3D Scanning & Design Services
Dyce Engineering Services Limited is pleased to offer reliable 3D scanning services, providing an efficient and precise solution for surveying existing process plants. Our non-contact scanning technology delivers highly accurate results with exceptional detail, and integrates seamlessly with most 3D CAD software.
Using a tripod-mounted scanner similar to traditional surveying equipment, we can capture complex plant and piping areas with remarkable accuracy. Multiple scans are taken, then combined through point cloud registration to generate a detailed 3D model. This model serves as a dependable foundation for designing new installations or making modifications, ensuring all measurements are precise and up-to-date.
We also offer advanced 3D design services, including laser scanning and the integration of new equipment into a 3D environment. This approach facilitates optioneering, allowing for detailed client reviews and enhancing decision-making. Our 3D designs help improve safety, streamline maintenance processes, and optimize overall process efficiency. By visualizing projects in a digital environment, we ensure that all stakeholders can evaluate and refine designs before implementation, minimizing risks and ensuring seamless integration.
Why Choose 3D Scanning?
Accuracy
- Precision: Measurements are typically accurate to within +/- 3mm, with the option for even greater precision if needed.
- High-Quality Data: The scanner captures data at speeds of up to 976,000 points per second and can measure distances up to 130 meters.
Time & Cost Savings
- Faster Surveys: 3D scanning reduces on-site time, lowering manpower costs and associated expenses.
- One Site Visit: The scanner captures all required data in a single visit, eliminating the need for return trips.
- Lower Rework Costs: With precise measurements, the risk of design or fabrication errors is minimized, reducing costly corrections.
- Reduced Access Costs: Areas visible from the ground can be measured without the need for scaffolding or lifts, cutting down on access equipment costs.
Health & Safety
- Reduced On-Site Time: Shorter survey durations help minimize risks in hazardous or high-traffic areas.
- Non-Contact Measurements: The non-contact nature of 3D scanning reduces the risk of burns or injury.
- No Working at Height: Areas within line of sight can be measured from the ground, eliminating the need for scaffolding or ladders, enhancing safety.
