Method Comparison
Detailed analysis of the differences between traditional measurement and LiDAR technology.
Manual measurement vs. 3D laser scanning
Why measure with a scanner instead of by hand?
SURVEYING YOUR PROJECT SPACE
Dimensional accuracy of the project
Limited information, only 2D
Measurements are typically taken at a single height or plane. This leads to accumulated errors and missing data when closing the drawing.
360º Capture in XYZ
Complete recording of the environment in three dimensions via point cloud. No closure errors, maximum speed, and no data left behind.
COMPLEX GEOMETRIES
Irregular and non-orthogonal shapes
Difficult to fit
Non-orthogonal shapes (curves or unusual angles) end up poorly represented or "forced" to fit on paper.
Geometric fidelity
Captures the exact shape no matter how complex. The 3D model is an identical mirror of the real structure, ready for BIM.
HARD-TO-REACH AREAS
High zones, gaps and corners
Restricted Access
Physical limitation in high areas or gaps. Loss of information where the operator cannot reach due to safety or distance.
Range up to 80m
The laser reaches any point with direct line of sight; it enters gaps and measures distances in all directions with precision.
DELIVERABLES & POST-PROCESSING
From field to office
Manual sketches
Notebook drawings without precision that require drawing diagonals by hand and redrawing everything from scratch at the office.
CAD and BIM-ready files
Point cloud and native files ready for CAD, BIM and 3D modelling. Compatible with all technical software and viewable on any device.
No commitment. Response within 24 business hours.
