SERVICE · SCAN TO CAD

From point cloud
to CAD model.

Engineering-grade as-built modelling: we scan your plant, hall, machine or pipework — and deliver a clean Revit, AutoCAD, IFC or STEP model. Useful for plant retrofits, factory layout optimisation and BIM-based modernisation.

5–10 business days turnaround

SERVICE  ·  As-built modelling

From your reality. Into your CAD.

Old plants don't have up-to-date CAD models. Drawings get lost. Pipework gets re-routed. Walls get added. Then a retrofit project arrives — and no one has accurate geometry.

Our scan-to-CAD service captures your plant with a Faro Focus or Leica RTC360, registers all scan positions, and delivers a clean engineering-grade CAD or BIM model in your preferred format (Revit, AutoCAD, IFC, STEP, DWG).

„We don't deliver a point cloud and call it done. We deliver a clean, named, classified BIM model — ready to engineer against."

Used for plant retrofits, conveyor extensions, bunker re-routing and BIM modernisation across central Europe.

Service capabilities

Three properties that make it engineer-ready.

Survey-grade scanners

Faro Focus, Leica RTC360 — < 5 mm geometric tolerance over a typical 50 000 m² facility.

BIM-grade modelling

Walls, beams, pipework, equipment — modelled, named and classified by our engineers, not auto-generated.

Multi-format output

Revit (RVT), AutoCAD (DWG), IFC, STEP — your preferred format, ready to import into your engineering stack.

How it works

Scan. Register. Model.

Day 1-2: on-site scanning with Faro Focus or Leica RTC360. Day 3-5: registration and georeferencing. Day 5-10: BIM modelling in Revit / AutoCAD / Plant 3D — walls, beams, pipework, equipment. Delivered as clean engineering model.

Applications

Any plant — any retrofit.

Plant retrofits, factory layout optimisation, conveyor extensions, BIM modernisation, equipment replacement.

Why choose us

We model — we don't auto-generate.

Auto-generated models from point clouds are messy. Our engineers model your plant by hand — in BIM-grade quality.

5 mm geometric tolerance

Faro Focus / Leica RTC360 + manual registration = sub-cm precision over 50 000 m².

BIM-grade hand-modelling

Walls, beams, pipework, equipment — named and classified by our engineers. Not auto-generated mesh.

Multi-format delivery

RVT, DWG, IFC, STEP — your engineering team's preferred format, ready to import.

5–10 day turnaround

From scan to delivered model in 5–10 business days, depending on facility size.
