Faro now makes capturing and visualising 2D floor plans easy for architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals through its lightweight, handheld mapper – the Faro ScanPlan. The device is controlled using a smartphone, which is placed in a cradle located on top of the device.

Multivista, a leader in construction documentation services, has launched 3D Images as part of its suite of visual documentation services for the construction industry. The service is powered by the Leica BLK3D, a handheld 3D imager that allows real-time, professional grade, in-picture 3D measurement.
