Services for converting laser scanning results into a BIM model are highly valued in various fields, such as the preservation of historical monuments.
An accurate information model also serves as a single source of data for all project participants. Architects, engineers, contractors and clients can view and modify it in real time and achieve better results.
How does data collection occur?
The entire process begins with 3D laser scanning. 3D measuring equipment emits laser beams to capture the parameters of a building or site. When the laser beams hit a surface, they bounce off it and are captured by sensors on the device. This creates a data set known as a point cloud.
The advantages of this method are speed and accuracy. The equipment records both small details and the thickness of walls and the height of ceilings. This detailed data is essential for creating high-quality BIM models that reflect real conditions in the building.
Once the object parameters have been captured, they are converted into a BIM model. This is done using specialized software, often with automated tools. The result is a highly detailed 3D BIM model, including elements such as walls, floors, roofs, windows, doors, and façade details. The resulting model is not just a visualization of the object. It contains valuable information about the materials, dimensions, and condition of the building, and can be used in future projects.
