Solution

Turn Reality into Engineering-Ready Information.

Create a reliable digital record of the physical asset and give engineering teams the information they need for design, maintenance, retrofit and verification.

From physical asset to usable engineering

See how each digital engineering discipline creates value.

The right output depends on the decision your team needs to make. Birdseye connects accurate capture with practical engineering deliverables—from an as-built model to a printed fit-check prototype.

01

Scan-to-BIM

Plan changes around what is actually on site.

Outdated plans create uncertainty and costly surprises. We capture the existing facility and build a dependable BIM model, helping design and project teams coordinate retrofit work, reduce clashes and limit rework.

02

Scan-to-CAD & as-built drawings

Give engineers a reliable starting point.

When drawings are missing or no longer match the asset, engineering slows down. Birdseye converts captured geometry into usable 2D drawings and 3D CAD models, reducing manual measurement and repeat site visits.

03

Reverse engineering

Recreate the information behind a legacy part.

Obsolete or undocumented components can hold up maintenance. We capture the real part and rebuild its geometry, giving your team a sound basis for redesign, repair planning or replacement sourcing.

04

Dimensional verification

Find fit and deviation issues before installation.

A small dimensional mismatch can become expensive on site. Actual-versus-design comparison helps teams verify fabrication, interfaces and assembly conditions early—protecting schedules and installation productivity.

05

Scan-to-3D printing

Move from physical part to practical prototype faster.

A digital model can become a printed prototype for fit, handling or design validation. This gives teams a faster, lower-risk way to test ideas before committing to final fabrication or procurement.

The Customer Challenge

Drawings are often missing, outdated or different from the asset in the field. Manual measurement takes time and may leave gaps. Engineering teams can lose time through repeat visits, design uncertainty, clashes, poor fit or avoidable rework.

When drawings and reality no longer match, every engineering decision carries more uncertainty.

How Birdseye Helps

Birdseye captures the physical asset using the appropriate 3D scanning, LiDAR, photogrammetry or measurement method. We then process the captured geometry and convert it into the required point cloud, drawing, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Building Information Modelling (BIM) or dimensional output.

Laser scanning and structured-light capture create accurate point-cloud data from an industrial pump installation
Birdseye selects the right capture method for the asset, access conditions and required engineering output.

07

How the Work Is Delivered

The required engineering output determines the capture plan. Birdseye agrees the accuracy, level of detail, coordinate system, file format and acceptance criteria before fieldwork, then controls the data from capture through engineering delivery.

Accuracy, level of detail and acceptance criteria are agreed first, then controlled from capture through delivery.
