Large Scale 3D Scanning

Accurate and reliable scanning of large scale objects

What can we offer?

At PES Scanning, we offer a comprehensive range of large-scale 3D scanning services, leveraging the latest metrology technologies and equipment. Our experienced team specialises in capturing detailed digital representations of:

  • Large Aircraft and Vehicles: Accurate scans for design, maintenance, and manufacturing.
  • Buildings: Comprehensive scans for Building Information Modeling (BIM) and architectural applications.
  • Historic Structures: Preserve cultural heritage with precise scans of historical buildings and sculptures.
  • Real Environments: Capture real-world scenes for immersive Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) experiences.

Our team carefully assesses each project to select the optimal scanning technology or combination of techniques to ensure the highest quality data capture.

What is Large-Scale 3D Scanning?

Large-scale 3D scanning involves capturing the shape and appearance of large physical objects and environments in three dimensions. This advanced technology utilises various methods, such as:

  • Structured Light: Projects patterns of light onto the object and analyzes the distortions to create a 3D model.
  • LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging): Measures distances by emitting pulses of laser light and analysing the reflected signals.
  • Photogrammetry: Creates 3D models from overlapping photographs.

These techniques enable the creation of highly accurate and detailed 3D point clouds that can be processed into comprehensive digital models.

Applications of Large-Scale 3D Scanning

Large-scale 3D scanning is revolutionising industries across the board. From preserving historical treasures to creating immersive virtual worlds, its applications are vast and impactful. Let’s explore some key areas where this technology is making a significant difference:

  • Architecture & Civil Engineering:
    • Capture existing structures for renovation and restoration projects.
    • Create accurate building models for BIM and construction planning.
  • Entertainment & Gaming:
    • Create realistic virtual worlds and characters for video games and movies.
  • Cultural Heritage Preservation:
    • Digitally preserve historical artefacts, statues, and archaeological sites.
  • Automotive & Aerospace:
    • Design and test new vehicles and aircraft with accurate 3D models.
  • VR/AR:
    • Create immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences.
  • Law Enforcement:
    • Capture crime scenes for forensic analysis and investigation.
