3D Scanning & Drone Services in Chile

We provide comprehensive 3D scanning and drone services throughout all 16 Chilean regions. Our primary service areas include Santiago Metropolitan Region, Valparaíso (including Viña del Mar), Biobío (Concepción), Atacama (Antofagasta, Calama mining region), Lakes District (Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas), and Magallanes (Punta Arenas, Torres del Paine). We maintain strategic partnerships with local teams across Chile to ensure rapid response and regional expertise.

Yes, all our drone pilots hold DGAC (Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil) certifications required for commercial drone operations in Chile. We maintain proper RPAS registration, airspace authorizations including operations near SCL airport and mining exclusion zones, and comprehensive liability insurance as required by Chilean regulations.

We deploy industry-leading equipment including Trimble X12 and NavVis VLX3 terrestrial scanners for interior and architectural documentation, Matterport Pro3 for immersive virtual tours, and DJI Matrice 400 RTK and Skydio X10 drones for aerial surveys. All systems achieve survey-grade accuracy with ±2-4mm precision for laser scanning and centimeter-level accuracy for drone photogrammetry.

Yes, we provide specialized services to Chile's copper mining industry—the world's largest. We document facilities for Codelco, BHP, and international operators, including open pit surveys, processing plant as-builts, tailings dam inspections, and port facilities. Our teams hold required safety certifications and understand the security protocols for mining operations.

We offer 24-hour response time for consultation and quotes across Chile. For urgent projects, we can mobilize teams within 48-72 hours to Santiago and major cities. Remote mining or Patagonia locations may require additional planning time. Standard project deliverables are completed within 24-72 hours depending on scope.

Absolutely. Chile's seismic activity makes as-built documentation critical for retrofit planning. We provide detailed 3D scans and BIM models that capture existing structural conditions, enabling engineers to design seismic upgrades efficiently. Our documentation meets Chilean engineering standards and supports NCh433 seismic design requirements.

Yes, we specialize in heritage documentation for Valparaíso's UNESCO World Heritage historic quarter. Our non-invasive scanning methods are ideal for documenting historic ascensores (funiculars), cerro architecture, and colonial-era buildings. We deliver documentation that supports preservation planning and meets international conservation standards.

We serve diverse industries across Chile including mining and copper (Codelco, BHP), construction, architecture, heritage preservation (UNESCO compliance), wine and agriculture, aquaculture and salmon, renewable energy (solar, wind), and ports and logistics. Each sector benefits from our survey-grade accuracy and understanding of Chilean market requirements.

Pricing varies based on project scope, location, and deliverables. Standard 3D scanning projects in Chile start around $1,500-3,000 USD, while comprehensive drone photogrammetry and LiDAR surveying range from $2,500-15,000+ for mining sites or complex terrain. We provide free consultations and detailed quotes for all Chilean projects.

THE FUTURE 3D combines international expertise with deep understanding of Chilean regulatory requirements, seismic considerations, and market conditions. We maintain DGAC certifications, understand NCh engineering standards, and deliver documentation that meets professional expectations. Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee ensures every Chilean client receives professional service with survey-grade accuracy and reliable turnaround times.
