Before adopting 3D reality capture hardware and software, JFD Engineering relied on a total station. Their traditional approach involved two people working in the field. After surveying, these two people would return to the office to create drawings. This method worked well in terms of accuracy — but during a labor shortage in the construction industry, it resulted in prolonged working hours for the company.
As such, they made the switch to a 3D laser scanner. Their old total station required two people to do the job; the FARO® Focus Premium Laser Scanner required only one operator.
For JFD Engineering, this immediately doubled their work efficiency and operational efficiency.
