Often, there is not enough space to set up a tripod or enough room to scan the equipment from different locations.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems are often intertwined, making it challenging to get a comprehensive picture using a tripod scanner.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, pipes and ducts can obstruct other systems creating shadows in the point cloud resulting in incomplete data.<\/p>\n<p>For the construction industry, accurate dimensions and locations are needed when coordinating with scope done earlier in the project, such as underground stub-ups, water utility tie-ins or duct riser penetrations, to ease the handoff between contractors.<\/p>\n<p>The new Freestyle 2 handheld scanner addresses these and other common challenges.
