Meta Description (for SEO):
Discover how Hamilton By Design uses 3D scanning, LiDAR technology, and advanced 3D modelling to ensure every part fits perfectly on site. Reduce rework, improve accuracy, and build with confidence.
The Future of Engineering Accuracy
When it comes to engineering, fabrication, and site installation — accuracy is everything. Even a few millimetres out can mean costly rework, delays, and lost time.
At Hamilton By Design, we bring together 3D scanning, LiDAR technology, and precision 3D modelling to capture the real-world geometry of your site and convert it into usable, reliable digital models. The result? Components that fit together seamlessly — first time, every time.
What Is LiDAR 3D Scanning?
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser light to map physical environments in extraordinary detail. Our scanners capture millions of data points per second, creating a precise digital “point cloud” of your plant, equipment, or structure.
Unlike traditional surveying, LiDAR scanning provides high-resolution, three-dimensional measurements that reflect the exact conditions on site — no assumptions, no approximations.
This allows engineers and designers to work with accurate as-built data, reducing the risk of design clashes and installation errors.
From Scan to Model: Turning Data Into Design Confidence
After scanning, Hamilton By Design processes the LiDAR data into intelligent 3D CAD models. These models can be imported into major design platforms such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, and Plant3D — ensuring complete compatibility with your existing workflows.
Our experienced mechanical designers use this data to:
- Validate and verify existing plant layouts
- Model new mechanical components and assemblies
- Check alignment and clash detection before fabrication
- Create fabrication-ready models and installation drawings
This digital workflow ensures every piece — from piping spools to structural frames — fits perfectly when installed on site.
The Benefits of 3D Scanning and LiDAR Modelling
✅ Unmatched Accuracy: Sub-millimetre precision that eliminates rework.
✅ Time Efficiency: Rapid data capture across complex or hard-to-access areas.
✅ Improved Safety: Remote scanning reduces time spent in high-risk environments.
✅ Reduced Downtime: Capture plant data without interrupting operations.
✅ Seamless Integration: Easily merge mechanical, structural, and piping models.
Applications Across Industries
Our 3D scanning and LiDAR services support projects in:
- Mining and mineral processing
- Oil, gas, and energy facilities
- Water and wastewater plants
- Manufacturing and industrial upgrades
- Brownfield and retrofit projects
No matter the scale or complexity, accurate digital capture means faster delivery and fewer surprises once the project reaches site.
Real-World Results
Clients who incorporate 3D scanning into their project planning often report:
- Up to 50% reduction in on-site rework
- Shorter installation times
- Improved cross-discipline collaboration
- Higher fabrication quality
By identifying spatial conflicts before fabrication, Hamilton By Design helps ensure your project runs smoother — saving both time and money.
