Hunter Valley Laser Scanning Built for SolidWorks & Autodesk Inventor

 

Hunter Valley Laser Scanning Built for SolidWorks & Autodesk Inventor

Laser scanning is only valuable if the data can actually be used for engineering and design.

Across the Hunter Valley, many mining, power generation, and industrial projects rely on SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor for mechanical design, fabrication, and modification work. In these environments, a scan that cannot be used directly in CAD software introduces risk, delays, and unnecessary cost.

That’s why Hamilton By Design provides engineering-grade laser scanning in the Hunter Valley, specifically delivered so scan data can be used directly in SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor.

Why CAD-Ready Laser Scanning Matters

Many laser scanning services focus on data capture only. While the point cloud may look impressive, it often falls short when it comes time to design:

  • Poor registration or alignment

  • Insufficient accuracy for mechanical tolerances

  • Data that cannot be reliably modelled in CAD

  • Extra time spent cleaning or reworking scans

Why spend money on a scan that can’t be used for engineering?

Hamilton By Design plans and executes laser scanning as an engineering input, not just a visual deliverable.

Engineering-Grade Scanning for Real Outcomes

Hamilton By Design delivers Hunter Valley laser scanning that supports:

  • Direct use in SolidWorks

  • Accurate referencing in Autodesk Inventor

  • Fabrication-ready modelling

  • Mechanical and structural modification work

Our scanning workflows are designed so captured data integrates seamlessly into CAD environments, reducing rework and accelerating project delivery.


Typical Hunter Valley Applications

Laser scanning that is usable in SolidWorks and Inventor is critical for:

  • Mining equipment upgrades and modifications

  • Draglines, conveyors, and transfer stations

  • CHPP and materials handling infrastructure

  • Power generation and utility assets

  • Brownfield industrial upgrades and shutdown work

In these environments, accuracy and usability matter far more than visual appearance.


Engineer-Led Laser Scanning

At Hamilton By Design, laser scanning is delivered by engineers who understand how the data will be used.

This ensures:

  • Scan resolution matches design intent

  • Critical interfaces are captured correctly

  • CAD modelling can begin immediately

  • Accountability is maintained from scan through to design

The result is scan data that engineers can trust.


Deliverables That Add Real Value

Depending on project requirements, Hamilton By Design can provide:

  • Registered, engineering-grade point clouds

  • CAD-ready reference data

  • Section views and alignment references

  • Models and drawings derived directly from scan data

All deliverables are scoped to support engineering, fabrication, and construction, not just visualisation.


Hunter Valley Laser Scanning That Can Actually Be Used

Laser scanning should remove uncertainty, not create more work.

By delivering CAD-ready laser scanning for SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor, Hamilton By Design supports Hunter Valley projects with data that can be used immediately for design, modification, and installation.

Reality Capture Sydney for Real Estate & Property Assets

 

Reality Capture Sydney for Real Estate & Property Assets

Accurate information is critical when making real estate and property decisions. In high-value markets like Sydney, relying on outdated drawings, incomplete plans, or assumptions can introduce unnecessary risk during leasing, refurbishment, or asset upgrades.

Reality capture provides property owners, developers, and asset managers with a reliable digital record of what exists today — supporting confident decision-making across the full property lifecycle.

What Is Reality Capture for Property?

Reality capture is the process of digitally recording buildings and spaces using advanced laser scanning and spatial data capture technology. The result is a dimensionally accurate digital representation of a property that can be reused by consultants, designers, and contractors without repeated site visits.

For real estate and property assets, reality capture is commonly used for:

  • Accurate existing-condition records

  • Leasing and tenancy planning

  • Commercial and residential refurbishments

  • Asset documentation and compliance support

  • Due diligence during acquisition or divestment

Unlike basic photography or traditional floor plans, reality capture provides measurable and verifiable data that reduces uncertainty and protects asset value.

What Is 3D Scanning?

3D scanning uses advanced LiDAR and laser scanning technology to capture precise measurements of physical spaces and objects. The result is a dense point cloud—a digital representation of real-world geometry that can be used for:

✔ Accurate as-built documentation
✔ Detailed BIM (Building Information Modeling)
✔ Retrofit design and clash detection
✔ Fabrication and manufacturing workflows
✔ Heritage preservation and architectural records

This technology eliminates guesswork, reduces re-work, and ensures stakeholders have a trusted source of truth for design, engineering, and construction.
