Scan to BIM

Overview

Scan to BIM is the process of using 3D laser scanning to capture the exact physical conditions of an existing building or site to create an accurate Building Information Model (BIM).

Key Facts

• Technology: A laser scanner emits millions of laser points per second to measure distances, creating a dense 'point cloud'.
• Accuracy: This point cloud serves as a highly accurate template for modeling as-built conditions.
• Application: Extensively used in renovation, retrofit, and historical preservation projects to eliminate the inaccuracies of outdated 2D blueprints.
