Melbourne hosts some of Australia’s largest engineering, fabrication, and industrial project teams. Hamilton By Design provides high-accuracy 3D laser scanning, point-cloud modelling, and fabrication-ready engineering that supports projects across the CBD, northern manufacturing precincts, and major industrial corridors.
Whether you’re upgrading brownfield plant, validating as-built conditions, or preparing a new fabrication package, our scan-to-model workflow ensures your work fits first time, every time.
Why Melbourne Chooses 3D Laser Scanning for Engineering Projects

Our Scan-to-Engineering Workflow
1. On-Site 3D Laser Scan
Using high-accuracy terrestrial scanners, we capture all mechanical, structural, and spatial geometry.
2. Point Cloud Processing
We register and clean the data to produce engineering-grade point clouds.
3. CAD Modelling
We convert the point cloud into:
- SolidWorks models
- STEP or Parasolid geometry
- Fabrication drawings
- Interface surfaces
4. Engineering Validation
We check:
- Flange alignment
- Centreline accuracy
- Structural fit
- Access and maintenance space
- Clash-free positioning
5. Digital Deliverables
Delivered in the format your engineering or fabrication team needs.
