Technical preparation of a survey: 3D scanning

At pointSpace, we know that good technical preparation is the key to high-quality 3D scanning surveys. Indeed, understanding the purpose of the survey and preparing accordingly is the key to a successful result that captures all the essential information. Here's how we prepare for our surveys and what we offer to meet your 3D scanning needs.



1. Analysis of obstructions

Obstructions can affect the accuracy of our surveys. This is why we conduct a preliminary site survey to identify potential obstructions such as fixed furniture, clearance heights, ceiling spaces or the amount of equipment on the floor. We then carefully plan the scanning positions to take account of these obstructions and determine the equipment required to meet these working conditions. This step guarantees efficient measurement while ensuring we deliver a product that meets your needs.

2. Brightness management

Obstructions can affect the accuracy of our surveys. This is why we conduct a preliminary site survey to identify potential obstructions such as fixed furniture, clearance heights, ceiling spaces or the amount of equipment on the floor. We then carefully plan the scanning positions to take account of these obstructions and determine the equipment required to meet these working conditions. This step guarantees efficient measurement while ensuring we deliver a product that meets your needs.

3. Security and site access

Obstructions can affect the accuracy of our surveys. This is why we conduct a preliminary site survey to identify potential obstructions such as fixed furniture, clearance heights, ceiling spaces or the amount of equipment on the floor. We then carefully plan the scanning positions to take account of these obstructions and determine the equipment required to meet these working conditions. This step guarantees efficient measurement while ensuring we deliver a product that meets your needs.

4. Equipment verification and calibration

Obstructions can affect the accuracy of our surveys. This is why we conduct a preliminary site survey to identify potential obstructions such as fixed furniture, clearance heights, ceiling spaces or the amount of equipment on the floor. We then carefully plan the scanning positions to take account of these obstructions and determine the equipment required to meet these working conditions. This step guarantees efficient measurement while ensuring we deliver a product that meets your needs.

5. Documentation and planning

Obstructions can affect the accuracy of our surveys. This is why we conduct a preliminary site survey to identify potential obstructions such as fixed furniture, clearance heights, ceiling spaces or the amount of equipment on the floor. We then carefully plan the scanning positions to take account of these obstructions and determine the equipment required to meet these working conditions. This step guarantees efficient measurement while ensuring we deliver a product that meets your needs.

6. Weather conditions

Obstructions can affect the accuracy of our surveys. This is why we conduct a preliminary site survey to identify potential obstructions such as fixed furniture, clearance heights, ceiling spaces or the amount of equipment on the floor. We then carefully plan the scanning positions to take account of these obstructions and determine the equipment required to meet these working conditions. This step guarantees efficient measurement while ensuring we deliver a product that meets your needs.

7. Technical preparation of the team

Our team is always up to date with the latest 3D scanning technologies and techniques. We invest in ongoing training and carry out regular simulations and exercises to maintain a high level of competence. This expertise enables us to provide you with accurate, high-quality surveys.

The technical preparation of a 3D scanning survey is an essential step in ensuring the success of your project. By taking into account obstructions, light management, safety, equipment calibration, documentation, weather conditions and team skills, we maximize the efficiency and accuracy of our surveys.
