3D Scanning Engineering in Bunbury
Delivering Precision LiDAR, Modelling & Mechanical Engineering for WA’s Southwest
Bunbury is one of Western Australia’s most dynamic regional centres — a strategic intersection of port operations, alumina processing, heavy industry, agriculture, and commercial development, all wrapped within a fast-growing metropolitan community. With major infrastructure assets, industrial plants, port-side logistics and expansion across the Southwest, Bunbury requires engineering accuracy, digital documentation, and reliable design workflows more than ever.
Hamilton By Design supports Bunbury businesses, fabricators, asset owners and engineering teams with a complete digital-engineering suite: 3D LiDAR laser scanning, 3D CAD modelling, mechanical and structural engineering, and fabrication-ready drafting.
Whether you’re upgrading a conveyor, expanding a processing facility, modernising a workshop, or planning brownfield modifications, we give you the precision tools to design, check and build with confidence.
Why Bunbury Is a Prime Region for Engineering-Grade 3D Scanning
Bunbury’s industrial ecosystem is uniquely diverse, making accurate as-built data extremely valuable:
- Port of Bunbury handles bulk commodities, minerals, woodchips, grain and imports — requiring tight tolerances and constant plant upgrades.
- Alumina and mineral-processing facilities demand exact mechanical and structural layouts for maintenance planning and project execution.
- Industrial workshops, fabrication yards and logistics centres rely on precise modelling for retrofits and expansions.
- Agriculture and food-processing sectors require safe, compliant plant layouts with clear digital records.
- Rapid commercial and civil development often occurs around existing structures, utilities and constraints.
These projects often mix legacy infrastructure with modern upgrades, meaning tape-measure surveys simply aren’t enough. That’s why 3D scanning provides such a significant advantage in Bunbury’s industrial landscape.
3D Laser Scanning — The Foundation of Every Accurate Design
Hamilton By Design uses engineering-grade LiDAR scanning to capture Bunbury sites with millimetre-level accuracy. Our scans collect:
- structural steel, walkways, platforms and supports
- conveyors, chutes, ducting and mechanical equipment
- existing infrastructure layout for brownfield engineering
- terrain, slab levels, pipework, and service locations
- clash points and interference zones that traditional surveys miss
The result is a highly accurate digital twin of your asset — which becomes the basis for safe design, smooth fabrication, and error-free installation.

3D Laser Scanning
From Scan to Model — 3D CAD Modelling That Eliminates Guesswork
Once the point cloud is captured, Hamilton By Design converts it into precise 3D CAD models suitable for mechanical, structural and fabrication workflows.
We deliver:
- complete 3D plant models
- brownfield retrofit geometry
- GA layouts and spatial planning
- digital twins for ongoing maintenance
- equipment modelling with correct reference geometry
- visualisation tools for stakeholders and contractors

For fabricators and engineers in Bunbury, this dramatically reduces rework, aligns teams, and ensures components fit the first time.
Engineering Assessments & FEA for Heavy Industry
With Bunbury’s mix of industrial processing, port logistics and heavy equipment, the region often requires engineering checks to verify structural integrity, mechanical reliability and operational safety.
Hamilton By Design offers:
- structural assessments for frames, platforms, accessways
- mechanical engineering for conveyors, rotating plant, process equipment
- vibration, fatigue and load assessments
- mechanical redesigns and optimisation
- brownfield engineering for shutdown planning
When higher-level verification is required, our FEA capability supports advanced mechanical and structural analysis:
This is especially valuable for high-load environments such as mineral-processing infrastructure and port-side materials-handling systems.
Drafting Services — Fabrication-Ready, Clear and Compliant
Our drafting team converts engineering intent into clear, complete, build-ready documentation:
- fabrication drawings
- detailed part and assembly drawings
- sheet metal, structural steel, piping and mechanical drafting
- isometrics, BOMs and workshop packs
- as-built documentation from LiDAR data
For Bunbury fabricators, this means faster production, fewer errors, and reduced back-and-forth between shop floor and engineering.
