In the Use Case Open-air museum – Beam, a historical timber beam is digitised, assessed and prepared for reproduction or conservation measures. The focus is on deriving robust geometry and condition data.
Use Case 3
Overview
Process map
Move over a process area to highlight the corresponding lifecycle step.
From survey record to building memory
The use case is structured around traceable component data: capture, decide, fabricate and write back.
Survey
TLS, photogrammetry and photographs document the façade and detail parts. The resulting data forms the first component-level record.
Planning
HBIM variants, damage assessment, repair decisions, tolerances and material choices are documented directly on the component.
Fabrication
Geometry, shop drawings, CAM data, additive workflows and QA checks are linked back to the same digital component.
Lifecycle
Installation, as-built verification and later inspections extend the twin into a long-term building memory.
About the use case “Open-air museum – Beam”
From scan data, a simplified, fabrication-ready model is derived (shrinkage, damage, tolerances). Based on that, options for replacement or reinforcement are parameterised and prepared for fabrication.
