From 3D Scan to BIM in Hours… Not Weeks

The world of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) is undergoing a digital revolution. New tools and methods are changing how we design and build things. One of the biggest game-changers is the link between 3D scanning and Building Information Modeling (BIM). This lets us create BIM models much faster, saving time and money on projects.…

The conjunction of LiDAR & AI

AI and LiDAR scanning can interact in various ways to enhance a wide range of applications across industries such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, urban planning, infraestructure management, among others. Here are some ways they can collaborate: These are just a few examples of how AI and LiDAR scanning can operate together to enable innovative applications…

What’s LiDAR and Why is it Relevant to Me?

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure variable distances. Essentially, it works by sending out laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for the light to return after bouncing off objects in its path. This data…

What are LOD (Levels of Development) in AEC?

Levels of Development (LOD) refer to a standardized framework for defining the amount of detail and accuracy that should be included in a building information model (BIM) at different stages of a project’s lifecycle. LOD 200 vs LOD 300… Why center on LOD200 and LOD300? Because both levels can be achieved through LiDAR 3D scanning…
