Do you provide 3D laser scanning across the entire USA?

Yes. Arrival 3D provides 3D laser scanning services in all 50 U.S. states . We maintain regional crews in multiple metro areas and can mobilize nationally for single-site and multi-site portfolio programs. There is no travel surcharge for most projects within the contiguous United States. International projects are also available contact us for details.

What is 3D scanning, and how does it work?

3D scanning is a method of capturing the exact shape and dimensions of physical objects or environments and converting them into detailed digital models. It’s commonly used to document buildings, industrial sites, equipment, and other structures with high precision. How It Works: Capturing Data: A 3D scanner emits laser beams or structured light that reflects off surfaces. The time or angle of the refl

How much does 3D scanning cost?

3D laser scanning costs vary based on building size, complexity, number of floors, deliverable type (point cloud only vs. full BIM model), and access conditions. A small single-floor as-built scan may start at a few thousand dollars, while a full LOD 350 BIM model for a large multi-story building is priced accordingly.

How accurate is your 3D scanning technology?

Our 3D scanning technology delivers high-precision results with typical accuracy ranging from ±1 mm to ±6 mm , depending on the scanner used and site conditions. We utilize the highly precise, Swiss-made Leica RTC360 and other survey grade instruments. We follow rigorous QA/QC processes to ensure reliable and repeatable accuracy. Whether you need as-built documentation, BIM models, or CAD drawings, we tailor the scan resolution and setup to meet your project’s specific tolerance requirements.

Why Choose Arrival 3D to be your scanning partner?

We know you have a choice when you scan. Our 3D laser scanning services rise above our competitors when you consider that we offer: Top Shelf Equipment: Our scanning instruments are modern, state-of-the-art instruments that are always serviced and without flaw. Annual Calibration: Laser scanners can go for many years without receiving their manufacturer-recommended calibration, so many companies skip this step. We don&#8217;t. Its a lot of trouble, its expensive, and it takes a scanner offline every year, but we do it anyway to ensure you get the best possible result every time. <li data-sourc

How long does a 3D laser scan take?

On-site scanning of a typical commercial building (10,000–50,000 sq ft) takes 1–3 days. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time. The complete deliverable including point cloud registration, BIM modeling, and QA is typically ready within 10 business days of scan completion. We provide a project-specific schedule at the quote stage.
