Scan to BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a process that involves capturing accurate 3D data of existing buildings or infrastructure through the use of laser scanning or other similar technologies.
The captured data is then used to create a digital representation of the physical space, known as a point cloud, which serves as the foundation for creating a BIM model.
How it helps your projects?
– Accurate documentation and visualization of existing conditions
– Reducing the need for manual measurements and site visits
– Efficient design modifications and renovations
– Facilitates clash detection, coordination, and collaboration
High-precision laser scanners are used to capture millions of data points by measuring the distance to surfaces within the building or infrastructure. These scanners emit laser beams and measure the time it takes for the beams to return, creating a detailed and accurate point cloud.
Multiple scans of the building are registered and aligned to create a comprehensive point cloud that represents the entire space. This registration process ensures that all the captured data is accurately aligned.
The point cloud is processed to remove any noise, errors, or unwanted elements. This helps to clean and refine the data for further analysis and modeling.
The processed point cloud is then used as a reference to create a BIM model. The point cloud serves as the basis for creating 3D models of architectural elements, structural components, MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems, and other building features.
Relevant information, such as dimensions, quantities, and attributes, can be extracted into the BIM model.
This data can be used for cost estimation, clash detection, facility management, and other purposes.
