3D Scanning & Drone Services in San Marino

We provide comprehensive 3D scanning and drone services throughout all nine castelli (municipalities) of San Marino. Our coverage includes the UNESCO World Heritage capital Città di San Marino with the Three Towers of Guaita, Cesta, and Montale, the commercial hub of Borgo Maggiore, the industrial center of Serravalle, and the southern castelli of Fiorentino, Montegiardino, Chiesanuova, Faetano, and Acquaviva. From the summit of Mount Titano (739m) to the border areas near Rimini, we deliver survey-grade scanning across this entire 61 km² republic.

Pricing for San Marino projects reflects our international deployment and heritage specialization. Standard 3D scanning projects typically range from €2,000-5,000, while comprehensive UNESCO site documentation ranges from €5,000-20,000+ depending on scope. Heritage projects requiring detailed medieval tower surveys, fortification documentation, or museum digitization are quoted individually. We provide free consultations and detailed quotes for all San Marino projects.

Our response time for San Marino is 24 hours for quotes and consultations. Given San Marino's proximity to our Bologna operations and ease of access from Rimini, we can typically begin on-site work within 48-72 hours of project confirmation. Most deliverables are completed within 5-10 business days. For urgent heritage documentation or time-sensitive tourism projects, we offer expedited scheduling.

San Marino operates under ENAC (Italian Civil Aviation Authority) regulations as Italian airspace authority covers Sammarinese territory. Our pilots hold EU-recognized certifications and we coordinate with ENAC for flight authorizations. We handle all regulatory compliance for drone operations in San Marino, including heritage site protocols, coordination with government authorities, and adherence to UNESCO buffer zone restrictions around the Three Towers. Special permissions are arranged for flights over the historic center.

We deploy industry-leading equipment including Trimble X12 and NavVis VLX3 terrestrial scanners for interior heritage documentation, Matterport Pro3 for virtual tours, and DJI Matrice 400 RTK and Skydio X10 drones for aerial surveys. All systems achieve survey-grade accuracy with plus/minus 2-4mm precision for scanning. For the medieval towers and fortifications, we use specialized long-range scanning capabilities that can capture details from safe distances without requiring direct contact with historic fabric.

Yes, UNESCO World Heritage site documentation is one of our core San Marino specializations. We have experience scanning medieval towers, fortifications, and historic structures throughout Europe. For the Guaita, Cesta, and Montale towers, we combine drone photography for exterior documentation with ground-based scanning for accessible interiors and foundations. All work follows UNESCO documentation standards and we coordinate with the San Marino Cultural Heritage authorities to ensure compliance with preservation protocols.

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive documentation services for San Marino's museums and cultural institutions including the State Museum, Torture Museum, Wax Museum, and numerous private collections. Our services include artifact scanning, exhibition space documentation, visitor flow analysis through 3D modeling, and virtual tour creation for online audiences. We understand the particular requirements of working around sensitive collections and fragile historic interiors.

Standard deliverables include registered point clouds (E57, RCP, LAS formats), Matterport virtual tours with measurement tools, 2D CAD floor plans and elevations, orthomosaic aerial maps, and BIM models in Revit format. For heritage projects we also provide condition assessment reports, deviation analysis from historic drawings, and archival-quality documentation meeting UNESCO standards. All deliverables include technical reports, accuracy certifications, and project metadata.

We understand San Marino's significant tourism patterns with over 2 million visitors annually concentrated in the historic center. For heritage site scanning, we recommend early morning sessions (6-8am) before tourist arrivals or evening work after sites close. For retail and commercial spaces, we offer overnight scanning to avoid business disruption. Museum documentation is typically scheduled on closure days. We coordinate closely with site operators to minimize impact on visitor experience.

Yes, all our documentation, reports, and client communications are available in both Italian and English. Given San Marino's official language is Italian and its close ties with Italy, we ensure all technical deliverables include Italian labeling where required. Our project managers communicate in your preferred language, and we can provide annotations and documentation in additional languages for international tourism or academic projects.
