We went from a three-person crew onsite—pilot, visual observer, engineer—to one: the engineer with Skydio 3D Scan. It's a huge game changer.”
3D SCAN
Point at the asset. X10 does the rest.
Autonomous capture with intelligent flight path for any asset.
Reality is complex. Capture shouldn’t be. 3D Scan adapts each X10 flight to the scene, managing proximity, coverage, and overlap to produce complete, repeatable datasets for both 3D models and 2D maps.
Built for sites that don’t fit into rectangles.
Asset-aware capture.
Surface-hugging autonomy discovers the geometry before capture and plans the optimal path, ensuring complete coverage of complex structures while keeping crews safely on the ground.
Complete coverage in a single pass.
Autonomy maintains overlap in GNSS-challenged areas around structures so no surfaces are missed.
Mapping without surprises.
Flight altitude adapts to terrain and site conditions to maintain consistent overlap and geometry for reliable maps.
High-fidelity digital twins.
The result is clean, inspection-grade 3D models and maps, so teams can analyze, measure, and act with confidence.
From asset to dataset.
Step 1. Define your area
Select what to capture. For 3D, X10 flies closely, reads geometry, and creates an optimal mission grid; for maps, it plans a repeatable grid based on your parameters.
Step 2. Capture data autonomously
Obstacle-aware execution with rolling-shutter correction and RTK support delivers predictable geometry.
Step 3. Use your data
Review coverage on site, confirm completeness, and export to your existing photogrammetry workflow.
Export-ready for photogrammetry.
High-resolution imagery flows directly into your photogrammetry software for modeling and measurement workflows.
Seamlessly integrates with your existing photogrammetry software through Skydio Extend, making captured high-resolution data immediately actionable.
