3D Laser Scanning Surveys
Capture the built environment with millimetre accuracy.
PointSCAN delivers high-definition 3D laser surveys that transform real-world spaces into precise digital data for design, engineering, and construction.
What Is a 3D Laser Scanning Survey?
3D laser scanning is a modern survey technique that uses laser measurement technology to capture millions of data points per second. The result is a dense, high-accuracy point cloud — a digital record of the real-world environment that can be viewed, measured, and modelled in CAD or BIM software.
At PointSCAN, we use advanced FARO Focus scanners to capture internal and external environments safely, efficiently, and in incredible detail. Our surveys provide a reliable foundation for design, engineering, and asset management — ensuring every millimetre of your site is accurately recorded.

Get More Accurate Measurement Data with 3D Laser Surveys
The benefits of laser scanning include:
Accuracy – It has an accuracy of plus or minus 1mm, which means that it’s accurate enough for most applications.
Speed – For small objects (under 2m), scans can be completed in just minutes.
Versatility – Point cloud scans can be performed on almost any type of surface, including curved surfaces and objects with moving parts.
