Urban surveying is evolving rapidly. With reality capture tools and advanced digital workflows, 3D data is no longer a “nice-to-have” — it’s becoming standard for GIS professionals, planners, and survey teams working in complex urban environments.

In the upcoming webinar, Greg Lawes of Point3D joins FARO’s David Bonney and Point3D Sales Manager Nathan West to show how the Orbis Premium SLAM scanner and TopoDOT data recognition workflows are transforming urban surveying. From speeding up data capture to generating CAD-ready deliverables, this session will show practical ways to make your workflows more efficient and your data more actionable.

Why this matters:

Urban projects are rarely simple. Tight timelines, safety concerns, and complex site conditions can make capturing accurate data a challenge. Mobile mapping systems like Orbis Premium can dramatically reduce field time, while TopoDOT ensures that your point clouds are not just large, but meaningful — helping teams make informed decisions faster.
