3D surveys

3D surveys - Millimetric precision

Millimetric precision

Data acquisition with a tolerance of only 3 mm over 50 metres, ensuring extremely reliable results.

3D surveys - Reduced working times

Reduced working times

Digital surveys optimize the post-production phase, speeding up model delivery.

3D surveys - Outputs compatible with all software

Outputs compatible with all software

The generated 3D models can be used in the main professional CAD and BIM environments.

Since 2015, Steel & Co. has equipped itself with advanced and innovative digital technology, together with the related software, for scanning, creating, and using three-dimensional environments in the industrial, civil, existing-building restoration, archaeology and heritage, forensic, and public safety sectors. This tool (3D LASER SCANNER) makes it possible to obtain an extremely precise three-dimensional survey of the scanned elements, with a tolerance of 3 mm over a target distance of 50 m, while optimizing office post-processing times. The technicians responsible for post-processing the information collected during the survey phase have developed qualified expertise in using the equipment, as well as in programming and developing the three-dimensional environment generated from the scan.

  • Surveying and measurement campaign;
  • Transfer of data from the device to the computer using dedicated software;
  • Three-dimensional modelling and processing of the surveyed objects, including the generation of 3D files compatible with the main software available on the market.

Il dispositivo hardware ed i software implementati raggiungono livelli di qualità (elevato livello di dettaglio) e prestazionalità elevatissimi potendo generare un prodotto finale ad alta precisione e definizione oltre che flessibile in termini di modellazione. Il dispositivo hardware è sostanzialmente un laser scanner terrestre “LEICA SCAN STATION P20” ad alta precisione per la scansione tridimensionale di qualsiasi tipologia di manufatto/oggetto esistente. La parte software è affidata a due moduli: “Leica Cyclone REGISTER” che è il software che permette l’elaborazione dei dati derivati dal dispositivo scanner e “Leica Cyclone MODEL” che è il software dedicato all’esportazione/importazione dei dati elaborati in CAD (e in altre applicazioni) e per la modellazione automatizzata di precisione degli stessi.

Frequently asked questions about 3D surveying

What is the level of accuracy of a 3D survey?

We use laser scanner devices with a tolerance of just 3 mm over 50 metres, ensuring extremely accurate reconstruction even for complex projects.

Which sectors can this service be applied to?

3D surveying is ideal for industrial, civil, archaeological, and forensic applications, as well as for existing-building restoration and public safety. We adapt our work to the specific needs of each sector.

Can I receive the 3D model in formats compatible with the most commonly used software?

Yes. Our technicians develop 3D models in formats compatible with the main design and modelling software, ensuring smooth integration into your workflow.

How long does the entire process take, from surveying to delivery?

Timelines depend on the complexity of the area to be surveyed, but thanks to advanced software and an experienced team, we ensure fast and optimized deliveries.
