Trimble’s advanced 3D scanning systems
Capture data quickly and safely with immense detail and accuracy.
Scan with Confidence
Scan with the confidence and produce results you can trust. Whether you’re doing a topographic survey, capturing as-builts, performing comprehensive data analysis, new construction or a renovation model, Trimble empowers quick and accurate scanning, registration and creation of comprehensive deliverables.
Key Benefits
Speed, Accuracy, and Consistency
3D laser scanning enables a fast and accurate means of collecting millions of measurable data points in seconds to provide pinpoint accuracy, every time.
Valuable Data for Design
Datasets are dimensionally accurate, measurable, and shareable, so you can eliminate any guesswork back at the office.
Works on Retrofits and New Builds
For detailed MEP installations, you need a high level of accuracy. If your project is complex, involves retrofits, or requires refurbishment, you can capture precise data over the full measurement range.
