3D SCANNING
A fast and cheap way to measure a large process plant.
Survey
3D scanning is the fastest way to accurately measure an area. It can be used in many places; e.g. when expanding and renovating process plants, when removing heating plants, pump stations, etc. A scan with color typically takes 2-3 minutes, which means that you can scan a large area in a few hours.
The scanner recognizes surfaces and uses it to assemble a point cloud. This makes it easier to scan complex installations. The very compact scanner makes it possible to make a detailed measurement where you would otherwise not be able to measure. With this technique, you can reduce in many work steps.
Design
With a 3D scan, it is possible to create an accurate design that takes existing equipment into account.
The 3D scan can be imported as a point cloud in most CAD programs and can, for example, be used in combination with AutoCAD Plant 3D. Here it is possible to use functions such as WALK THE RUN (recognition of pipe and structure) and PIPE CLASH DETECTION, which can report where there is a conflict between pipe and point cloud.
Documentation
When using images as part of a documentation description, it is a clear advantage to be able to use the 3D scan and transfer images from this, instead of having to physically go out to the site. You will also be able to create as-build documentation of new facilities. Where you can hold the scan up against the 3D model you have made, and thus find any deviations.
Quality control
3D scanning can be used for documentation of execution, measurement of falls on surfaces, pipes or crooked foundations. It provides a quick overview of errors and shortcomings and is also a good tool to prevent errors, as you can adjust your design according to reality.
Visualization
It is possible to share the scan with stakeholders without any requirement for licenses. This means that you can send it to suppliers who have the option of making measurements and notes in the point cloud. It is therefore a powerful communication tool for meetings, presentations, project management and teaching.
