3D Laser Scanning FAQs

To learn more about Lucion’s FARO 3D laser scanning services or to request a quote for your project, simply contact our friendly team. We’ll be happy to discuss your specific requirements, provide additional information, and develop a customised solution that meets your needs and budget. With our expertise and state-of-the-art technology, you can trust Lucion to deliver the high-quality, accurate 3D laser scanning data you need to drive your project’s success. 

The FARO Webshare is a secure, web-based platform that allows clients to easily access and explore their 3D laser scanning point cloud data from anywhere in the world. With this facility, users can: 

  • View and navigate through the point cloud using a standard web browser 
  • Take measurements and extract coordinates directly from the point cloud 
  • Collaborate and share data with project stakeholders 
  • Gain valuable insights and make informed decisions based on the laser scanning data 

The FARO Webshare facility streamlines data sharing and facilitates remote access, eliminating the need for specialised software or high-performance hardware on the client’s side. 

FARO 3D laser scanners are renowned for their high accuracy, with many models capable of achieving millimetre-level precision. The exact accuracy depends on factors such as the specific scanner model, scan settings, and environmental conditions. However, in general, FARO scanners can provide accuracy suitable for most architectural, engineering, and construction applications. 

3D laser scanning data, in the form of point clouds, can be used for a wide range of applications, including: 

  • 3D modelling and visualisation 
  • Building Information Modelling (BIM) integration 
  • As-built documentation and facilities management 
  • Retrofit and renovation projects 
  • Clash detection and design coordination 
  • Quantity surveying and cost estimation 
  • Heritage preservation and restoration 

3D laser scanning offers several key benefits over traditional survey methods: 

  • Efficiency: Laser scanners can capture millions of data points in a matter of minutes, significantly reducing survey time and costs. 
  • Accuracy: With millimetre-level precision, laser scanning provides highly accurate, detailed data that traditional methods can’t match. 
  • Completeness: Laser scanning captures all visible surfaces within its line of sight, ensuring a comprehensive dataset that can be used for various applications. 
  • Safety: The non-contact nature of laser scanning allows for the safe surveying of hazardous or inaccessible areas, minimising risk to personnel. 

3D laser scanning is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that uses a laser to capture the shape and appearance of physical objects or environments. The scanner emits a laser beam and measures the time it takes for the light to reflect from the surface, creating a highly accurate, three-dimensional representation of the scanned area in the form of a point cloud.
