Architecture and construction
The surveying of building structures is one of the main applications of laser scanners. Thanks to their ability to acquire a vast amount of data quickly with a very high level of detail—laser scanners can generate floor plans, sections, and elevations of existing buildings with extreme precision and completeness.
This technology allows professionals in the sector to carry out detailed surveys of existing structures with a high level of accuracy, providing a solid basis for the design, documentation, and management of architectural and construction works.

Simulations
Simulations
Thanks to the availability of complete 3D models, it is possible to conduct detailed simulations of production processes and destructive tests in industrial settings. For example, if you need to integrate an additional robot into your existing production line, simulation allows you to assess the impact and optimize implementation without interrupting production activities.

automatic 3D modeling
Using laser scanner measurement systems and LFM software, it is possible to generate semi-automatic 3D models of the current state of the company or industrial plant. It is also possible to generate complete CAD models (e.g., for revamping or repiping projects) from the scanned laser data (the so-called point cloud).
