SOLIDWORKS Sydney – Structural & Mechanical Detailing Powered by FARO Scanning In today’s mining and manufacturing environments, the biggest challenge is not modelling—it’s getting accurate, usable data to model from . Traditionally, structural and mechanical detailing relied on: Old drawings Site measurements Assumptions Rework That approach is slow, risky, and often wrong. Today, the process has changed. With FARO laser scanning, the design process starts with reality—not assumptions.   The Problem with Traditional Detailing Structural and mechanical detailing has always been the bridge between: Engineering intent Fabrication Construction Accurate detailing is critical because it converts design into buildable outcomes . But when the input data is wrong: Steel doesn’t fit Equipment clashes Shutdowns blow out Costs increase This is where most projects fail—not in design, but in data quality . FARO Scanning Changes the Starting Point F...

Hamilton By Design  |  SolidWorks Structural & Mechanical Detailing in Sydney From 3D LiDAR Scanning to SolidWorks Engineering Models Engineer-Led Detailing — Not Just Drafting At Hamilton By Design, structural and mechanical detailing is no longer just about producing drawings — it’s about capturing reality, understanding it, and engineering it correctly. Traditional detailing relies on site measurements, outdated drawings, or assumptions. Our approach replaces that with engineering-grade 3D LiDAR scanning using FARO technology, ensuring every design starts from verified, real-world data. What Has Changed in Structural & Mechanical Detailing Detailing used to begin with: Tape measures Legacy drawings Site interpretation Today, it begins with 3D laser scanning. 3D scanning captures millions of measurement points to create a point cloud — a digital replica of the real-world environment that can be used to build accurate models and drawings. FARO 3D Laser Scannin...
