Adoption of 3D laser scanning as the best way to document and preserve historical assets is growing every year. This course will teach a brief history of laser scanning, the basics of how the equipment works at a number of different scales, and how laser scanning is being utilized today for archival and restoration purposes as well as where it’s going in the future. The instructor will also discuss integration with other emerging tech like drones, VR/AR, 3D printing, and CNC machine fabrication.
This webinar will be presented by Joe Nicoli, Manager of AEC Scanning Services, Direct Dimensions. With 20 years of 3D laser scanning experience, Joe has been on the cutting edge of 3D data collection since the beginning. Today Joe leads the AEC laser scanning team at Direct Dimensions. With his extensive background in historical preservation and 3D scanning, he often lectures to a wide variety of architectural, engineering, and preservation groups. In his current role as Manager of AEC Services, Joe has overseen increasingly larger building documentation projects culminating in the recent 1.9 million square foot Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC that required over 8,000 individual laser scan positions. He also leads building scanning projects in all stages of construction and occupation, from active convention centers to the demolished shell of the Philadelphia Inquirer Building for its ongoing renovation.
