Frequently Asked Questions
What is LiDAR scanning used for?
Topographic mapping, construction, BIM, infrastructure, forestry, environmental analysis, and digital twins.
How accurate is LiDAR scanning?
Modern LiDAR scanners achieve millimeter-level accuracy depending on site conditions and methodology.
How long does a LiDAR scanning project take?
Project schedules are determined by both the scale and intricacy of the area. Typically, scanning is finished within a few hours, while processing the data takes approximately 2 to 5 days.
Can LiDAR scanning be used for historical sites?
Yes! LiDAR is non-invasive, making it perfect for heritage site preservation and restoration without damaging structures.
What industries benefit from LiDAR scanning?
Industries ranging from construction and engineering to architecture, urban planning, forestry, and environmental monitoring all reap significant benefits from high-precision 3D LiDAR mapping.
Is drone LiDAR better than photogrammetry?
For vegetation, elevation modeling, and high-precision engineering—yes. LiDAR captures geometry photogrammetry cannot.
Do you provide BIM or CAD models from LiDAR?
Yes — ScanM2 specializes in full Scan-to-CAD and Scan-to-BIM workflows.
