Using a laser scanner, Laser Aviation scans the surface of any object to generate registered measurement points. Then, once the data is collected, we transform that point cloud data into a 3D solid model. The resulting files are exported as STL, STEP, IGES, or ParaSolid files, as well as other file formats as needed.
Digital models created as a result of laser scanning data collection are so precise that the FAA and OEMs are relying on this type of documentation more and more. Take a look at the 3D models provided below for an example of the outputs from the 3D laser scanning and mapping process.
