The Challenge of Scanning Tight Spaces
For a long time, tools like tape measures, photos, and pencils and paper were all considered acceptable ways to document a jobsite or facility. But 3D laser scanning has become the industry standard for general contractors and large facility operators alike. Data capture technology is accurate, efficient and affordable. It allows users to completely freeze jobsites in time so that the work taking place can be compared to the original design.
While they’re a game-changer for digital documentation and 3D modeling, tripod-mounted terrestrial laser scanners are not always the best tool for the job. The dimensions in cluttered, hardto-reach areas on construction sites and indoor facilities need to be measured just as much as wide open spaces. In such cases, the FARO® Freestyle 2 Handheld Scanner is the ideal solution for architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals of every kind.
