Steel fabrication is a complex and
time-consuming process that requires
precision and accuracy to ensure a
successful outcome. Even small errors
in measurements or cutting can result
in significant delays and additional
costs. For steel fabricators, the need
for accuracy cannot be overstated,
and any tools or techniques that can
help achieve it are highly valuable.
Accurate measurements are the
foundation of successful steel
fabrication. Without precise
measurements, the entire process can
be thrown off, leading to improperly
sized and fitted pieces, which can
Scanning is quickly becoming an
indispensable tool for steel fabricators
in the modern construction industry.
This technology has the potential to
revolutionize the way steel fabricators
design and fabricate, reducing errors
and costs while helping them keep
up with the fast-paced demands of
the steel industry. In this eBook, we
will explore the power of scanning
for steel fabricators and how it can
help streamline their processes. We'll
discuss the importance of combining
scanning with BIM to ensure accuracy
and reduce costs, as well as look at
real-world examples of how scanning
has helped steel fabricators.

cause issues during installation. Even
a slight difference in size can make
a piece unusable and require re-
fabrication, leading to wasted time,
materials, and money.
Moreover, accurate measurements
also ensure safety. Steel structures
such as bridges, skyscrapers, and
even industrial machinery must
withstand a variety of stresses and
environmental factors, and a small
mistake in measurements can result in
a catastrophic failure.
