#1 Rated 3D Laser Scanning specialists in South Africa
Precision 3D Laser Scanning. We use state-of-the-art terrestrial laser scanning to digitally capture real-world spaces with unmatched accuracy — from buildings to infrastructure to industrial plants.
3D laser scanning is a non-contact, high-speed method of capturing millions of spatial data points from a physical environment. Using advanced terrestrial laser scanners, we create a detailed 3D representation — known as a point cloud — of existing buildings, infrastructure, terrain, or equipment.
This technology is ideal for documenting as-built conditions, verifying construction accuracy, creating BIM models, or planning renovations with confidence.
🏗️ Construction & Renovation: Accurate as-builts for new builds, retrofits, and fit-outs
🏢 Architecture & Design: Scan-to-BIM for Revit and clash detection
🏭 Industrial Plants & Factories: Scanning for maintenance, layout planning, and MEP coordination
🏛️ Heritage Preservation: Digitally record and protect historic buildings and monuments
🛣️ Civil Infrastructure: Bridges, tunnels, and transport facilities for planning and documentation
🎯 Unmatched Accuracy – Capture measurements to within ±2mm
🕒 Faster Surveys – Large areas scanned in hours, not days
💻 Digital Workflow – Ready for CAD, BIM, and engineering software
🧱 Detailed Documentation – Ideal for renovation, legal records, and facilities management
🌍 Minimal Disruption – No contact, non-invasive, suitable for live environments
Our scanning team visits your location and sets up ground-based laser scanners to capture the site from multiple angles.
The scanner emits laser beams that bounce back from surfaces, recording millions of XYZ coordinates per second — creating a dense 3D “point cloud”.
We align and clean the point cloud, then extract deliverables like 2D drawings, BIM models, or mesh surfaces — ready for CAD or Revit use.
Depending on your needs, we can provide:
📁 Point Clouds (.RCP, .E57, .LAS)
🗺️ 2D CAD Drawings (Floor Plans, Sections, Elevations)
🏗️ BIM Models (.RVT, .IFC)
📐 Deformation or Volume Reports
🖥️ 3D Mesh or Textured Models for visualization
At 3D Scan Metrics, we combine cutting-edge technology with hands-on industry expertise. Our scanning teams are experienced across sectors and bring precision, professionalism, and problem-solving to every project.
