Architecture 3D Scanning & Building Documentation for Heritage & Design

From heritage structures that need accurate digital documentation to architecture programs building scan-based design skills, we deliver Geomagic workflow consulting for architecture teams across Canada.

The Architecture Challenge
Complex Geometry. Heritage Structures. No Digital Record.

Architecture and heritage documentation teams deal with the most geometrically complex scan environments, organic surfaces, irregular structures, and built forms that were never digitally designed. Getting usable output from that data requires the right workflow.

Heritage Structures With No CAD

Historic buildings, facades, and cultural heritage sites with no surviving drawings or digital record. 3D scanning and Geomagic Wrap give you an accurate mesh model of the as-built structure, a permanent digital archive.

Complex Geometry Needs Mesh Processing

Organic and irregular architectural geometry that point cloud data alone cannot represent cleanly. Geomagic Wrap turns raw scan data into clean, workable mesh models your team can integrate into design and BIM workflows.

Academic Programs Need Real Workflow Training

Architecture departments building 3D scanning capability need hands-on training that goes beyond software basics, real workflow context that students and faculty can apply to actual projects from day one.

What We Deliver
Geomagic Workflows for Architecture & Heritage

We build scan data workflows that turn complex architectural geometry into usable digital assets, and train your team to run them.

Heritage Documentation Scanning

We design Geomagic Wrap workflows for heritage documentation projects, converting 3D scan data from historic structures into clean mesh models, accurate as-built records, and BIM-ready geometry.

What Architecture Teams Tell Us
Our Approach
How We Work With Architecture Teams
1

Assess Your Workflow

We start with a 30-minute discovery call, no obligation. We want to understand your scanner, your Geomagic setup, your team's skill level, and where the process breaks down.

2

Design the Solution

We design the Geomagic workflow that fits your environment, your software version, your hardware, your team, and your specific output requirements.

3

Build Capability In-House

We implement, train, and fully document the process. When the engagement ends, your team runs it independently, not calling us every time a new project comes in.
