Expertise &
Equipment
Getting the combination right. 30+ years of real-world engineering experience, combined with top-of-the-line in-house hardware and software — always ready for your project.
The Right Mix
Expertise That Counts
30+ years in design, manufacturing and engineering — combined with hands-on experience using advanced CAD and scanning technology. We know what needs to be captured, and how your designers want it delivered.
Tailored Approach
We listen, collaborate, and propose solutions that fit your team's workflow and project needs. Not a one-size-fits-all sales pitch — practical advice from people who have done the job themselves.
Versatile Solutions
From indoor scans to city-scale surveys — we handle projects that demand unique techniques and precise results. Our web portal means everyone on your team can view, measure, and slice the model.
Always Ready
CADSense operates all equipment in-house in Southland. We're not hiring scanners for a few days a year — we're always set up, calibrated, and ready to mobilise for your project.
Accuracy You Can Rely On
Our Equipment
S-Series Scanners ×2
Top-of-the-line 3D laser scanners — and yes, we have a spare. For plant shutdowns and critical projects, a second scanner on-site means no delays and a backup if needed.
GNSS RTK — Dual Base & Rover
Survey-grade multi-band RTK GNSS with tilt compensation. We can create our own on-site NTRIP network over known points, or connect via modem. Supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS.
RTK GNSS Drones ×3
DJI RTK drones that receive centimetre-accurate position data from our on-site GNSS base. Purpose-built for accurate low-altitude mapping — with unique lens distortion parameters written into every image for precision post-processing.
Leica Disto Setups
Nothing beats checking the data on the day. Our Leica Disto and Total Station setups let us truth the capture data at start, middle, and finish — so we always know we're hitting the required targets.
Scan Plan 2D Laser Scanner
Fast, accurate building floorplans — with the ability to combine with our full 3D scanner to automatically generate an optimised scanning layout.
Dell Precision Workstations
Commercial NVIDIA Quadro-class GPUs and gigabytes of RAM — built for fast processing of large datasets and full 3D modelling. Backed by full office NAS storage and server infrastructure.
Tools We Use
Our in-house software stack covers every step from field capture to finished design — with expertise built over decades of real project work.
- Complete Suite of Laser Scanning Registration & Survey Applications
- Drone Pilots with CAA Part 101 & Part 102 Unmanned Aircraft Operator Certificate
- AutoCAD · Inventor · Recap · Full Autodesk Suite
Smart & Grounded in Practicality
Our team started on the workshop floor and on the farm, and prides itself on staying current at all levels of the industry. We have the knowledge and experience to select the right team, the right tools, and the right plan — at the right cost.
Ensuring true "Fit for Purpose" outcomes is not just talk at CADSense — it's our DNA.
"If you want sales specialists and bureaucracy, we can probably find that for you — but it will come from outside help." □
