Laser scanning utilizes laser scanners to collect data by controlling laser beam deflection. These scanners can remotely capture the surface shape and several internal layers of buildings, objects, and landscapes. The shape of structures, items or landscapes is referred to as a point cloud by defined by millions of points.

Once the data is collected, the complicated information sets are provided to generate deliverables by means of software in a 3D format. 3D laser scanning improves the entire design experience with reduced errors and reduces costs in comparison with conventional information collection methods.

3D laser scanning is used widely for scanning buildings and their interiors in the architecture, engineering and construction industry. The “As-Built” condition of the site is also utilized by process industry, public authorities, museums, forensics and new-age barcode readers, space flight and laser shows.
