Bluebeam’s Academic Program Connects Students with Real-World AEC Tools

1 week ago | geoweeknews.com | Matt Collins

When we talk about addressing the construction industry's labor shortage, particularly among digitally skilled professionals, the conversation often hones in on technology adoption in the field. However, there's another side to the conversation that's just as important, if not moreso: How to prepare students before they ever step onto a job site. It’s this area in which Bluebeam’s Academic Program is looking to make a tangible difference.
Trimble Applanix Solutions Help Tackle Mobile Mapping’s Toughest Challenges

1 week ago | geoweeknews.com | Matt Collins

Sponsored by Trimble ApplanixAlthough mobile mapping can no longer be qualified as a new technology, significant developments over the last decade have taken usage to a new level. Sensors are getting smaller, allowing for multiple lidar sensors to be placed within a single system to maximize data quality. Systems are also able to be used at higher speeds, with most road-vehicle-based systems now boasting the ability to collect high-quality data at highway speeds.
Reality Capture’s Journey into the Civil Engineering Mainstream

1 week ago | geoweeknews.com | Carla Lauter

Sponsored by AutodeskProjects undertaken by Civil Engineers - from bridges and tunnels to municipal infrastructure like wastewater treatment plants - are often massive and complex. Adding to this challenge, often the infrastructure they need to repair, rebuild or inspect predates any kind of digital documentation, making it challenging to get a whole view of the project.
The State of Vehicle-Based Mobile Mapping Systems

2 weeks ago | geoweeknews.com | Matt Collins

As GPS systems first began to emerge for public use in the early 1990s, mobile mapping rigs for surveying followed quickly behind in their nascent stages. There were, to be clear, systems in existence before this period, but the advent of accurate location data from GPS led to more widespread usage, and in many ways started us toward the path to incorporating lidar about a decade later, and to where we are today.

RealityScan 2.0 Includes New Support for Aerial Lidar, and More

2 weeks ago | geoweeknews.com | Matt Collins

RealityCapture is one of the most popular platforms for users to create 3D models from scans and images in photogrammetric workflows. Formerly part of Capturing Reality, the platform was acquired by Epic Games in 2021 and has since been integrated into the latter’s Unreal Engine. It’s used by a number of different industries, including historical preservationists, surveyors, VFX artists, and more, and is applied to everything from large sites to individual assets.
Why Digital Transformation Still Falls Short for Industrial Giants

2 weeks ago | geoweeknews.com | Matt Collins

As industrial sectors like manufacturing, AEC, and asset management pursue greater efficiency, the adoption of digital tools continues to rise. As companies of all sizes move further along in their digital transformation, they are finding more efficient, more scalable, and more sustainable workflows to help meet growing demand. However, as anyone within these sectors would know first-hand, it’s not as simple as deciding to digitize and then taking simple, well-defined steps for guaranteed success.
