3-D Laser Scanning

Let's Talk

Tools we use on HD-3D Laser Scanning Jobs

At Valentino & Associates we use a NavVis MLX Handheld 3-D Laser Scanning System. The NavVis MLX is a lightweight, handheld and wearable mobile mapping system utilizing a 32-layer LiDAR sensor, SLAM technology, and four 12 MP cameras. Together with our NavVis IVION Processing, the MLX provides an end-to-end reality capture solution for our laser scanning survey projects, and for Scan to BIM projects.

Our 3D laser scanning equipment  uses advanced LiDAR technology. It collects millions of data points per second, and creates point clouds with an accuracy of ±2 mm. This enables precise documentation of building dimensions, spatial layouts, and structural alignments for verified as-built conditions. Deliverables include 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, 3D meshes, and virtual tours. This real-time data improves collaboration, reduces design errors, streamlines workflows, and enhances project efficiency for architects, builders, engineers, and developers.

The 3D point cloud can be used with software to view, pan, zoom and rotate in 3D.

Why use a Licensed Surveyor to scan?

  • Fully Insured
  • Survey grade scanning control accuracy critical to your project
  • We link boundary and other data to the 3D scan, including hydrographic data.

As-Built Scan to BIM Modelling

Complex indoor and outdoor projects demand more than conventional 3D scans can offer. Our As-Built Scan to BIM service transforms high-density point cloud data into intelligent, coordinated BIM and CAD deliverables — empowering better decisions, reducing risk, and streamlining every phase of your project.
