120,000 m² in one model — Lauffenmühle.

The former Lauffenmühle industrial complex in Lauchringen is one of the largest contiguous 3D models of its kind worldwide. 14 buildings, outdoor surfaces, indoor spaces — captured completely and combined in a searchable digital-twin environment.

The walkable 3D tour of Lauffenmühle will be published shortly — final client approval is still pending.

The task

An industrial site as a digital twin.

The entire Lauffenmühle complex in the municipality of Lauchringen — formerly a textile mill, today an industrial, commercial and cultural site — needed to be captured completely and digitally for as-built documentation, site marketing and long-term planning.

The challenge: a hybrid model bringing outdoor areas, façades, interiors and halls into a single geo-referenced model — with no loss of accuracy at the transitions.

How we did it

Hybrid workflow in four stages.

STEP 01

Drone flight

RTK drone captures outdoor areas, roofs and façades — geo-referenced to ±2 cm.

STEP 02

Interior LiDAR

Terrestrial scanners in all indoor areas, 14 buildings, over 1 200 scan stations.

STEP 03

Registration

Registration of all interior and exterior data into a consistent geo-referenced model.

STEP 04

Handover

Matterport spaces, E57 point clouds via Matterpak, orthophoto maps via WebODM. BIM as-built models for sub-areas produced on request.

The scale of Lauffenmühle is exceptional. Bitblade Vision achieved in 12 scan days what we wouldn't have got elsewhere in several months — at a data quality we can feed directly into our planning pipeline.
