Scan to BIM
From Laser Scan to Intelligent Building
Models
At Cartospatial Technologies, our Scan to
BIM services transform raw 3D laser scans of buildings and infrastructure into
fully detailed, intelligent Building Information Models (BIM). This
cutting-edge process supports renovation, construction, facility management,
and heritage conservation by creating accurate, data-rich 3D models.
