Frequently Asked Questions
3D scanning captures the physical dimensions and spatial layout of an environment using laser technology, creating a digital 3D representation.
Matterport uses infrared sensors for quick, immersive walkthroughs. LIDAR uses laser pulses for high-accuracy scans. Photogrammetry stitches 2D photos into a 3D model using visual data.
Our scans typically offer sub-centimeter accuracy, suitable for architectural, engineering, and construction purposes.
We deliver point clouds (.rcp, .e57, .las), 3D models (.obj, .fbx), and 2D drawings (.dwg, .pdf), among others, depending on your software needs.
For basic viewing, we provide browser-based viewers. For advanced use, software like Revit, AutoCAD, or Navisworks is recommended.
An average home takes 1–2 hours. Large commercial or industrial sites may take several hours to a full day depending on complexity.
Minimal disruption. We can work around schedules and during off-hours when necessary.
A point cloud is a set of data points in space representing surfaces. It is used to create accurate 3D models, floor plans, or BIM files.
Yes, we scan both indoor and outdoor spaces, including building facades, landscapes, and infrastructure.
Costs vary based on size, location, and level of detail. We offer quotes after understanding project scope.
We are based in South Africa but offer scanning services across southern Africa. International services are available on request.
Tidy the area, remove obstructions, and provide access to all areas. For construction or industrial sites, ensure safety compliance.
Yes, we provide files optimized for integration into Revit, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, and other CAD/BIM platforms.
Yes, our Matterport tours provide immersive walkthroughs for real estate, documentation, and marketing.
We use secure storage, encrypted transfers, and NDAs when required to protect your data.
