"Being able to take your 3D design model and drop it into a scanned environment and walk through it like you've already installed it will save time, money, and really improve the project's success” —Travis Sachs, President, 3DS Technologies Inc.
From addressing inaccurate drawings to creating comprehensive digital twins, 3DS Technologies has made it their mission to bring 3D laser scanning technology to a wide range of industries. The company specializes in rapid plant measurement, capturing millions of data points per second to provide highly accurate and detailed representations of facilities. This precision not only saves time and reduces costly errors but also allows for the reusability of data across multiple projects and by various stakeholders.
Travis Sachs, president of 3DS Technologies, discusses how the adoption of laser scanning is shifting from project-specific applications to comprehensive facility-wide data management. As industries recognize the value of having a complete digital record of their assets, the demand for detailed point clouds and digital twins is growing. Travis highlights the benefits of this technology, including improved asset management, enhanced safety through VR and AR applications, and significant time and cost savings. While challenges like data management and sharing persist, tools like Reality Cloud Studio, powered by HxDR, are making it easier to visualize and access this critical information. In collaboration with technology partners like Leica Geosystems, 3DS Technologies is paving the way for a future where laser scanning is an integral part of industrial operations.
