Reasons why portable and mobile scanners should be in construction workflows

Handheld scanners are built for usability, portability and speed and use Simultaneous Locating and Mapping (SLAM) lidar to scan while being held and walked around a jobsite. There are some clear advantages that manual scanning can bring to construction that can make 3D scanning even more cost-effective. YOU CAN SCAN AS FAST AS YOU CAN […]
SLAM: The next generation

Virtual design and construction workflows and the growing adoption of BIM are beginning to revolutionise the construction industry. Traditional stationary laser scanners have evolved over time to be more accurate, powerful and faster than previous generations. In parallel, however, SLAM-based mobile and handheld scanners have carved out a niche of their own. These smaller scanners […]
Mobile 3D scanning technology using SLAM algorithms gets exciting

Mobile mapping technology is extremely valuable. Imagine scanning a 100km road or a shopping mall without it. GPS is part of the suite of sensors that a mobile mapping system uses to determine its position, position relative to the objects it scans, speed and so on. To enter the work into the national reference system […]
