Nationwide 3D laser scanning, BIM modeling, and Scan-to-CAD services for building, construction, and manufacturing. From LOD 200 documentation to LOD 400 fabrication-ready models — we deliver precision at every stage.

We convert point cloud data into precise 3D solid models for manufacturing, industrial equipment, and mechanical assemblies. Whether you need models in SolidWorks, Inventor, or CATIA, we deliver geometry that's ready for analysis, fabrication, or retrofit planning.

Engineering-Ready 3D Models for Factories, Plants, and Production Environments

Industrial environments don’t fit neatly into BIM. Equipment layouts change with every production cycle. Piping systems get rerouted. Structural supports get modified. And the documentation — if it exists — usually reflects the original installation, not the current state of the facility.

TDC scans these environments and converts the captured data into 3D solid models your engineering teams can actually use. We document production lines, equipment footprints, piping systems, structural supports, and utility routing — then deliver models in the engineering platform your team works in.

Unlike BIM-focused providers who try to force industrial environments into Revit, we model in the platforms designed for industrial and manufacturing work: SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA, and Creo. This means your engineers receive models they can integrate directly into their existing workflows without translation or conversion.

We work with operating plants, coordinate around production schedules, and deliver models that support equipment upgrades, line reconfigurations, safety reviews, and long-term facility planning.

What You Receive

Piping & Process System Models

3D solid models of production equipment, machinery, and line layouts — modeled with the dimensional accuracy your engineering teams need for installation planning, equipment replacement, and facility upgrades.

Piping & Process System Models

Process piping, utility routing, and distribution systems modeled with accurate sizing, routing, and connection details. Documentation that reflects as-installed conditions for plants where the drawings no longer match reality.

Facility Layout Documentation

All models delivered in your team’s platform — SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA, or Creo. No format translation required. Your engineers open the files and start working immediately in the tools they already use.

Native Engineering Formats

All models delivered in your team’s platform — SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA, or Creo. No format translation required. Your engineers open the files and start working immediately in the tools they already use.

How We Work

01

Facility Assessment

We assess the environment, identify scan coverage requirements, and coordinate access around your production schedule. For operating plants, we plan around shifts, shutdowns, and restricted areas.

02

Field Scanning

Our teams capture the full spatial environment — production floors, overhead systems, mezzanines, utility corridors, and equipment in place. We scan around active equipment and document as-installed conditions

03

3D Solid Modeling

Scan data is converted into structured 3D solid models in your team’s preferred platform. Equipment, piping, structural elements, and utilities are modeled with dimensional accuracy suitable for engineering analysis and installation planning.

04

Delivery & Engineering Support

Finished models are delivered in native format with supporting documentation. We remain available for model updates as facility conditions change, and for follow-on work as new projects require updated documentation.

Who This Is For

Plant Engineers & Facility Managers

You manage facilities where equipment and systems have been modified repeatedly without updated documentation. Our models give you a verified digital record of what’s actually installed.

Manufacturing Engineers

You need accurate spatial data for line reconfigurations, equipment installations, and layout optimization. Our models document clearances, routing, and footprints so your planning starts from reality.

Process Engineers

You need piping, utility, and process system documentation for plants where the installed routing doesn’t match the original drawings. Our models capture the as-built state with engineering-grade accuracy.

Capital Project Teams

You’re planning major facility upgrades — new lines, building expansions, equipment replacements. Our scanned and modeled documentation reduces field surprises during construction.

EHS & Compliance Teams

You need spatial documentation for safety zone verification, egress planning, and regulatory compliance. Our models provide accurate facility geometry for code review and safety analysis.

Multi-Family & Assisted Living

LOD 200–500 BIM modeling and scan-validated as-builts, and scan-validated as-builts for large-scale multi-family and assisted living developments.
