Construction & Facility 3D Scanning Services

Large-scale 3D scanning provides accurate digital documentation of buildings, industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and infrastructure. Engineers use scan data to create BIM models, as-built documentation, facility layouts, and digital twins for renovation and maintenance projects.

Facility Applications

  • As-built documentation
  • BIM modeling
  • Plant layout
  • Facility modernization
  • Construction verification
  • Digital twins
  • Renovation planning
  • Equipment installation verification
  • Structural documentation
  • Asset management

Customer Problems We Solve

  • Missing CAD files
  • Obsolete parts
  • Supplier transitions
  • Aircraft modernization
  • Factory documentation
  • Inspection failures
  • Legacy drawings
  • No original OEM data
  • Product redesign
  • Digital transformation

Our CAD Services Through Real-Life Case Studies

37% Lighter Trolley Cart for FleetPride — Validated in Ansys

FleetPride's axle trolley cart redesigned in Ansys — 37% lighter (210 lbs → 132 lbs) while maintaining full 1,000 lb rated capacity.

Reverse Engineering a Legacy Rotor Shaft

A client needed a replacement rotor shaft for industrial equipment. Original CAD files, drawings, and specifications were unavailable.

Engine Housing Reverse Engineering

In this case study, we aimed to create a full digital model of an engine casing. This casing had no current CAD files, outdated drawings, and undocumented shapes because of years of use and part changes.

Fan Housing Recreation

We were recently tasked with recreating a fan housing using only the client’s original paper drawings.

CAD Modeling of an F‑16 from 3D Scan to Simulation-Ready

This case study describes how we helped a defense customer turn a dense point cloud into a usable surface model. This model was a CAD surface for an F‑16 that could feed straight into simulation.
