Boolaroo has a long industrial history and continues to develop as an important location for manufacturing, engineering, fabrication and industrial services. The Munibung Road industrial precinct and surrounding areas provide opportunities for businesses investing in new machinery, improving production efficiency and upgrading existing facilities.
Our 3D laser scanning services capture existing factory layouts, industrial machinery, structural steelwork, conveyors, pipework and mechanical equipment, creating accurate digital information for engineering design and future plant modifications.
New machines that fit. Conveyors that fit. Chutes that fit. Production upgrades designed to fit.
3D LiDAR Scanning for Industrial Plant Layouts in Boolaroo
Industrial facilities frequently undergo modifications as manufacturing requirements change, new equipment is introduced and production processes are improved.
However, existing engineering drawings may be incomplete, outdated or unavailable.
Hamilton By Design uses terrestrial 3D LiDAR scanning to capture existing industrial environments and produce registered point clouds that can be used to develop accurate 3D CAD models.
These models help engineers, manufacturers and plant operators understand existing site conditions before committing to equipment purchases, fabrication or installation.
Our industrial scanning services support:
- Existing factory and manufacturing plant layouts
- New machinery installation and relocation
- Conveyor and materials-handling upgrades
- Production line modifications
- Structural steelwork and equipment interfaces
- Pipework, pumps and mechanical services
- Industrial equipment replacement
- Shutdown planning and maintenance upgrades
- Reverse engineering and fabrication documentation
Factory Scanning and Manufacturing Upgrades
Boolaroo’s manufacturing and industrial businesses require practical engineering solutions when installing new machinery or modifying existing production equipment.
Our 3D LiDAR scanning services capture building geometry, floor levels, columns, roof structures, existing machinery and surrounding services.
The resulting point cloud information can be used to develop proposed machinery layouts and identify potential clashes before installation.
This approach helps businesses reduce site rework, improve installation planning and make better use of available manufacturing space.
New Machinery That Fits Existing Factories
Installing new manufacturing machinery can be challenging when existing buildings contain structural columns, overhead services, conveyors and equipment that cannot easily be relocated.
Hamilton By Design combines 3D laser scanning with mechanical engineering and CAD modelling to help businesses assess machinery installations before fabrication or delivery.
We can incorporate supplier CAD models into the scanned environment to assess equipment positioning, maintenance access, material flow and installation clearances.
Whether installing a CNC machine, production line, packaging system or industrial processing equipment, accurate existing-condition information can reduce installation uncertainty.
Conveyor Systems, Chutes and Materials Handling
Hamilton By Design provides 3D scanning and mechanical engineering support for conveyor systems, transfer chutes, hoppers and industrial materials-handling equipment.
Existing conveyors, structural supports, machinery and building services can be captured using LiDAR scanning and incorporated into 3D engineering models.
These models can support conveyor extensions, chute modifications, equipment relocations and new materials-handling arrangements.
By designing around actual site conditions, businesses can identify potential installation clashes before fabrication begins.
Reverse Engineering and Existing Industrial Equipment
Many established manufacturing facilities operate equipment that has been modified over time or no longer has reliable engineering drawings.
Hamilton By Design provides reverse engineering services using 3D scanning and CAD modelling to recreate existing component and equipment geometry.
Applications include machinery guards, equipment housings, fabricated components, mechanical assemblies, replacement parts and industrial equipment modifications.
Where higher dimensional accuracy is required for smaller components, specialised metrology scanning methods can be used.
Pipework, Pumps and Mechanical Plant Scanning
Industrial plant upgrades frequently involve modifications to pipework, pumps, tanks, equipment supports and mechanical services.
3D LiDAR scanning provides a detailed record of existing installations, helping engineers understand available space and coordinate proposed modifications.
Hamilton By Design can use point cloud data to develop mechanical layouts, equipment arrangements and engineering drawings for industrial upgrades.
From 3D LiDAR Scanning to Mechanical Engineering Drawings
Hamilton By Design offers more than site scanning.
As a mechanical engineering business, we combine reality capture with 3D CAD modelling, mechanical design and fabrication documentation.
Our typical workflow includes:
- 3D LiDAR scanning: Capture existing factory layouts, machinery, structural steelwork and industrial equipment.
- Point cloud processing: Register and prepare scan data for engineering applications.
- 3D CAD modelling: Develop models of existing equipment and proposed modifications.
- Mechanical engineering: Design machinery interfaces, conveyors, chutes, pipework and equipment modifications.
- Engineering drawings: Prepare general arrangement drawings and fabrication documentation.
Depending on project requirements, deliverables may include E57, RCP and LAS point clouds, SolidWorks models, STEP files, Parasolid geometry, AutoCAD drawings and PDF engineering documentation.
