3D Scanning

Exploring the future of industrial mapping: 3D point mapping and 3D scanning

3D point maps and 3D scanners are emerging as indispensable tools to take industrial mapping to an unprecedented level of accuracy and utility. This innovative technology makes it possible to obtain an accurate 3D representation of industrial installations.

What are 3D point mapping and 3D scanning?

3D point mapping is an advanced technique based on a laser system that measures the distance to a surface. Knowing the position and orientation of the sensor, the XYZ coordinates and thus the 3D geometry of a specific environment can be calculated. This process, known as 3D scanning, captures millions of data points in a given space, generating a highly accurate and detailed digital model.

What are the advantages and functions of 3D scanning?

The 3D scanning service offers multiple applications and functionalities, such as:

  • Deployment of new equipment and interference detection
    The ability to deploy new equipment benefits greatly from the accuracy of the 3D point map. By having an accurate digital representation of the facility, engineers can efficiently assess available space, identify areas conducive to integrating new equipment and ensure a smooth implementation.
    Interference detection is another area where this technology excels. By analysing the model produced by the 3D scanner, it is possible to identify possible conflicts or interferences between existing and new equipment, avoiding costly problems and optimising the installation phase of the installation.

  • Consistent accuracy and accessibility during the design phase of new projects in existing installations.
    One of the main advantages of this technology is its ability to provide accurate 3D mapping of industrial installations. This goes beyond conventional drawings, in some cases non-existent, as it allows the exact layout of structures, machinery and components to be visualised with millimetre precision. This 3D representation serves as an invaluable tool for dimensional enquiries, allowing designers, draughtsmen and planners to visualise the installation from any angle and accurately measure distances and key dimensions.
    In addition, the great advantage lies in the constant availability of the scanned system. Users can access the digital model at any time, which greatly speeds up the design phase.

  • Virtual view of an installation
    The virtual view via 3D scanning provides a detailed and accurate representation of industrial installations, optimising planning and diagnostics. It facilitates remote inspection, improves decision-making and strengthens collaboration, driving efficiency and safety in industrial environments.

In short, 3D point mapping and 3D scanning are transforming the way we understand and manage industrial facilities. The combination of accuracy, constant accessibility and practical applications makes it an essential tool for those seeking to optimise processes, reduce risks and take industrial mapping into the future. With this technology, 3D vision becomes a tangible reality, opening up a range of possibilities for efficiency and innovation in the industrial sector.
