Applications & Case Studies
Real projects and the problems reality capture solved on them. Adaptive reuse of ageing Pittsburgh building stock, roof scanning ahead of solar installation, documenting facilities that cannot be taken offline, and capturing existing conditions before a renovation commits budget. These articles work through the specific situations where 3D laser scanning earns its cost — what was captured, which deliverables came out of it, and what the alternative would have looked like in site visits, rework and risk.
