Transform the physical world into intelligent digital data. At 3D Scan Metrics, we specialize in Scan to BIM services, converting high-definition 3D laser scan data into accurate, parametric Building Information Models (BIM).
Whether you are managing a complex renovation, retrofitting an industrial facility, or documenting heritage sites, our "Point Cloud to BIM" process ensures your as-built documentation is millimeter-accurate. We eliminate the guesswork of traditional surveying, providing you with a reliable digital twin that streamlines design, clash detection, and facilities management.
Scan to BIM is the process of capturing the physical reality of a space using 3D laser scanning technology and converting that data into a digital BIM model (typically using software like Autodesk Revit).
The Scan: High-speed laser scanners capture millions of data points, creating a dense "Point Cloud" that represents the exact geometry of the building.
The Model: Our BIM specialists import this point cloud into modeling software to trace and model structural, architectural, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) elements.
The result is a geometry-rich, intelligent model that reflects the actual conditions of the site, not just the original design plans.
We create detailed models of building exteriors and interiors, including walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, and complex architectural features. Perfect for renovation planning and heritage preservation.
Accurate modeling of exposed structural elements such as columns, beams, trusses, and foundations. Essential for structural analysis and retrofit projects.
We capture and model visible MEP components (ductwork, piping, conduit, and equipment). This is critical for clash detection in brownfield projects where new systems must integrate with existing infrastructure.
High Precision & Accuracy: We utilize state-of-the-art LiDAR and terrestrial scanners to capture data with millimeter precision.
Customized LOD (Level of Development): From LOD 200 (generic geometry) to LOD 500 (as-built verified), we model exactly to your specifications.
Clash Detection: Identify interferences between existing conditions and new design elements before construction begins, saving time and costly rework.
Software Compatibility: We deliver models in industry-standard formats, including Autodesk Revit (.rvt), IFC, and AutoCAD, ensuring seamless integration with your workflow.
