Our Services
Comprehensive 3D Geospatial Solutions
Obsidian 3D provides a comprehensive suite of 3D scanning services, transforming physical realities into precise, actionable digital assets. Leveraging the state-of-the-art Leica RTC360 laser scanner and a powerful software ecosystem, we deliver unparalleled accuracy and efficiency from initial data capture to final deliverables and integrated project solutions.
-
This core service involves the precise capture of dimensional data from physical objects, structures, and environments, followed by the rigorous processing of this raw data into usable point cloud files.
-
Utilizing the Leica RTC360, we capture millions of measurement points per second with exceptional angular accuracy of 18 arcseconds, a range accuracy of 1.0 mm+10 ppm, and a 3D point accuracy of 1.9 mm at 10 m, 2.9 mm at 20 m, and 5.3 mm at 40 m. This includes interior and exterior building scans, industrial facility scans, complex components for manufacturing, large-scale infrastructure, historical sites, and forensic scenes.
Point Cloud Data Processing:
We provide raw, untrimmed point cloud data in various formats, or internally processed and cleaned datasets. Our internal processing services ensure accurate, cohesive, and usable data through:
-
Precisely combining multiple scans into a single, cohesive dataset, often performed in real-time in the field with Leica Field360 and finalized with Leica Register360.
-
Removing unwanted data points to create a clean and refined point cloud.
-
Optimizing file sizes for easier handling while maintaining necessary detail.
-
Delivering data in formats compatible with your existing software and workflows.
Deliverable File Types & Software Integrations:
We provide point cloud data and derived models in widely compatible formats, ensuring seamless integration into your preferred design and analysis software. For instance, a licensed architect can easily import our point cloud files directly into Autodesk Revit or other leading platforms. Common file types we deliver include:
-
Industry-standard point cloud formats for direct import into most CAD, BIM, and point cloud processing software.
-
Standard CAD formats for 2D and 3D drawings.
-
Native Revit files for BIM projects.
-
Common mesh formats for 3D printing, visualization, and further modeling.
Compatibility with Major Software:
Our deliverables are designed for smooth integration with popular platforms such as Autodesk Revit (Architecture, MEP), AutoCAD, Navisworks, SketchUp, Rhinoceros (RhinoCAD, Rhino 3D), SolidWorks, and many others within the AEC, manufacturing, design, and entertainment industries.
Advanced Data Extraction & Deliverables:
Beyond raw or processed point cloud files, we specialize in extracting critical information and developing intelligent deliverables tailored to your project's needs. Leveraging Leica Cyclone 3DR and other advanced modeling software, we transform point cloud data into actionable intelligence. This includes:
As-Built CAD Models & Documentation:
Transforming point cloud data into intelligent CAD models and comprehensive as-built documentation. This is crucial for enabling efficient design and modification workflows, allowing designers, architects, and engineers to confidently design modifications, integrate new designs seamlessly, and create accurate records for facility management.
Dimensional Analysis:
Extracting precise measurements such as surface areas, volumes, angles, clearances, and deviations from design models.
Structural and Component Analysis:
Determining attributes like percent of structure installed, precise location of elements, and alignment checks for walls, columns, and other critical components.
Building Information Models (BIM):
Developing full BIM models or updating existing ones from scan data, ideal for comprehensive project management, clash detection, and facility management. Leica Cyclone 3DR AI Classification can automate the classification of points into categories like buildings, indoor environments, and pipes to streamline Scan-to-BIM workflows.
3D Models for Design & Visualization:
Creating parametric models, 2D and 3D CAD drawings, and detailed models for rendering, animation, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), or simulations.
Obsidian 3D goes beyond core scanning and processing by offering dedicated Client Representation services. We act as your advocate, coordinating and managing specialized third-party providers to extend the utility of your 3D data into a wide range of applications. This ensures seamless integration and execution of your project goals, reducing your management burden.
