SiteScape, which features LiDAR-enabled 3D scanning for iOS devices, manages all three vectors with one simple app-based solution, capturing scale accurate 3D scans of buildings, rooms, and spaces with the simplicity of taking a standard photo or video. Users can create high resolution 3D scans in real time, convert scans into BIM and CAD models, make measurements, add comments and photo annotations, and share models with teammates or export them in a variety of formats for use in 3D modeling software.
SiteScape enables LiDAR equipped mobile devices to easily capture indoor spaces digitally, providing a readily available entry-point to scanning physical spaces for a broad range of AEC and O&M applications.
Central to SiteScape’s success is its unparalleled ability to democratize data; to make information accessible to all project stakeholders, as well as clients. Integrating SiteScape’s iOS-enabled LiDAR capability into FARO Sphere further streamlines multiple capture methods into a centralized environment, accessible in a single environment. This unique capability ensures construction and facilities operators/managers access to the widest portfolio of reality capture methods in the market, which include: Lidar, 360° photo, video, mobile mapping and terrestrial laser scanning.
Whether you’re looking to save time, reduce rework, and deliver higher quality projects by enabling workers on and off the jobsite to communicate and coordinate using full 3D context, SiteScape is the fastest and easiest way to achieve those goals.
Features of SiteScape
- Document, share and troubleshoot problems on site
SiteScape uses the LiDAR sensor in the latest Apple devices to create high resolution 3D scans in real time and enables users to easily make measurements, add comments, and share models with teammates or export them in a variety of formats for use in 3D modeling software like Revit. - Photo Annotation
Photo annotations makes SiteScape the ultimate site inspection tool. 3D scans with embedded photos provide the best of both worlds with spatial dimensions and context from the scan plus fine grain details like small objects and readable text. - BIM and CAD Model Conversion
With Order BIM, the latest SiteScape feature in partnership with Integrated Project Technologies and its BIMIT platform, users receive editable, design-ready BIM and CAD files in industry-standard file formats in as little as one business day at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions, saving hours on drafting and 3D modeling. - Super fast scanning
One tap scanning means maximized speed and a great first step at the beginning of a project for retrofit or renovation. With an iOS-based LiDAR scan, field engineers can gain an understanding of the physical space they’re working with and to help guide informed decisions on what’s going to remain, what’s going to be removed, and what new elements need to be brought together to complete the project. - Inch-level accuracy
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a scan is worth a thousand measurements. Get inch-level accuracy and the full context with the only app that can accurately capture at the building-scale, up to 5,000 ft² or 500 m², with SiteScape Multi-Scan.
Business value of SiteScape
- Deliver higher quality projects
Bring better references into your 3D modeling software so that you can reconcile design plans with existing conditions and help your client visualize the finished project. - Reduce costs
Maximize your investment by streamlining costs. App-based LiDAR scanning is a cost-effective way to capture what you need without extra cost. - Capture in seconds
SiteScape only requires an iPhone or iPad and the ability to hold and point the device in the direction of the object/s you want to capture. This speed and ease of use has an important multiplier effect, allowing project stakeholders to complete tasks faster and have the added time to win new business. - Document and share
With 3D capture this fast, it’s finally possible to keep BIM models up to date so that the whole team can operate with the latest information. Just take a scan of what’s changed and send it straight to your modeler. Eliminate static photo ambiguity and ensure all project stakeholders have the information they need to identify the right solution. - Technology familiarity
Without the need for custom hardware, SiteScape is as plug-in-play as it gets. Today, with over 1 billion active iPhone users in the world, 3D laser scanning has never been this easy or efficient. If you can use an iPhone, you can use your new scanner. The lack of learning curve and comfort using the technology means specialist and generalists alike can get to scanning, fast.
