Analysis of Effectiveness of Using 3d Scanners in Preparation of Architectural and Construction Documentation: Case Study of Historic Building
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article discusses the application of advanced technologies, such as 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry and 3D printing, in the documentation and preservation of historic façades and interiors. These methods are compared with traditional techniques, including manual measurements and casting, highlighting their clear advantages in terms of precision and time efficiency. Digital technologies enable the creation of highly accurate 3D models without interfering with the structure of the objects, thereby minimizing the risk of damage. These models can be used not only for documentation purposes but also for producing replicas of architectural details, which is crucial for cultural heritage preservation. The article also includes an analysis of time efficiency and measurement accuracy, demonstrating that 3D scanning significantly accelerates the inventory process (with a time savings of 70-80%) and provides greater measurement precision compared to traditional methods. These technologies are particularly valuable for heritage sites, where maintaining the integrity of the object and accurately reproducing intricate details are paramount.
