The cloud points is the result of 3D laser scanning and it's the ensemble of millions of points measured in a particular environment and placed in a space following a fixed system of reference. The cloud point is visible through specific software some of them freeware and it has got all the information of the survey. Importing it inside the software CAD or BIM assure a survey precision never reached until now. Sometimes the cloud point it's better in terms of time and money than the other processes because allow you to see a 3D image of the area detected, you can measure the distances among the points and make camparaison among the models.

It's obviously possible the realisation of 2D projects, characterised by a more elevated detail than the traditional ones. The digitisation takes place by using laser orthogonal images (orthophotos) extracted from the cloud points or importing directly the cloud points inside the software CAD or BIM. 3DSURVEY offers two interesting solutions: processing and restitution complete with plants, projects and sections in CAD form (.dwg or .dxf) or in paper form in scale. It's also possible to give you files set for the restitution of orthophotos based on cloud points from which professionals can indipendently vectorialize the laser orthophotos provided at an extremely low cost.
 

3D survey is necessary for the execution of specialised analysis of the structure: it is possible carrying out a wide range of analysis on the interested elements: testing geometries, shape, deformations, areas and of the structural decline. “Slices” to the clearances can be extracted from the cloud points in the position decided by the operator both in vertical and horizontal position; from these you can obtain every detailed development to put in evidence the point/s where the 3D model  planned “touch” in the cloud points.

The characteristics of speed, precision, accuracy and versatility of the laserscanner surveys are essential in many construction activities. The speed of data acquisition allows to reduce the downtime of the yard and the presence of foreign personnel with not negligible reflections also for the purpose of safety management. Precision and accuracy mean that the data obtained are free from possible errors made by the operators at the measurement stage and prevent other errors from being made during the graphic processing of the survey. The quantity, the quality and the completeness of the acquired data allow the use of the laserscanner survey for multiple activities: from the yard accounting, to the as built design verifications, to the precision machining as the realization of continuous facades, cladding, decorative or protective elements regardless of the complexity of their shape and size. The data, once processed and inserted in dedicated softwares, can be managed by numerically controlled machines to generate prototypes or finite elements or to produce objects with 3D printers.
