3D Laser Scanning Perth | Engineering-Grade LiDAR & Scan-to-CAD

Engineering-grade LiDAR scanning for industrial, mining and infrastructure projects across Perth and Western Australia.

If you’re planning an upgrade, shutdown or retrofit, accurate as-built data is critical. Hamilton By Design provides engineering-led 3D laser scanning (LiDAR) to capture high-accuracy point clouds that can be used directly for scan-to-CAD modelling, clash detection, fabrication planning and as-built documentation.

We don’t just capture scans — we deliver reality capture that supports real engineering decisions.

What We Deliver

Depending on your project, deliverables can include:

Registered point clouds (E57, RCP, RCS)
2D plans, sections and elevations
Scan-to-CAD models (mechanical, structural, piping)
Interface models for replacement components
Clash detection and constructability reviews
Updated as-built documentation after installation

When 3D Scanning Is the Right Tool

3D laser scanning is ideal when accuracy matters and rework must be avoided:

Plant upgrades and brownfield modifications
Shutdown planning and tie-ins
Structural platforms and access upgrades
Pipework reroutes in congested areas
Equipment replacement where OEM lead times are long
Verification of clearances and interfaces
Asset documentation and digital twin foundations

Industries We Support in WA

Mining and mineral processing
Oil and gas and energy
Ports and materials handling
Water and wastewater treatment
Manufacturing and heavy industry
Building services where engineering accuracy is required

Why Engineering-Grade LiDAR Matters

Not all “3D scanning” is the same. For industrial and engineering outcomes, you need:

Millimetre-level accuracy
Long-range capture across large facilities
Reliable registration and QA checks
Data that integrates directly into CAD workflows

Visual scanning may suit walkthroughs and documentation, but when your project involves fabrication, tie-ins and installation, engineering-grade LiDAR is usually essential.

Our Workflow

Define scope and accuracy requirements
On-site capture with minimal disruption
Registration and quality assurance checks
Delivery of point clouds and/or CAD models
Optional scan-to-CAD modelling and drawings for fabrication

This approach reduces site re-visits and ensures the data is fit for engineering use.

Why Hamilton By Design

Engineering-led team, not just scanning operators
Practical deliverables for construction and fabrication
Strong experience in operating industrial environments
Clear scope, consistent QA and project-ready outputs

Perth and WA Coverage

We support projects across Perth metro and regional Western Australia, including:

Kwinana and Rockingham industrial precincts
Henderson and Naval Base
Port of Fremantle
Project-based mobilisation to Pilbara and Goldfields sites

3D Scanning for Structural Drafting Perth

If you’re searching for SolidWorks Perth, you’re likely looking for reliable SolidWorks drafting support that produces drawings and models that fabricate and install correctly — not just CAD files that look good on screen.

Hamilton By Design provides engineer-led SolidWorks drafting services in Perth, supporting WA fabricators, contractors, and industrial operators with fabrication-ready documentation and practical engineering judgement.

Engineer-Led SolidWorks Drafting Support for Perth & WA Projects

Perth projects often involve brownfield assets, tight access, and programmes where mistakes turn into rework, delays, and cost. The biggest risk isn’t “can we model it?” — it’s whether the drawings reflect:

Site reality
Fabrication constraints
Tolerances and interfaces
Installation sequencing and access

That’s why our SolidWorks drafting is engineering-led.

Who Engages SolidWorks Drafting Services in Perth

Perth clients commonly engage us when they need to:

Outsource SolidWorks drafting with engineering oversight
Update or recreate drawings that no longer match existing plant
Add drafting capacity during tenders, shutdowns, or project spikes
Produce workshop drawings that fabricators can build from
Reduce fit-up risk on modifications and upgrades

Many enquiries start as “hire a SolidWorks drafter Perth” — but our service is built for clients who also want engineering judgement behind every drawing.

SolidWorks Drafting Services We Provide in Perth

Our Perth SolidWorks drafting support includes:

Mechanical part and assembly drafting
Fabrication-ready workshop drawings
Structural and support steel detailing (where applicable)
Upgrade and modification drawing packages
Reverse-engineered part drawings (from site data)
As-built documentation and drawing updates
CAD outputs suitable for fabrication workflows and project handover

All deliverables are created with fabrication and installation readiness in mind — not just CAD accuracy.

Why Engineering-Led Drafting Matters

SolidWorks is a powerful platform, but CAD alone does not prevent project failure.

Engineering-led drafting helps Perth teams by:

Reducing tolerance and interface clashes before fabrication
Producing drawings that are clear and buildable under real constraints
Supporting tender-stage decisions with accurate documentation
Minimising rework and improving shutdown certainty

This approach is particularly valuable on brownfield and shutdown-critical works in WA.

Need Extra Drafting Capacity? Secondment Available

If your Perth team needs extra drafting capacity integrated into your workflow, we also offer engineering-led secondment services.

Learn more about Secondment Services

Secondment is ideal for:

Fabricators scaling up for tenders
Project teams during peak design / drafting loads
Shutdown and brownfield upgrade packages requiring close coordination

Industries We Commonly Support Around Perth

We support SolidWorks drafting and engineering documentation for:

Mining services and resources contractors
Oil & gas / energy infrastructure
Fabrication and structural steel workshops
Ports, logistics, and bulk handling facilities
Manufacturing and industrial maintenance teams

Whether you’re in Perth metro, Kwinana, Henderson, or supporting regional WA operations, we can deliver drafting support with clear scope and disciplined outputs.

How We Differ From Drafting-Only Providers

Many drafting vendors deliver CAD files but do not own fit-up risk.

Hamilton By Design provides:

Engineering ownership, not drafting in isolation
Fabrication-aware drawings aligned to real build constraints
Better interface clarity and reduced interpretation risk
Accountable outputs suited to procurement, fabrication, and installation

This is drafting designed to perform on site.
