Mobile 3D Scanning Services

 

Mobile 3D Scanning Services – Bringing Engineering Accuracy to Regional Australia

For many projects in smaller towns, getting accurate site information can be harder than the design itself. Old drawings don’t match reality, upgrades have been added over decades, and bringing specialist survey teams from the city can be expensive and slow.

That’s where mobile 3D scanning services make a real difference.

Instead of relying on tape measures and sketches, a LiDAR scanner captures millions of precise points in a single visit—creating a true digital record of your facility. Hamilton By Design now offers this service across regional Australia, helping local manufacturers, mines, councils, and fabricators access the same engineering-grade data used on major city projects.

What Mobile 3D Scanning Actually Delivers

A typical onsite scan can capture:

  • Conveyor and materials handling equipment

  • Pipework and structural steel

  • Buildings and workshops

  • Vehicles and custom machinery

  • Tie-in points for upgrades or shutdowns

From that data you can receive registered point clouds, PDF layouts, AutoCAD models, or SOLIDWORKS files ready for fabrication. The goal isn’t just a pretty model—it’s information you can build from.

Ideal for Smaller Towns and Remote Sites

Regional projects often face unique challenges:

  • Limited access to specialist contractors

  • Short shutdown windows

  • Legacy plant with no reliable drawings

  • Travel costs blowing out budgets

A mobile scanning visit usually takes one day onsite, minimising disruption while capturing everything needed for design and compliance. Whether you’re in Bathurst, Broken Hill, Mount Isa, the Central Coast or any regional hub, the service comes to you.

Engineering-Led, Not Just Surveying

What sets Hamilton By Design apart is that the scanning is performed by people who actually design and fabricate equipment. The data is captured with real project outcomes in mind—clearances, tolerances, installation sequencing, and safe design.

That means fewer site re-visits, less rework, and far more confidence before you commit to fabrication.
