The use of laser scanning and point cloud data helps lower the time, effort, and cost of process plant retrofit engineering and construction projects. It extends the use of 3D CAD to more projects. Point cloud integration also helps in the planning of existing plant remodelling by coupling existing plant configuration provided by point cloud scans with 3D model displays.
