Lumber3D: Precision 3D Measurement Revolutionising Lumber Grading

Transform your lumber processing with cutting-edge 3D geometric measurement technology that captures every millimeter with unprecedented accuracy.

Why Lumber3D? The Next Leap in Lumber Measurement

Beyond 2D Limitations

Traditional 2D scanners miss critical dimensional data, leading to suboptimal grading decisions and wasted material. Lumber3D captures every board's complete geometry in full 3D, revealing defects, warps, and twists that conventional systems simply cannot detect.

With measurement precision of ≤1mm, you gain unprecedented accuracy for defect detection, volume calculation, and yield optimisation—giving you the competitive edge in today's demanding timber market.

Built for Excellence

Designed specifically for sawmills and wood processors who demand the highest precision and efficiency, Lumber3D integrates seamlessly into existing production lines whilst delivering transformational results.

Every board is scanned with millimeter-perfect accuracy, unlocking new possibilities for automated grading, optimised cutting patterns, and maximum material utilisation across your entire operation.

The Challenge with Current Lumber Measurement

The timber industry has long struggled with the limitations of conventional measurement approaches, resulting in significant operational inefficiencies and lost revenue opportunities.

2D Camera

Limited Perspective

Conventional systems rely on 2D imaging or manual measurement, which are inherently prone to errors and inconsistencies. Critical dimensional data is simply missed, leading to poor grading decisions.

Insufficient Defect Detection

Limited defect detection capabilities on complex surfaces and board edges dramatically reduces optimisation potential. Hidden defects lead to quality issues and customer dissatisfaction downstream.

Revenue Loss

Inaccurate volume and shape data translates directly to lost revenue and inefficient processing. Without precise measurements, optimal cutting patterns remain impossible, wasting valuable timber.

How Lumber3D Works: Cutting-Edge 3D Geometric Scanning

Multi-Angle Capture

Combines AI, high-resolution cameras and 3D laser profiling for simultaneous 2 or 4-side scanning

Real-Time Processing

Scans at 300m/min with board dimensions 0-1500mm width, 500-7000mm length, 10-200mm thickness

Millimeter Precision

Achieves ±3mm length, ±1mm width, ±1mm thickness accuracy with cup, bow, crook measurement
