About ScanStep
ScanStep is an interactive training simulator built to prepare 3D laser scanning technicians for optimal scanner station placement, both indoors and outdoors.
What ScanStep does
The app reproduces the real constraints of a survey: scanner range, scan height, forbidden zones, obstacles, furniture, and the need to link stations together into one coherent network. In every exercise the technician places stations inside a 3D environment — an apartment, an open-plan office, a parking area, a technical room or a drop ceiling — then instantly sees the resulting coverage, the remaining gaps, the overlap between stations and the quality of the measured points. A solver then compares the proposed solution with an optimal reference, and a debrief explains concretely what could be improved on site.
Who ScanStep is for
ScanStep is made for 3D scanning operators, surveyors, BIM modellers and technical teams who capture as-built buildings. It is also aimed at schools, training centres and in-house trainers, who can create their own levels from floor plans or custom configurations and share those exercises with their teams.
Who builds ScanStep
ScanStep is developed by K-Tech 3D, a specialist in 3D laser scanning, BIM modelling and technical training for construction and industrial professionals. The application is bilingual (French and English) and runs in any modern browser with no software installation.
