Drone LiDAR, or 3D scanning, is the ultimate reality capture tool for producing a digital twins and other models. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) laser scanning captures massive amounts of data to provide a precise digital twin of any physical object: buildings, infrastructure, fixed equipment, mobile assets and topography.

We are a pioneering 3D scanning company serving major projects in Phoenix and beyond. With clients around the globe, our 3D models and maps are used by engineers, architects, manufacturers, facility managers, BIM managers and community planners for:

  • Project planning
  • Construction verification
  • Change detection and monitoring
  • Smart building management
  • IoT innovation planning
  • Smart city planning

Digital Twin Employ AI

Digital twins created by laser scanning and special software programs have been around for more than two decades. Thanks to AI, today’s digital twin is capable of far more than any predecessor. AI algorithms and machine learning enable digital twins to perform critical functions in every phase of a building’s life cycle, from design to construction to daily operations.

A dynamic virtual partner to its real-world counterpart, a digital twin can monitor, analyze, optimize, and troubleshoot. It can be used to simulate processes, predict maintenance, inform decision making, and more. And with AI, the digital twin becomes more capable over time, as the artificial neural network uses the amassed historical data to become “smarter.”

LiDAR Services

Using drone LiDAR scanning allows us to operate at safe distances from dangerous or inaccessible areas. We provide accurate, repeatable measurement data to produce 2D and/or 3D digital maps and models. Our services generally save our clients 3 to 10 times the cost of the service and help to avoid project delays and cost overruns.

In most cases, your day-to-day operations are not affected in any way by the presence of our drone pilots - eliminating costly downtime. Remote sensing allows us to operate at safe distances from dangerous or inaccessible areas.

Rely on our expertise

With more than 60,000 hours of LiDAR expertise since 2002, we specialize in planning the best approach, using the right technology, providing accurate 3D scans and delivering the data in the format you require for your project. Our methods are non-invasive and don’t put your people at risk.

Deliverables in any format

Our experts can deliver data in any CAD, non-CAD, 2D and/or 3D format you require:

  • Point clouds
  • 3D CAD
