Industrial 3D Laser Scanning for Manufacturing Businesses in Boolaroo
Hamilton By Design provides professional 3D LiDAR scanning services in Boolaroo, NSW, helping manufacturing businesses, engineering workshops and industrial operators capture existing facilities and plan machinery installations, production upgrades and mechanical modifications.
Located within the Lake Macquarie industrial region, Boolaroo has a long history of industrial activity and continues to support manufacturing, fabrication, engineering and industrial services.
As factories introduce new machinery, modify production equipment and improve manufacturing layouts, accurate measurements of existing conditions become increasingly important.
Hamilton By Design combines 3D LiDAR scanning with mechanical engineering and CAD modelling to help businesses design industrial upgrades that fit.

Why Use 3D LiDAR Scanning for Factory Upgrades?
Industrial facilities frequently contain equipment, pipework, structural steelwork and machinery that has been modified over many years.
Original engineering drawings may be incomplete, inaccurate or no longer represent the current factory layout.
3D LiDAR scanning captures the existing industrial environment as a detailed point cloud, providing engineers and manufacturers with valuable information before design or fabrication begins.
This information can support:
New machinery installation and relocation
Factory layout modifications
Conveyor extensions and transfer chute upgrades
Production line improvements
Pipework and pump modifications
Structural steelwork interfaces
Industrial equipment replacement
Reverse engineering of existing machinery
Mechanical engineering and fabrication drawings
By capturing the existing factory before design begins, businesses can reduce measurement uncertainty and identify potential installation clashes.
New Machinery That Fits Existing Factories
One of the challenges facing manufacturing businesses is installing new equipment within existing buildings.
Structural columns, overhead pipework, conveyors, electrical services and surrounding machinery can restrict available space.
Hamilton By Design uses 3D LiDAR scanning to capture the existing environment and develop CAD models that can be combined with proposed equipment designs.
This allows machinery positions, maintenance access, installation clearances and potential clashes to be reviewed before equipment arrives on site.
New machines that fit. Conveyors that fit. Chutes that fit.

Conveyor Systems, Chutes and Materials Handling
Conveyors, transfer chutes, hoppers and materials-handling equipment often require modifications as manufacturing processes change.
However, designing replacement components around existing industrial equipment can be difficult when accurate drawings are unavailable.
3D LiDAR scanning allows existing conveyors, supporting steelwork, transfer points and surrounding machinery to be captured and incorporated into engineering models.
Hamilton By Design can then assist with mechanical design, equipment modifications, general arrangement drawings and fabrication documentation.
This approach is particularly useful for brownfield industrial facilities where new equipment must fit around existing structures.
Reverse Engineering and Mechanical Equipment Modifications
Manufacturing businesses often operate machinery that has been modified over time or for which original drawings are no longer available.
Hamilton By Design provides reverse engineering services using 3D scanning and CAD modelling to recreate existing equipment geometry.
Applications include machinery guards, fabricated components, equipment housings, mechanical assemblies and replacement parts.
Depending on component size and accuracy requirements, terrestrial LiDAR or higher-resolution metrology scanning can be used.
From Point Cloud Data to Mechanical Engineering Drawings
Hamilton By Design offers more than 3D laser scanning.
As a mechanical engineering business, we combine reality capture with engineering design, CAD modelling and fabrication documentation.
Our typical workflow includes:
3D LiDAR scanning – Capture existing machinery, structural steelwork, pipework and industrial plant layouts.
Point cloud processing – Register scan data and prepare digital information for engineering use.
3D CAD modelling – Develop existing-condition models and proposed equipment layouts.
Mechanical engineering – Design conveyors, chutes, pipework and industrial equipment modifications.
Engineering drawings – Prepare general arrangement drawings and fabrication documentation.
Typical deliverables include E57 and RCP point clouds, SolidWorks models, STEP files, Parasolid geometry, AutoCAD drawings and PDF engineering documentation.
