    Enhancing Project Accuracy and Efficiency with 3D Scanning Technology

    1 LU/HSW

    November 13

    7pm – Webinar

    Join AIA NJ's Small Firm Exchange Committee for a webinar presented by Benjamin Horten, AIA and explore the essential steps of using 3D scanning technology to produce accurate point cloud files and as-built CAD drawings. Horten will showcase real-world examples of as-built drawings and virtual walkthroughs, highlighting how 3D scanning can create virtual twins for enhanced project visualization in both pre-design and post-construction phases. You will learn how this technology improves project management, design, documentation, and construction evaluation, streamlining workflows and ensuring better project outcomes.

    Learning Objective 1:
    Understand the Basics of 3D Scanning Technology and Point Cloud Generation: Participants will learn how to effectively use 3D scanning tools to generate point cloud data, which can be translated into precise as-built CAD drawings, ensuring higher accuracy in documenting existing structures for improved design decisions.

    Learning Objective 2:
    Analyze the Benefits of Virtual Twins and Walkthroughs in Pre-Design and Post-Construction Phases: Attendees will explore how virtual twins and walkthroughs enhance design visualization and client communication, helping identify potential safety risks and compliance issues during both design and construction phases.

    Learning Objective 3:
    Evaluate the Role of 3D Scanning in Project Documentation and Workflow Efficiency: This objective focuses on understanding how 3D scanning technology can improve project management, design programming, and documentation by providing more accurate and detailed records, leading to safer and more efficient construction processes.

    Learning Objective 4:
    Assess the Impact of 3D Scanning on Construction Evaluation and Safety: Participants will learn how integrating 3D scanning into construction evaluation helps ensure adherence to design specifications, identify deviations, and maintain safety standards, reducing the risk of errors that could compromise occupant welfare.
