Glass Panels for Staircases - 3D Scanning and Glass Panels Modeling in Geomagic and SolidWorks

3D SCANNING OF BUILDINGS AND LARGE FACILITIES
Nothing compares to 3D scanning when it comes to accurately capturing as-built measurements of a large building. If you have been given the task of creating as-built drawings the old fashioned way, you know how challenging that can be. 3D scanning can relieve you of this burden. A long range 3D scanner can capture an entire facility in a matter of hours with an accuracy that is 1/8″ or better.

STAIRCASES; CANOPIES and HANDRAILS
3D laser scanning services is a great way to capture complex-shaped staircases such as spiral staircases. Our clients use the data captured from 3D scanning to create things like handrails and glass panels. A popular trend with business and high end homes is the use of curved glass panels with stairs. These are especially challenging because they must be prefabricated and can’t be built onsite. Often they are ordered long in advance and shipped in from overseas at great expense. For this reason, it is important that the 3D scans be very accurate, as a mistake could be very expensive. For this reason, failure is not an option.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
We can often scan many flights of stairs in a day. The time needed is primarily dependent on the size of the scan scope area. 3D laser scanning services are ideal for staircases because of the flexibility that is possible with the scanner’s placement. Our scanners are extremely portable and our technicians can bring the scanner to the construction site to capture whatever you need.

HOW ACCURATE IS A 3D SCAN OF A STAIRCASE?
Generally, the scans are accurate to within 1mm and can capture features on the staircase in high detail. It is even possible to capture color, such as if there are marks on the staircase that are of interest. The scanner can capture holes and grooves for mounting hardware and glass panels. What it will not capture is the smile on the customer’s face when they see how perfectly and beautifully everything fits, and how quickly and efficiently you have implemented the job.

WHAT TYPE OF RESULTS CAN YOU RECEIVE FROM STAIRCASE 3D SCANNING SERVICES?
There are several types of files that can be produced as a result of performing 3D scanning services on a staircase, including:
⭐Color point cloud
⭐STL mesh surface
⭐As-built generic model in STP/IGES/DWG
⭐As-built Revit; Geomagic Design X or SolidWorks model
