No. Furniture, people, or other objects do not affect either the scanning process or the quality of the captured data.
All people present in the room during the scan, including the person performing the scan, are automatically anonymized. This ensures compliance with applicable data protection regulations.
Costs depend on several factors, including whether you choose self-scanning or our measurement service, the number of models, the required level of detail, and the size of the building. Individual rooms are generally not offered separately. Please contact us for a customized quote.
The duration depends on the size and complexity of the building. A single room can be scanned in just 2 seconds. Capturing an entire building varies depending on the number, size, and layout of the rooms.
No problem. If the internet connection is lost during scanning, all data is stored locally and automatically synchronized once a connection is available again.
The LumoScanner is available exclusively as a rental solution. You can rent it either for a single project or as part of a subscription. Please contact us for details on available rental models.

Frequently asked questions about 3D-laser-scanning
3D laser scanning, also known as laser surveying, is a method for capturing the three-dimensional shape of buildings and interior spaces using laser technology. It enables contactless measurement and creates an accurate digital representation of a building. The LumoScanner is a specialized form of terrestrial laser scanning designed for indoor environments.
3D lasers emit millions of laser pulses. The time it takes for these light impulses to reflect off surfaces and return to the sensor (LiDAR) is measured. Based on time and angle, a three-dimensional point cloud is generated, where each point represents a specific position and distance. The result is a detailed, highly accurate, and complete digital representation of the space.
Compared to conventional measurement methods such as tape measures, folding rules, or laser distance meters, which only capture individual points and are therefore prone to errors, 3D laser scanning is significantly more precise, reliable, faster, and more efficient.
A point cloud is a collection of millions of data points within a three-dimensional coordinate system. Each point represents a measured position in space, forming an exact digital representation of a physical object or room.
A digital twin goes beyond pure geometry. It is a virtual replica that includes real-time data and behavior, enabling simulations and advanced analysis.
Point cloud = raw data foundation
Digital twin = dynamic model built on that data
Man kann grob zwischen 5 Methoden bei 3D-Laserscannern unterscheiden:
- Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS): The scanner is positioned at a fixed location, typically on a tripod, and repositioned as needed. It is a stationary system scanning outward from a single point. The LumoScanner belongs to this category.
- Handheld scanners: Portable scanners that can be moved freely through space to capture interior areas, complex geometries, and objects. The LumoScanner also fits into this category.
- Mobile laser scanners: Systems where the scanner is mounted on moving platforms such as vehicles, commonly used for capturing linear infrastructure like roads, tunnels, or railways.
- Airborne laser scanning: Lasers mounted on aircraft or helicopters to map large areas such as forests or infrastructure and collect topographic data.
- UAV laser scanning (drone surveying):
Laser scanners mounted on drones for fast and detailed capture of hard-to-access areas such as quarries or agricultural and forestry land. Lumoview also offers drone photogrammetry services. - Industrial scanners: Highly specialized, permanently installed scanners used for technical metrology and industrial plant planning.
