Interior Design
For interior designers, 3D scanning and modeling provide highly accurate digital representations of interior spaces, allowing you to plan with confidence, integrate new elements seamlessly, and present concepts with unparalleled realism.
This technology streamlines your workflow, minimizes design errors, and enhances client communication.

Precise as-built documentation of existing spaces (walls, ceilings, floors, permanent fixtures) reduces the need for multiple site visits and prevents design errors due to inaccurate measurements. For a complex renovation or redesign of a commercial office space, 3D scanning can capture all dimensions, angles, and ceiling heights in a few hours, providing data that is accurate to within millimeters. This prevents costly misfits during furniture or fixture installation that could lead to thousands of dollars in rework and weeks of project delays if discovered late in the process.
-
Designers can rapidly import accurate 3D models of existing spaces into their design software, allowing for quick iterations and confident placement of new design elements. Creating a precise 3D model of an existing residential space in a single day from scan data allows an interior designer to immediately begin layout and material selection in their preferred software. This cuts down initial measurement and drawing time from days to hours, accelerating the entire design phase by up to 30%.
-
Provide clients with immersive virtual walkthroughs or photorealistic renderings of proposed designs integrated directly into their actual space, reducing guesswork and speeding up approval cycles. Presenting a design via an interactive 3D model allows clients to "experience" the new space, leading to faster decisions. This can reduce the number of client revisions from multiple rounds to one or two, saving tens of hours of design time per project that would otherwise be spent on iterative adjustments and presentations.
-
Obtain exact dimensions and context for designing custom millwork, cabinetry, or furniture that fits perfectly within unique or irregularly shaped spaces. When designing a custom built-in bookshelf for a unique alcove, 3D scanning provides precise, irregular dimensions in minutes. This eliminates manual templating errors that could lead to costly custom fabrication mistakes (e.g., a unit that doesn't fit), potentially saving thousands of dollars in wasted materials and remanufacturing costs.
-
Share accurate 3D models with contractors, electricians, and other trades, ensuring everyone works from the same precise as-built data, minimizing on-site conflicts. Providing installers with a precise 3D model of existing conditions for complex lighting or cabinetry installations can reduce on-site installation time by 10-15% due to fewer adjustments and clearer understanding, saving valuable labor hours and preventing schedule overruns.
