Laser Scan to 3D Model for Retro-fit Design

3D Laser Scan of the Amazon factory, Swansea for retro-fit project
Rhino3D Model with Scan Cloud
Severn have recently completed a project with Gaunt Francis Architects on a scan to 3D model retro-fit project in the Amazon factory, Swansea. The factory; Amazon's largest in the UK is the size of ten football pitches and ships goods across the UK and Europe.

The project was to help the architects design a new staircase that passed through a congested area of the factory. It involved using our Leica C10 laser scanner to laser scan part of the factory. This was then used within Rhino3D to create an accurate 3D block model of all  racking, railings, MEP and building structure that may clash with the proposed staircase design.
