Technical processes like the scan to BIM process can be hard to understand if you’re operating outside the industry. However, when it comes to reality capture and engineering projects, the scan to BIM process is essential.
We have put together a list of reasons why organizations across North America are taking advantage of these digital tools. Continue reading to learn how laser survey technology could benefit your next project.
Heavy-duty machinery is crucial to 3D scanning, building information modeling, and reality capture. However, it’s an unfortunate reality that machinery misuse results in serious injury regardless of industry: amputation, blindness, burns, and crushed fingers and hands are everyday tragedies.
For several decades, the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector has suffered from high costs, slow deliverables, and an overall lack of communication between parties. This is mainly because of the lack of collaboration between everyone involved in a project — including architects, designers, contractors, engineers, and owners. The lack of cooperation and willingness to work together has cost building owners billions of dollars annually.
Construction companies that fail to embrace advancements in technology like building information modeling may suffer financial, interpersonal, and many other types of consequences. Therefore, if you operate a construction business, we highly recommend taking full advantage of the exciting applications at your disposal.
BIM or, “building information modeling” is a type of application that enables steel detailers to produce these drawings in a highly specific, comprehensive way. These 3D, multi-faceted modeling applications incorporate precise visual drawings, as well as written technical information.
