Common Misunderstandings
About Laser Scanning
Despite its growing popularity, some professionals hesitate to use 3D scanning due to outdated perceptions. Here are a few common myths—and the truth behind them.
Benefits include:
- “It’s too expensive” – In most cases, the cost is far less than the time and money spent on manual rework.
- “It’s only for technical experts” – Deliverables are shared in easy-to-use formats with no special software needed.
- “My site is too small” – Even small properties benefit from accurate floor plans and visual documentation.
- “It takes too long” – Most scans can be completed in a single visit with fast turnaround times.
- “The equipment is disruptive” – Scanning is quiet, mobile, and doesn’t interfere with regular activity.
3D laser scanning is designed to make documentation easier—not harder. Once you experience the efficiency firsthand, it often becomes a standard part of your workflow.
