As-Build Modeling: Closing the Gap Between Reality and Design
In today’s busy industries such as construction, energy, and manufacturing, staying up to date with project details is no longer a choice but a necessity. Plans and design prototypes tend to drift out of the real world as a result of on-site developments, maintenance or change over time. That is where As-build modeling comes in, and an accurate digital model of a facility or a building as it exists. Why As-Build Modeling Matters There are no guesswork assumptions in traditional drawings, which can result in expensive mistakes during renovations or expansion. With As-build modeling, project managers and engineers use exact data, which eliminates assumptions. This minimizes errors, accelerates decision-making, and makes new designs integrate perfectly into existing contexts. The Role of Industrial 3D Scanning The process begins with industrial 3D scanning, in which high-end laser scanners record millions of data points on a site. These data points create a "point cloud...
