FARO Data processing and scan registration software
FARO SCENE Software is where data processing and scan registration happens. With 3D SCENE Software, users can create stunning 3D visualizations of real-world objects and environments and export that data in various formats.
SCENE Impressive Virtual Reality (VR) view
SCENE also features an impressive virtual reality (VR) view, allowing users to experience and evaluate captured data in the VR environment.
SCENE Interactive Registration
With SCENE users can also benefit from two key features: Interactive Registration and Hybrid Registration. Interactive scan registration provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface, allowing users to visualize how individual scans are linked together during the registration process and to manually control how those linkages are made.
SCENE Hybrid registration
Hybrid registration allows cloud-to-cloud, targets, and survey control to be used together, separately or in various combinations.

Data processing software

On-demand, accurate and complete information
Redesign of a building for repurpose, enhancement or maintenance requires on-demand, accurate and complete information of the as-built site to ensure your ideas will work. Failure in design results in cost overruns, unnecessary rework and diminished quality.
BIM Extraction
Use automatic tools to extract objects and object systems for several disciplines of architecture and craft trades, plant engineering, MEP engineering, structural engineering and civil engineering. Powerful tools allow you to apply constraints to the design (e.g., keep highest accuracy while forcing the extracted model to be watertight).
Floor Plans, Elevation Plans and Facade Plans
Creating slices and cross sections in the point cloud provides an overview of the as-built situation. Automatic tools help you extract line models and accelerate the creation of floor or elevation plans. Orthographic images of facades, which can be used in the CAD system, help to precisely plan assembly structures or preservation tasks.
CAD Extraction
Extraction of surfaces and exporting in common CAD exchange formats (DXF, STEP, IGES) allow you to turn the point cloud into a CAD model, which can be used in your well-known CAD systems as an accurate as-built representation of the site.
Design Validation
Virtually overlay your design with the as-built site in order to check if it will fulfill the clearance requirements or if it must be adjusted to avoid clashes. Tools for automatic surface deviation analysis or clash/clearance detection keeps the time investment to a minimum.
Precise Measurement
Take measurements with millimeter-level accuracy. Measure distances, areas, volumes, clearances or highly precise tie-in points to bring your designs to next-level quality.

Precise As-Built data

Validation to Design Model
Visualize where the construction site deviates from design. Measure differences, plan accordingly and track progress — ensuring that buildings are constructed to exact model specifications.
Tolerance Evaluation
Embed tolerances into charts and highlight areas of the construction site that are out of agreed tolerances. Document these areas for immediate rework.
Continuous Data Synchronization
Minimize lost data, thanks to uninterrupted point cloud data sharing.
Liability Documentation
Digitally detect and document unexpected issues for transparent proof of construction progress.
Compliance with ASTM E1155, TR34 and DIN18202 Standard
Check concrete floor flatness and levelness against regional standards. With BuildIT Construction you can verify and document that any concrete structure you build matches local requirements anywhere in the world. Analyze the freshly poured concrete and scrap areas while concrete is wet. This ultimately saves you time and labor, reduces waste and allows the following trades to start their work earlier.
Incorrect Part Placement Detection
Identify improper placement and missing features such as walls, columns, beams and pipes. Assign issues to the related trades earlier, before clashes on-site delay the following trade work.
4D Analysis
Visualize shifts and movements within structural performance over time. By uncovering these earlier, your team gains time to plan actions that prevent collapses and cost less than rework at later stages with higher risks of failure.
Compatibility with Standard Design Files
BuildIT Construction is compatible with Autodesk® AutoCAD® (dwg and dxf versions 2.5-2020), Revit (2015-2020), IFC (2×3, 4), sat, iges, Parasolid and Step.
Customized Reports
Generate easy-to-read, complete reports that highlight the most relevant information. With this, your stakeholders can better understand the situation and plan next actions more precisely.
Project Virtual Design Templates
Use templates for prefabricated parts and assemblies, as well as equipment placement for factory layout and planning. Use BuildIT Construction with Tracer Laser Projectors and BuildIT Projector Software to automate the virtual templating workflow.
