ParaMatic™ 3D Scanning and Digital Twins
From Physical Reality to Digital Intelligence
Millimetre-accurate 3D scanning parametric modelling and digital twin development for mining and industrial operations.
The Industry Challenge
You Cannot Design Confidently When You Do Not Know What Exists
These scenarios cost clients millions every year
- Documentation does not match reality: decades of modifications and nothing updated
- Unknown conditions: we think that beam is 300 mm but we are not sure
- Expensive surprises: clashes discovered during installation
- Schedule delays: waiting for site measurements and redoing designs
- Safety risks: planning work without understanding actual spatial constraints
- No baseline data: unable to monitor deformation or structural changes
The traditional approach: send surveyors with tape measures. Wait weeks. Receive incomplete data. Make assumptions. Hope for the best.
The ParaMatic™ Solution
Enaleni’s ParaMatic™ service uses high-precision laser scanning to capture existing structures and equipment in millimetre-accurate 3D. We convert point clouds into parametric models overlay new designs embed deformation monitoring and create digital twins that enable predictive maintenance.
What ParaMatic™ Delivers
- ±2 mm accuracy for every beam pipe cable tray and equipment
- Design-ready models compatible with engineering software
- New systems validated against accurate as-built models
- Accurate spatial framework for sensor integration
- Baseline scans enable ongoing structural monitoring
The PARAMATIC™ Process
Phase 1: Reality Capture
Duration: 1 to 3 days- Deploy laser scanning systems on site
- Capture structures, equipment, piping and cable trays
- Sub millimetre accuracy at industrial ranges
Phase 2: Point Cloud Processing
Duration: 2 to 5 days- Register and align all scan positions
- Quality assurance and accuracy verification
- Export in industry standard formats
Phase 3: Parametric Modelling
Duration: 1 to 3 weeks- Convert point cloud into editable 3D models
- Model in Tekla, Revit and AutoCAD Plant 3D
- Accuracy within ±5 mm of physical reality
Phase 4: Digital Twin Development
Duration: 2 to 6 weeks- Integrate IoT sensors with 3D spatial model
- Develop real time visualisation dashboards
- Establish predictive analytics frameworks

CASE STUDY: R4.2M SAVED THROUGH CLASH DETECTION
New Crusher Installation in Constrained Plant
The Challenge
Installation of an 8.5 m tall crusher within a highly constrained operating plant environment. Only a 96 hour shutdown window was available for full integration.
Our Solution
- Laser scan and parametric model of existing facility
- Design overlay with automated clash detection
- 37 clashes identified and resolved virtually prior to shutdown
