New post on our blog! On the renovation of a historic manufacturing facility, Andy J. Egan Co. enlisted our to help preserve a 100-year-old chimney during an HVAC upgrade. Learn how we creatively combined 3D laser scanning and sheet metal fabrication to avoid construction of an entirely new chimney.

New case study on how we successfully created an as-built model for one of Michigan's Sugar's manufacturing facilities, which dated back more than 💯 years!

For this project, precise measurements were vital to the replacement of a tank that spanned three stories. Read how we documented the plant in just one day in this joint case study with Leica Geosystems.

With the capacity to slice 22,000 tons of beets a day and produce over one billion pounds of sugar annually, the Michigan Sugar Co. is the third largest sugar producer in the United States. Its factories, which were built between 1889 and 1902, dot the Michigan landscape, providing employment to m

New on our blog: 4 Technology "Hacks" for Industrial Fabrication. Read our hacks and learn how they can be applied to your next construction project.

Earlier this month, 3D Imaging Services Project Director, Michael James, was invited by Hexagon Live to present on how technology can be applied to industrial fabrication. We’re recapping four of the “hacks” he shared that can be applied to your next project. 1. Coordinate in the Point-Cloud R

The combination of laser scanning and fabrication recently reduced a multi-week installation to just four days. Read how we did it -- without a single field error -- in our latest blog post:

In order to commence operations, one Southeast Michigan landfill owner needed to finish construction of the site’s treatment facility. The deadline for bringing the facility online was rapidly approaching, but the tank pictured here still needed mechanical piping run to the nearby pump house.

The newest post on our blog details how we tackled another challenging project -- laser scanning for the refurbishment of a hydroelectric dam.

How many people wonder about the inside of a hydroelectric dam? Admittedly, not many. However, like most useful machines, the inside of a hydroelectric dam will eventually wear out what with all that water rushing through it. So some specialists and, of course, the dam owners are very interested in

Our newest case study discusses how 3D laser scanning can be used to reduce downtime when retrofitting a production line.

On any production line, a tension exists between the financial impacts of lengthy downtime and the need for ongoing maintenance and plant improvements. In the case of one food ingredients producer, the installation of a new sterilizer system highlighted this tension. Production would be interrupted

New post on our Blog! See how we tackled a challenging project for Sight & Sound Theatres that other laser scanning companies said couldn't be done.

Applying sophisticated technology to unusual conditions separates the average provider from the superior. Last year, 3D Imaging Services spoke to Sight & Sound Theatres about scanning and modeling the interior of their 2,000+ seat theater in Pennsylvania. (www.sight-sound.com) One of the largest
