Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Montana 3D scanning services.

What areas of Montana do you serve?

We provide 3D scanning services throughout Montana, from Billings and Miles City in the east to Missoula and Kalispell in the west. Our teams cover Helena, Great Falls, Bozeman, Butte, and all communities in between. We maintain a 1-hour response time across the state.

Can you scan active mining operations?

Yes, we specialize in scanning active mining sites throughout Montana. Our equipment is designed for harsh environments, and our technicians follow strict safety protocols. We can capture volumetric measurements, equipment positions, and geological features without disrupting operations.

What accuracy do you achieve?

Our Leica and FARO scanners consistently achieve ±2-4mm accuracy across all Montana projects. This precision meets requirements for mining surveys, construction documentation, and engineering applications regardless of temperature or terrain challenges.

How do you handle Montana's extreme weather?

Our equipment is rated for extreme temperatures and our technicians are experienced in Montana's variable conditions. We schedule projects to optimize weather windows and use equipment rated for sub-zero temperatures when necessary.

Do you provide drone scanning for large ranches?

Absolutely. Drone-based scanning is ideal for Montana's expansive ranches and agricultural operations. We can efficiently capture terrain, buildings, and infrastructure across thousands of acres with high accuracy and minimal disruption to livestock.

What's the turnaround time for deliverables?

Standard deliverables are ready within 5-7 business days. We offer expedited processing for urgent projects. Point clouds, 3D models, CAD drawings, and reports are delivered digitally with optional physical media for remote locations with limited internet.

Can you scan historic buildings and landmarks?

Yes, we've documented numerous historic structures throughout Montana, including mining-era buildings, territorial landmarks, and cultural heritage sites. Our non-contact scanning preserves these structures digitally without any risk to the original materials.

Do you work with Yellowstone-area resorts?

We serve resorts, lodges, and tourism facilities throughout the Bozeman, Big Sky, and greater Yellowstone region. Our scanning helps with renovations, expansions, virtual tours, and facility documentation while respecting the natural environment.

How do you handle remote locations without road access?

Our portable equipment can be transported by ATV, helicopter, or on foot to remote Montana locations. We've scanned sites in wilderness areas, mountain peaks, and backcountry locations. We coordinate logistics based on site accessibility and project requirements.

What file formats do you deliver?

We deliver in all standard formats including E57, RCP, LAS, DWG, RVT, and OBJ. Our team ensures compatibility with your existing software whether you use AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, or specialized mining software. Custom formats available upon request.
