Global Design Solutions (GDS) creates accurate, data-driven 3D models for manufacturing plants, architectural spaces, and product design. Powered by precision 3D laser scanning, our scan-to-model workflow transforms real-world geometry into production-ready digital assets for fabrication, documentation, visualization, and training.
Deliverables include STEP, STL, OBJ, FBX, Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and other professional formats.
Every project starts with high-resolution field capture. GDS converts point clouds into structured, editable geometry with millimeter-level fidelity—ready for BIM, CAD, and visualization pipelines.
Parametric, tolerance-driven CAD for components and assemblies – including legacy part recreation via reverse engineering. Models integrate with your
design, simulation, and fabrication workflows.
We create watertight, print-ready models optimized for materials, orientation, and resolution – ideal for rapid prototyping and functional parts.
BIM-ready as-built models generated directly from LiDAR and terrestrial scans, structured for coordination and facility documentation.
We produce interactive and photorealistic models for AR/VR, eCommerce, and brand activations.
When you need impact, we deliver Hero 3D content that bridges engineering accuracy with visual storytelling.
GDS converts laser scan point clouds into production-ready CAD and BIM models with millimeter-level accuracy. Every deliverable is structured to fit directly into your engineering, fabrication, or facility management workflow — no re-work, no compatibility issues.
Ready to model your plant, facility, or product? We’ll convert your scans and ideas into precise, usable 3D models for printing, BIM, and production.

3D modeling supports manufacturing and plant design, architecture and BIM, visualization, and 3D printing. GDS models spaces, machinery, and components to serve engineering and creative use cases.
Yes. Our scan-to-model process converts high-resolution laser scans into structured geometry for BIM, CAD, fabrication, and documentation.
Manufacturing, architecture, construction, infrastructure, and product design — from single parts to multi-site facilities.
GDS creates accurate, data-driven 3D models for manufacturing plants, architectural buildings, and product design. They specialize in scan-to-model workflows — taking real-world geometry captured by laser scans and converting it into digital models suitable for fabrication, documentation, visualization, or training.
GDS uses high-resolution field capture and converts point clouds into structured, editable geometry with millimeter-level fidelity. This means the models produced from scans are extremely accurate representations of the real world, ensuring the resulting BIM or CAD model is trustworthy and precise.
GDS delivers models in the formats clients need — including STEP, STL, OBJ, FBX for interchange and visualization, and BIM/CAD formats like Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and IFC. Whether you need a model for engineering or a game engine, GDS can provide the right output.
Yes. GDS provides parametric, tolerance-driven CAD for components and assemblies, including 2D-to-3D conversions and model reconstruction from old drawings. Models are built with the right constraints and features for manufacturing and CAE analysis.
Absolutely. GDS creates watertight, optimized meshes tailored for the specific material and resolution of the 3D printer. They handle STL and OBJ preparation, mesh repair, and ensure the model is oriented and designed for additive manufacturing success.
GDS generates BIM-ready as-built models straight from LiDAR and terrestrial scans — covering architectural elements, structural frames, and MEP systems. Deliverables in Revit, Navisworks, or IFC are structured for coordination and facility documentation.
Yes. GDS creates interactive and photorealistic models for AR/VR, eCommerce, and marketing. They deliver Hero 3D content that merges engineering accuracy with visual storytelling — models that look great for presentations and can be integrated into AR/VR experiences or product demos.
Companies pick GDS for its complete workflow — handling scanning through modeling and visualization — and for its accuracy and format flexibility. GDS can output in virtually any format needed, meaning clients do not have to worry about compatibility. Their experience ensures models correctly capture real-world conditions and meet client specifications.
GDS aligns modeling outputs with the client’s workflows. If a manufacturer uses SolidWorks and ANSYS, GDS provides SolidWorks files ready for simulation. If a building owner uses Revit, GDS delivers a labeled Revit model. Deliverables are production-ready so the client can use them without extra conversion or remodeling work.
