BIM, or Building Information Modeling, is a digital representation of a building's physical and functional characteristics. Integrating BIM with PDMS enables better coordination, enhances data sharing, and supports more effective project management across the lifecycle of industrial and plant projects.
What is LOD, and how does it apply to PDMS models?
LOD, or Level of Detail, refers to the amount of information contained within a model. Our PDMS models offer various LODs, from basic to highly detailed, depending on the client’s requirements and the project's complexity, ensuring optimal balance between model detail and project scope.
Can you tailor PDMS models to specific industry standards and client requirements?
Yes, we customize our PDMS models to align with specific industry standards and individual client needs. This includes adapting models to comply with local regulations, incorporating client-specific safety and operational zones, and ensuring precise spatial configurations.
CAD & AS-BUILT 3D Modeling Services
At our company, we offer advanced CAD and AS-BUILT 3D modeling services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients in the mechanical engineering sector. Our expertise spans from creating basic CAD models using simple primitives to developing detailed AS-BUILT 3D models derived from point cloud data.
We understand that each project has unique requirements. Depending on the client's needs, we create CAD models starting from simple geometric primitives like cubes, cylinders, and spheres. These basic shapes are the building blocks for representing the current state of parts, machines, systems, or entire industrial plants. Our CAD models serve as an essential starting point for project preparation, design, and implementation. Using industry-leading software such as AutoCAD and SolidWorks, we ensure that these models are precise and reliable, facilitating efficient project planning and execution.
For more complex projects, we provide AS-BUILT 3D modeling services that capture the true state of existing structures. Utilizing high-resolution 3D scanning technologies, we gather detailed point cloud data that represents the exact surface geometry of objects. This data is processed using tools like Autodesk ReCap and Leica Cyclone to generate accurate 3D models. These models offer a comprehensive visualization of the built environment, crucial for documentation, maintenance, inspections, and retrofitting projects.
Our services also include the integration of simple primitives with detailed AS-BUILT models, providing a flexible and efficient approach to modeling. This hybrid method allows us to create initial frameworks using simple shapes and refine them with detailed point cloud data as needed. The result is a highly accurate model that meets all project requirements.
Our CAD and AS-BUILT 3D models are used in various applications, including:
•Project preparation and design
•Maintenance and inspection planning
•Retrofit and renovation projects
•Documentation and archival
With our comprehensive modeling services, clients benefit from improved project accuracy, better communication among stakeholders, and enhanced project outcomes. Trust us to deliver high-quality, precise models that support your engineering needs from start to finish.
In the posts below, you can find more information about this type of data, as well as examples from customers who have implemented these data in engineering analysis.
What is the difference between CAD models and AS-BUILT 3D models?
CAD models are typically created from scratch using design specifications, while AS-BUILT 3D models are generated from actual point cloud data captured from the physical site. AS-BUILT models reflect the real-world conditions of a project, making them ideal for documenting existing structures or installations.
How are AS-BUILT models created from point cloud data?
AS-BUILT models are created by capturing point cloud data of the existing environment using laser scanning. This data is then processed to create a precise 3D model that accurately represents the current state of the structure or installation, allowing for detailed analysis and planning.
What types of CAD models can you create?
We create CAD models ranging from simple geometric primitives to complex, detailed representations based on project requirements. Our CAD modeling services can be customized for various applications, from basic design concepts to intricate mechanical components and assemblies.
What is hybrid modeling, and when is it used?
Hybrid modeling combines CAD and AS-BUILT data to create a comprehensive model that reflects both design specifications and real-world conditions. It’s particularly useful in retrofit or upgrade projects, where new components need to fit seamlessly within existing structures.
How accurate are the AS-BUILT 3D models created from point clouds?
Our AS-BUILT models have high accuracy, typically within a tolerance of ±1mm between the scanned object and the resulting point cloud. For final 3D models, accuracy can be tailored to meet specific project requirements, ranging from ±1mm to ±1cm, depending on client needs.
What software do you use to create CAD and AS-BUILT models?
We use leading industry software such as AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, and specialized point cloud processing software to ensure that our models are compatible with various platforms and meet client requirements.
