Mile High 3D Scanning provides professional spatial data capture and documentation services for commercial and industrial projects throughout the Denver Metro area. Our services range from detailed interior scanning to large-scale site surveys.
Capture comprehensive point cloud data of interior and exterior spaces using terrestrial laser scanning technology. Ideal for as-built documentation, renovation planning, and construction verification.
Long-range LiDAR scanning for large facilities, industrial sites, and exterior building facades. Capture extensive areas efficiently with high-accuracy spatial data.
Professional point cloud processing, registration, and conversion services. Transform raw scan data into usable CAD drawings, BIM models, and other deliverables.
| Feature | 3D Laser Scanning | LiDAR Scanning | Point Cloud Services |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best For | Buildings & interiors | Large sites & facades | Data processing |
| Typical Accuracy | ±2mm | ±5-10mm | Varies by source |
| Range | Up to 130m | Up to 1km+ | N/A |
| Field Work | Yes | Yes | No (data only) |
| Turnaround | 3-7 days | 5-14 days | 2-10 days |
Different technologies have different strengths. Here's how 3D laser scanning compares to alternative approaches:
| Method | Accuracy | Best Use Case | Cost | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terrestrial 3D Laser Scanning | 1-3mm | Interior spaces, complex environments, high detail requirements | $-$$ | Limited to line-of-sight, requires site access |
| Photogrammetry | 5-10mm+ | Large outdoor areas, building facades, sites with good lighting | $-$ | Requires good lighting, texture; struggles with featureless surfaces |
| Drone/UAV Scanning | 5-15mm+ | Large sites, rooftops, building exteriors, terrain mapping | $ | Cannot capture interiors, weather dependent, regulatory constraints |
| Traditional Survey | 1-5mm | Control points, property boundaries, specific measurements | $-$ | Captures individual points (not comprehensive), time-intensive |
Cost ranges: $ = under $1,500, $ = $1,500-$7,500, $$ = $7,500+. Actual costs vary by project scope.
