3D modeling
You probably already know that we deal with a wide range of 3D scanning, 3D printing and modeling. We are also familiar with 3D building modeling! Many years of work experience in the design industry has allowed us to gain a lot of practical and theoretical knowledge. With such extensive experience we are able to provide 3D scanning and building inventory services at the highest professional level. We have advanced, specialized equipment and software, so that modeling and design of buildings in 3D has no secrets from us. We offer a wide range of 3D services, including scanning and inventory of pipes in buildings and halls.
Modeling based on documentation
We perform CAD modeling of objects obtained by reverse engineering or design from provided documentation.
Among other things, we offer:
- modeling and exporting to any format (IGS, ACIS, STEP, STP, Parasolid, ProE, Catia, VRLM, STL, OBJ, PLY etc.),
- modeling straight from flat (2D) documentation, sketches, photos, actual model details or even descriptions,
- modeling based on STL files or point clouds obtained from 3D scanning,
- making virtual or real, fully functional prototypes of devices and various types of mechanisms,
- modeling using professional software SolidWorks, Siemens NX, Catia.
Modeling from 3D scans – BIM modeling
BIM models created from a point cloud
Building Information Modelling enables continuous and immediate access to information about the project, its costs and schedules. This simplifies the design process by allowing different variants and schemes to be tested in the virtual world for optimum selection of solutions. BIM means modeling building information, so defining elements like walls, floors, windows and doors, but also electrical wiring and plumbing. The resulting CAD model is their image. Based on the defined position or direction of the elements it is very easy to generate 2D plans, sections and elevation drawings. We create BIM models in the most commonly used environments Revit and Archicad, as data exchange between the two formats is usually problematic.
3D modeling based on 3D scans – when is choosing BIM technology a good option?
Among other things, it is worth opting for BIM technology when it is necessary to renovate or modernize old buildings. Thanks to the collection of comprehensive information about the selected objects with the help of the technology, it is possible to create a suitable design very accurately. In this case, what matters most is the accurate use of data. It is also worth mentioning that modeling on the basis of a 3D scan saves time in the context of significant design work.
2D flat CAD documentation
We undertake orders related to the generation of 2D flat documentation based on 3D scans.
Our company offers:
- 3D scanning of buildings and generation of 2D flat documentation on their basis (with optional 3D modeling),
- generation of any 2D views, elevations, layouts and sections from 3D scans,
- export the generated 2D flat documentation to any format (PDF, DWG, DWF, DXF, Catdrawing, PRT, SLDDRW).
CAD documentation based on a 3D scan – innovative solutions at affordable price criteria
Reproduction of CAD documentation in the past was only possible from paper documentation and notes. Nowadays, a time-saving 3D scan distinguished by a high level of efficiency is a sufficient basis.

Reverse engineering
As a company with years of experience in the industry, we offer comprehensive reverse engineering services. We carry out projects from A to Z, including:
- 3D scanning,
- 3D modeling, visualization,
- VR applications,
- technical documentation generation,
- measurements, and production of prototypes and finished parts using 3D printing.
Customer satisfaction is most important to us, so we select optimal solutions for each case individually.
3D modeling – what is the reverse engineering workflow like?
The reverse engineering workflow is a high-tech process. First, you need to prepare the object for scanning (by coating it with a matting substance). The next step is to scan the object in 3D, refine the mesh, and then import it into specialized CAD software. Specialists also take care of creating a solid model. Despite the fact that everything looks complicated (in fact – it is), our professionals have no problems with 3D modeling, taking on any order, even the most demanding.
We guarantee punctuality, professional advice and expert customer service. We remain available by email or telephone. We encourage you to use the services of B3D.

3D modeling usage
Modeling of 3D plant
We develop plant models using programs such as Aveva PDMS and AutoCAD Plant. These are suitable for the preparation of most types of industrial installations. What is PLANT? It is a 3D model that is essentially a database that contains information to design new chemical plants. It is not only a representation of the three-dimensional space of the object, but also data allowing to determine how the designed structure will be assembled and what will be necessary for it. Models in this type of software allow you to have full control of the work from the earliest stages of design to making changes or improvements to an existing plant.
When is it a good idea to model in PDMS or AutoCAD Plant?
These are ideal when you need to upgrade the plant in any facility or create PID (piping and instrumentation diagram) and ISO (machine engineering drawing) drawings, although as-built inventories are more complicated than new plant models. You can have a PDMS model created if you have enough information about the facility from which to create a database. The more information, the more detailed the project, and in the case of PDMS the details are extremely important. Of course, the degree of detail in the model is adapted to the individual needs of the customer.
It is worth bearing in mind that preparing a very detailed design is time-consuming and, consequently, expensive. Before starting to create the as-built project we set all the necessary issues with the customer. Each model is different and requires a different amount of time and work. Therefore, the prices of models vary and are adjusted individually to each of our clients. We encourage you to take advantage of our high quality services!
