FARO As-Built Modeler
The fastest and most direct path from reality data to any design system.
Overview
FARO As-Built Modeler is a software solution designed to process 3D laser scan data (point clouds) into usable CAD and BIM models. It provides tools for viewing, managing, and extracting geometry like pipes, steel structures, walls, and terrain from point clouds. This allows for the creation of highly accurate as-built documentation and models for renovation, retrofitting, and verification purposes. It is a data processing tool rather than a document management platform.
✨ Key Features
- Point Cloud Viewing and Processing
- Automated Feature Extraction (Pipes, Steel)
- Creation of 2D drawings and 3D models from scan data
