Why 3D Scanning Matters Before Mining Equipment, Conveyor and Chute Upgrades

Reducing fabrication uncertainty, improving equipment fit-up and supporting mining shutdown planning. The Challenge of Modifying Existing Mining Equipment Mining processing plants rarely remain exactly as they were originally designed. Over time, conveyors are modified, transfer chutes are replaced, platforms are installed and mechanical equipment is upgraded to meet changing production requirements. Unfortunately, the original engineering drawings may not reflect these modifications. For maintenance superintendents, project engineers and shutdown planners, this creates an important question: How can new equipment be designed and fabricated to fit an existing mining plant when the installed geometry is uncertain? One practical solution is to use 3D LiDAR scanning before engineering design begins. Hamilton By Design combines 3D scanning, point cloud processing, mechanical engineering and CAD modelling to support mining equipment modifications across Australia. Read the full engineering ...

Why 3D Scanning Your White Van Before a Fit-Out Just Makes Sense

  Why 3D Scanning Your White Van Before a Fit-Out Just Makes Sense If you’re a tradie, your white van isn’t just transport — it’s your toolbox, workshop, storage system, and office all rolled into one. So when you’re spending real money on a van fit-out, it makes sense to ask one simple question: Why guess when you can design it properly first? That’s where 3D scanning your white van before a fit-out comes in. Your Van Works as Hard as You Do Every trade uses their van differently. A plumber’s van doesn’t work like an electrician’s. A fitter’s setup is different to a carpenter’s. A camper van has completely different needs again. Yet many fit-outs are still based on: standard layouts rough measurements “this usually fits” assumptions That often leads to wasted space and compromises you live with every day. What 3D Scanning Changes A 3D scan captures the exact internal shape of your van — every wall, wheel arch, roof curve, and floor detail. That scan becomes a digital model that...
