Polycam

Polycam enables the capture of high-quality, detailed 3D models using mobile devices, making it a practical tool for enhancing various aspects of architecture and construction management. Its ability to integrate with other software and support multiple file formats further extends its utility in these fields.

Architecture

Use Case	Description
Design Visualization	Create detailed 3D models of existing sites or spaces to visualize how new designs will integrate with current environments. This aids in understanding spatial relationships and design impacts.
Concept Development	Use 3D scans to develop and iterate on design concepts by comparing real-world data with design plans, allowing for more informed adjustments and refinements.
Client Presentations	Provide clients with immersive, accurate representations of proposed designs through detailed 3D models, helping to communicate design intent and secure approvals.
Renovation Planning	Capture current conditions of existing structures to plan renovations or extensions more accurately. Scans help in understanding existing constraints and potential challenges.
Historical Preservation	Document and preserve detailed 3D scans of historical buildings or landmarks for future reference, restoration, or conservation projects.

Construction Management

Use Case	Description
Site Analysis and Measurement	Capture precise 3D scans of construction sites to analyze dimensions and spatial relationships. Helps ensure that designs align with actual site conditions and facilitates accurate planning.
Progress Monitoring	Use regular 3D scans to track construction progress and compare with design models. This allows for identifying deviations from plans and addressing issues promptly.
As-Built Documentation	Create accurate as-built models that reflect the completed construction work. These models serve as valuable records for future maintenance, renovations, or compliance checks.
Collaboration and Communication	Share detailed 3D scans with project teams, clients, and stakeholders to enhance collaboration. Scans provide a common reference point for discussions and decision-making.
Quality Control	Inspect the quality of construction work by comparing scanned data with design specifications. Identifies discrepancies and ensures that the construction meets the required standards.
