Creating measurement drawings
Creating a measurement drawing of an object is very easy with a 3D scanner that will allow you to easily transform a 3D object into a familiar 2D plan with exact dimensions.
3D equipment significantly reduces the work time of a specialist at the measurement stage and makes it possible to measure an object of any size and space geometry.
Integration of scanned data
into CAD for further editing or comparison of
with a mathematical model
3D scanning produces a highly accurate 3D model that can calculate the area of the scanned surface much faster than traditional methods. 3D scanning technologies help to solve the problems of collision detection, calculation of useful areas of objects, design deviations and preservation of cultural heritage.
Restoration of project documentation
With the development of 3D technologies, it became possible to create project documentation in a short time, identify discrepancies between real objects and drawings, and analyze the state of the building. 3D scanning allows you to recreate lost design documentation and make changes to it in just a few hours, instead of several days of measuring work with the traditional method.
Verification of product assembly in design
Thanks to 3D scanning technologies, it has become much easier to design and manufacture new components, parts and assemblies, as well as to control the assembly of products at all stages of production. In a few hours you can get a 3D model of the source and make calculations and check the assembly of parts.
Exact copy
products
3D scanning makes it possible to make exact copies of products and high quality standards in a fairly short time.
3D scanning services help to ensure the production of high-precision copies of products for import substitution of parts.

3D ground laser scanning
Point cloud examples
Despite the fact that the first terrestrial 3D scanners appeared in the last century, there is no reason to state that 3D laser scanning technology is widely used in geodesy. The main reasons, probably, are the still high cost of such systems and the lack of information on how to use them effectively in various applications. Nevertheless, interest in this technology and its demand in the market of geodetic equipment are growing exponentially every year.
What is a 3D laser scanner?
According to the type of information received, the device is in many ways similar to a total station. Similar to the latter, the 3D scanner uses a laser range finder to calculate the distance to an object and measure vertical and horizontal angles to obtain XYZ coordinates. The difference from a total station is that daily shooting with a ground-based 3D laser scanner is tens of millions of measurements. Obtaining a similar amount of information from a total station will take more than one hundred years ...
The initial result of a 3D laser scanner is a point cloud. In the process of shooting, three coordinates (XYZ) and a numerical indicator of the intensity of the reflected signal are recorded for each of them. It is determined by the properties of the surface on which the laser beam falls. The point cloud is colored depending on the degree of intensity and after scanning looks like a three-dimensional digital photo.
Most modern models of laser scanners have a built-in video or photo camera, so that the point cloud can also be painted in real colors.
In general, the operation of the device is as follows. The laser scanner is mounted opposite the object to be filmed on a tripod. The user sets the required point cloud density (resolution) and survey area, then starts the scanning process. To obtain complete data about an object, as a rule, it is necessary to perform these operations from several stations (positions).
Then the initial data received from the scanner is processed and the measurement results are prepared in the form in which they are required by the customer. This stage is no less important than field work, and is often more time-consuming and complicated. Profiles and sections, flat drawings, three-dimensional models, calculations of areas and volumes of surfaces - all this, as well as other necessary information, can be obtained as the final result of working with a scanner.
Where can laser scanning be used?
Main applications of 3D scanning:
- industrial enterprises
- building and architecture
- road shooting
- mining
- monitoring of buildings and structures
- documentation of emergencies
This list is far from complete, since every year users of laser scanners perform more and more unique projects that expand the scope of technology.
Laser Scanning from Leica Geosystems - History of Laser Scanners
The history of Leica laser scanners began in the 90s of the last century. The first model 2400, then under the Cyra brand, was released in 1998. In 2001, Cyra entered Leica Geosystems into the HDS (High-Definition Surveying) division. Now, after 14 years, Leica Geosystems introduces a line of two scanning systems on the market.
As mentioned above, 3D laser scanning is used in completely different areas, and there is no universal scanner that would effectively solve all problems.
For shooting industrial facilities where a long range is not required, but the model must be very detailed (that is, an accurate high-speed device is needed), the Leica ScanStation P30 laser scanner will be optimal: range up to 120 m, speed up to 1,000,000 points per second.
Completely different requirements are imposed on the scanner when it comes to shooting opencast mines and storages of bulk materials in order to calculate volumes. Here, centimeter accuracy of the rangefinder is enough, and the shooting range and protection from weather conditions and dust come to the fore. The ideal tool for scanning in such conditions - Leica HDS8810 with a range of up to 2,000 m and IP65 dust and water resistance. In addition, this device is the only one on the market of scanning systems that operates in the temperature range from -40 to +50 degrees. That is, the HDS8810 is a laser scanner that works in all weather conditions.
The key model of Leica Geosystems' HDS division is the Leica ScanStation P40 .
The famous and most popular ScanStation line in the world, whose history began in 2006, was replenished in April 2015 with the P40 scanner. The P40 inherited the accuracy and speed from the previous model, but has become more long-range, and the data quality has become even better. In terms of the range of tasks to be solved, this device is truly a leader in its segment. It is no coincidence that despite the "youth" of this model, it has already gained wide popularity in the world.
Laser Scan Data Processing Software (Point Clouds)
It is impossible not to say a few words about the software for processing data received from the scanner. Potential customers pay undeservedly little attention to this component of the 3D laser scanning system, although data processing and obtaining the final result of the work are no less important stages of the project than field work. The range of Leica HDS software is truly the widest on the laser scanning market.
The main element of the spectrum is, of course, the Cyclone complex.
This modular software system is rightfully considered the most popular in the world and has a large package of tools for processing data obtained using a scanner. Leica also has a number of more highly specialized programs. For those who are accustomed to working in traditional CAD, there is a series of software products Leica CloudWorx embedded in AutoCAD, MicroStation, AVEVA and SmartPlant, which allows users of these programs to work directly with point clouds. 3DReshaper builds high-quality triangulation models of object surfaces and allows you to monitor deformations by comparing object surveys taken over different periods of time. The Leica HDS line of software even includes software for processing scan data in forensics.
Thus, laser scanning from Leica Geosystems is a whole complex of software and hardware solutions. For every, even a highly specialized task, Leica has a scanner + software combination that will help solve this problem as efficiently as possible.
