Our Services and Offerings
At S3D, our team of graphic designers brings digital models to life using the best of 3D infographics to reveal all their richness and details.
Virtual Tour Online & Offline The isometric piping plan is a three-dimensional, dimensioned, non-proportional representation that offers a clear and detailed view of the network. It serves as an essential support for workshop prefabrication and on-site assembly of piping installations.
Isometric Piping Plan The level of detail refers to the amount of data contained in the model. For example: specific shapes or the location of steel pipes. LOD 100 Concept LOD 200 Schematic Design LOD 300 Detailed Design LOD 350 Construction Documentation LOD 400 Fabrication and Assembly LOD 500 As-Built
BIM Modeling LOD 100 to 500 We provide reliable input data for the study and design phases of rehabilitation projects and integrate modifications at each phase.
Real Estate Promotion and Rehabilitation 2D Plans, Elevations, and Sections Developed from the 3D survey of your structures, our plans offer reliable and precise working documents, created from the 3D point cloud of your buildings.
3D digitization of heritage and 3D surveying of historical monuments are imperatives for protecting these fragile architectures.
3D Heritage Building Digitization
Calculation Notes: Concrete, Metal, Wood, Aluminum Our engineers produce calculation notes compliant with standards for:
- Reinforced concrete: buildings, retaining walls, bridges, culverts, reservoirs, dams...
- Metallic structures: frameworks, platforms, stairs, mechanically welded assemblies, portals...
- Wood structures: traditional frameworks, beams, complex assemblies...
- Aluminum structures: lightweight structures, frames, technical supports.
Reverse Engineering Reverse engineering allows the creation of CAD files from a 3D scan of an existing product. It is used when original plans are nonexistent or lost, or to digitize a manually fabricated part for reproduction or industrialization.
Structural Calculation Note We make our engineering expertise available to provide you with precise structural calculation notes, compliant with current standards. Whether you are an architect, project manager, or developer, our services guarantee a solid technical foundation for successfully completing your projects.
Multispectral Imaging We offer innovative multispectral imaging solutions to address the challenges of industry and building. Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, we help you visualize and analyze phenomena invisible to the naked eye, for optimal management of your projects and infrastructures.
S3D Engineering supports your construction, renovation, and heritage management projects through:
- BIM modeling (LOD 100 to 500) for complete integration into the life cycle of structures.
- Rehabilitation: extraction of precise plans from 3D scans, updating the BIM model according to work phases.
- Real estate promotion: graphic and technical support for design and commercialization.
We ensure reliable, interoperable deliverables adapted to BIM standards.
Reverse engineering consists of generating exploitable CAD files from 3D scans of objects or parts. This approach is crucial for:
- Reproducing a part without original plans,
- Preparing industrial production from a manual prototype,
- Documenting unique or obsolete parts.
Our expertise also includes conversion to digital models, with export to all standard CAD software.
Multispectral Imaging Technical Inspections Thanks to multispectral sensors, we reveal the invisible:
- Detection of thermal losses,
- Structural humidity,
- Detection of defects invisible to the naked eye.
These analyses, cross-referenced with 3D modeling, allow anticipation of risks, documentation of diagnostics, and strengthening of decision-making.
Our values:
- Precision & rigor
- Reactivity & transparency
- Mastery of technical tools
- Collaborative spirit with on-site stakeholders
Isometric Piping & Virtual Tour We create isometric piping plans from 3D surveys, useful for:
- Workshop prefabrication,
- On-site assembly,
