My Digital Buildings captures and creates spatial data* from your buildings, all throughout France, deploying a fast capture protocol without compromising accuracy.
* 2D plans, point clouds, 3D/BIM models, virtual tours
Multi-technological survey protocols combining static scanners and mobile scanners, total station and drone.
Accelerate your digitization projects effectively, thanks to the responsiveness and coverage of our 3D scanning network.
Raw 3D data captured by our scanners, cleaned and assembled.
All types of plans (floor plans, facade plans, sections plans, etc.) delivered in .DWG format.
Modeled based on the point cloud captured and exported in your prefered formats (.RVT; .IFC; .STP, etc.).
Accessible from our collaborative web platform and based on 3D data and images captured by our scanners
You tell us your objectives, the type and the number of buildings concerned.
We operate on site, equipped with our 3D scanners and drones to conduct a rapid and complete survey of your buildings (3D data, images and information collected on site).
We post-process and use the data collected on site to produce your deliverables.
We draw up specifications to meet your needs. On this basis, we define the deliverables and 3D scanning solutions best suited to your projects.
You receive your deliverables (2D plans; 3D/BIM model; virtual tour; point cloud) on our platform to download them and start collaborating.
Manufacturers, construction companies, engineering firms and asset managers use our digitalization solutions for their projects.
“By deploying a network of 3D operators throughout France, we want to offer a standardized service everywhere in France. Whether your first project is located in the Paris region and the next one in Grenoble, count on a single well-known and trusted partner.”
While the company wanted to deploy its BIM strategy on a large scale, Basic-Fit chose MDB to be its digitization partner in France to accelerate and scale up the survey of its assets.
Discover our scan to BIM project carried out in a finishing workshop of the leading player in the railway industry Alstom Transport.
As part of a renewal of the DSP, we produced various formats of “digital twins” of the site (2D plans; 3D model; virtual visit), to enhance the consultation process and allow respondents to project themselves precisely into their UVE's project
3D laser scanners are measuring devices based on LiDAR technology. They include one or more LiDAR sensors that emit a light beam that scans the environment horizontally and vertically to capture it in 3D.
They make it possible to generate a point cloud (raw 3D data), but also image and thermal data depending on the models.
A traditional and widely used scanning solution, static scanners are tripod-mounted measuring devices.
These solutions perfectly complement our mobile scanning solutions when it comes to identifying areas that are congested, difficult to access, or requiring increased precision. They also allow to capture high-density point clouds over long distance, often used to scan bridges.
The best known static scanner manufacturers are Faro and Leica.
Mobile laser scanners are measuring devices that allow you to scan an environment while moving. Thus, they offer a very large survey volume, which can reach up to 12,000 m² per day.
The survey is therefore faster, without neglecting precision, which is why we put these scanning solutions at the center of our scanning protocol.
The choice of scanning solutions will be directly linked to the final use of the data (2D plans, BIM/CAD models, etc.), to your needs and to the specificities of your buildings.
Each project must be individually assessed, to discover the advantages of possible digitization solutions, we invite you to read our article on this subject.
The point cloud of a building is a real 3D representation of the building. Technically, it is generated through LiDAR sensors, which the lasergrammetry solutions are equipped with.
These sensors emit a laser beam that scans the environment until obstacles (objects, walls, structures etc.) are detected. The distance to each obstacle is then analyzed, in order to position a point in space. Repeating this process makes it possible to create a point cloud.
In our projects, we deliver the file containing the point cloud in a format adapted to your uses (.rcp, .e57, .xyz).
To find out more, we invite you to discover our article explaining How to use a point cloud.
Scan to BIM corresponds to a process of modeling the existing environment for which the building's point cloud is used as a 3D footprint.
This methodology makes it possible to rely on an imprint of reality with centimetric precision for CAD/BIM modeling.
To find out more, we detail the different steps of a Scan-to-BIM method in this item.
To succeed in a 3D scanning project and produce quality deliverables, it is necessary to apply a certain methodology throughout the project and in particular 5 essential steps:
To find out more, we detail each of these steps in this item.
