Use the guide as a reference to gain an essential understanding of 3D laser scanning, lidar scanning, photogrammetry and digital twins for buildings and structures. It covers the game changing applications and use cases in design, construction, and facilities management.
3D scanning is transforming AEC industries
In Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries, 3D Laser Scanning provides a fast and accurate way to collect large amounts of site measurement data that saves time and improves the quality of the design and construction processes. 3D laser scanning is helping the industry to address issues like clash detection that impacts productivity. Scanning not only makes construction workflows more accurate and efficient, it can also improve overall productivity. VTS supports AEC professionals with the data they need in the format how they need it.
“70% of owners, engineers and contractors said that using laser scanning and BIM improves planning, impacts quality of the design and constructability and reduces costs on complex projects.”

3D laser scanning for facility operations
Building owners and facility management professionals require accurate inventory of assets and as-built documentation to meet the constant cycle of repairs, bidding and capital projects.
Facility managers are often forced to rely on static systems like paper drawings or PDF files. All too often, blueprints and schematics are out of date or inaccessible. A digital twin is a 3D model that can be accessed from a computer or tablet and used for real time modeling and design. VTS clients including airports, water treatment plants and manufacturing facilities are using the 3D model across departments for planning, vendor operations and asset monitoring.
“Using IoT and digital twins in facility management is estimated to generate up to a 20% reduction in both energy and maintenance costs.”
