Australian Alliances for 3D Reality Capture, Scanning and Modelling Solutions

South-Australian company Redstack, a provider of service and technology to the engineering and architectural community, has formed alliances with local partners Maptek and Avitus UAV Systems to deliver end-to-end reality capture, 3D scanning and 3D modelling solutions. These new partnerships complement Redstack’s relationships with Autodesk, Apple and Makerbot, enabling Redstack to deliver total solutions for design, engineering and BIM professionals.

Maptek is a leading provider of 3D scanning hardware. With more than 30 years of commitment to research and development, they offer an extensive range of high-quality 3D scanning technologies. This partnership is set to extend the reach of Maptek’s industry-leading 3D scanning technologies beyond mining and into the building and construction industry. James Moncrieff, technical services and distributor coordinator at Maptek, stated that through the partnership with Redstack the company is seeing exciting applications of its technologies in the architecture and construction industries. 3D scanning is providing significant safety improvements and efficiency for architects and engineers working on existing sites.

Avitus UAV Systems offers customised aerial systems for professional aerial photography and videography from South Australia. This partnership provides Redstack clients the chance to complement their existing design systems with professional aerial products and services. Simon Butterworth, Avitus managing director, commented that with the broad range of UAV technologies on the market, it is important for customers to obtain the right technology to meet their needs. There are complex regulations and licensing requirements for utilising aerial technologies, and partnering with someone like Redstack will help clients to comply with all regulatory requirements when selecting technology and hence avoid making costly mistakes.
