3D Laser Scanning
Terrestrial 3D laser scanning services for commercial, industrial, healthcare, and institutional buildings across New York State. Sub-millimeter point accuracy, registered point clouds, and deliverables compatible with every major BIM platform.
How CG3D delivers it
CG3D performs terrestrial 3D laser scanning with high-density survey-grade scanners. Every project starts with a control plan, target placement, and a documented scan sequence so registration accuracy can be verified before modeling begins.
We deliver registered, classified, and cleaned point clouds in RCP, E57, LAS, and PLY formats — ready to drop into Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, or any BIM platform your team uses.
Common use cases include pre-renovation as-built capture, above-ceiling MEP documentation, exterior facade scans, industrial plant scans, and historic preservation.

Frequently asked questions
What accuracy can I expect from a 3D laser scan?
Our scanners deliver sub-millimeter point accuracy. Registered to building-wide control, the deliverable point cloud is typically accurate to within 1/8 inch — sufficient for sheet metal fabrication and structural verification.
How long does an on-site scan take?
A typical commercial floor takes 1–2 days. Whole-building scans of larger facilities run 3–5 days. Above-ceiling-only scopes are often completed in a single day.
What deliverables do I receive?
Registered point clouds in your preferred format (RCP, E57, LAS, PLY), a registration accuracy report, and an optional web-based viewer for stakeholder review.
