what the weather is like to improve your drone flying in winter. Here are six drone flying tips to help you manage a flying drone in winter.  1. Do Not Fly In Active Snow Avoid flying when it is actively snowing. While snowflakes are delicate, they can interfere with your drone. Whether your drone is moving at high speed or trying to hover, impacting snow can cause damage. In many cases, it can slow the rotation of the blades, which can  bring your drone down . To avoid problems, avoid areas where it is actively snowing.  2. Always Have a Clean Place to Land Your drone is not made to land in snow, mud, water, or ice. Before you take off, always have a clean place to land. This keeps your drone clean and also keeps it from b...
