3D Scanning for Architecture, Engineering & Construction

Image
  3D scanning is a way of taking detailed scans for use in various industries. It is most often used in construction, architecture, and engineering. This practice is becoming so popular that it will likely become the standard way of surveying and analyzing to collect data for projects and business operations. Here is a look at the uses of 3D scanning for architecture, engineering, and construction. Construction Site Surveying Before any construction project starts, the  construction  site must be surveyed. Construction document scanning lets companies create detailed maps of the area that can be used in the planning process. Architects, engineers, and construction teams all need a highly accurate description of the workspace to begin planning. 3D laser scanning for construction produces documents with a much higher level of quality than more traditional methods, and in a fraction of the time.  Laser scanners like the  Leica ScanStation 350 ...

How 3D Laser Scanning is Changing the Engineering Landscape

Image
  3D laser scanning is changing the engineering landscape. Measurements that used to take days to finish can now be done in a few hours if that. The introduction of 3D building scans into the planning process also makes designs more accurate, which means they are safer and built with a higher level of quality. 3D building scanning is becoming the go-to process for improving construction processes. Here is how 3D laser scanning is changing the engineering landscape . 3D laser scanning is more accessible than ever. The technology is highly developed and become affordable for every company. Take advantage of the opportunities at  NOAR Technologies  to add 3D laser scanning to your operations. We can provide equipment to buy or rent, and we even have training resources for your staff. Call us at (248) 906-2375 to discuss your 3D scanning needs.

Industrial Drone Training

Image
  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 ...

3D Laser Scanner Buying Guide

Image
  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...

Industrial drones to view all aspects of industrial process

Image
  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.

Use of Drones in the Construction Industry

Image
  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,...
