Spatial data consultancy.

Consult. Capture. Leverage.

3DLS Pty Ltd is a spatial data consultancy helping clients consult, capture and leverage reality data for better project outcomes.

3DLS grew out of ACA’s approach to turning data into wisdom and now operates as a separate company, supporting clients in their own project workflows.

We partner with clients from bid stage through to project delivery, providing methodology development, 3D laser scanning, reality capture, point clouds, 360° documentation, web-based digital twins, scan to BIM modelling and workflow training.

We support architecture, engineering, construction, insurance and asset management across Australia.

Explore one of our digital twins.

Step inside an interactive digital twin of this historic bridge. Captured from land, air, and boat. It brings together 3D spatial data, 360° imagery, and a native Revit BIM (IFC) model to document a complex structure above and below the deck.

How to explore the digital twin:

  • Look around: Click and drag to look around, then select a navigation point to move through the site.

  • Change views: Use the 3D dropdown to switch between 360° panoramas and the point cloud.

  • Explore the BIM model: Select the Data layers icon (stacked layers) and switch on Models to display our IFC model, with every individual structural member modelled. View it overlaid on either the point cloud or the panoramas.

  • Go full screen: Select the full screen icon in the top-right corner for a larger view.

From point cloud to project documentation.

See how you can use captured spatial data to create drawings, models and practical resources for design, coordination and delivery.
