Course Description
From inexpensive collection practices such as photogrammetry
to the decreasing cost of laser scanners, the tools that make 3D
capture possible are becoming more cost-effective and available to
a wider audience. And as 3D data capture becomes more utilized
throughout a variety of industries, workflows are becoming more
established, which is leading to an increased understanding of
where it can provide value.

Within the AECO industry (architects, engineers, contractors and owners), the benefits of 3D laser scanning are becoming more evident
through its increased usage to document as-built conditions. Have you ever field measured a project only to realize that you missed
a critical dimension or the object was just out of a photograph? Do you have projects with little or no existing documentation? Those
scenarios lead to additional field visits and missing or inaccurate information. What if you could take 360 panoramic photographs and
measure from them back at the office? What if you could reference those photographs into AutoCAD or Revit and they show up in 3D
and are accurate to ⅛”? Laser scanning provides solutions to these issues and brings more efficiency to the design and construction
process by: delivering more accurate as-built documentation; reducing surveying time and site visits for field measurement ;providing easily
navigable and measurable photography for review; increasing the accuracy of known conditions; reducing change orders and providing
potential for off-site fabrication; and, integrating field documentation directly into your CAD platform.
Learning Objectives
1) Recognize advances in 3D laser scanning in the last couple of years
2) Understand how 3D HD laser scan surveys are taken
3) Utilize the point cloud for visualization, field measurement and CAD/BIM
4) Realize the costs and benefits of utilizing 3D HD laser scanning vs. traditional survey and measurement
