Common Misconceptions About 3D Laser Scanning

Although more professionals are adopting 3D scanning, several myths still prevent teams from using it effectively. Understanding the facts helps clarify its value and application.

Let’s clear up a few common misconceptions:

• “It’s only for large-scale projects” – Scanning is useful for small residential and interior jobs too
• “It’s too expensive” – Costs have dropped, and it often saves money by reducing rework
• “It’s difficult to use the data” – Deliverables are provided in common formats like DWG or RVT
• “It takes too long” – Scans can often be completed in a few hours
• “You still need traditional measurements” – In most cases, scanning replaces manual methods entirely

By correcting these misconceptions, more clients in Parkland are able to take advantage of the precision and speed 3D scanning offers.
