VMTS × Biberach University: Academic Meets BIM Practice
We had the pleasure of welcoming two professors from Biberach University of Applied Sciences to our office to talk about the practice of the scan-to-BIM workflow.
Who Visited
- Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Wolfgang Brune, Vice President of Biberach University of Applied Sciences.
- Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexander Glock, Academic Director of Civil Engineering and Construction Management at the Vietnamese-German University (VGU).
What We Discussed
The exchange centered on how point cloud processing and scan-to-BIM modeling differ in practice from academic teaching, and where both sides can learn from each other. We showed how we build native BIM models for Revit, Archicad, Allplan, and Vectorworks from 3D laser scans, which levels of detail (LOD 100 to 400) are common, and how we check the accuracy of every model against the point cloud before it goes to the client.
Bridging Theory and Practice: Our Internship Program
A central topic of the conversation was our internship program. Students from Biberach University and VGU get hands-on experience with us in modeling with Archicad and Revit as well as point cloud processing, work on real projects, and learn the requirements that actually apply in professional practice.
Why This Partnership Matters to Us
Direct contact with universities like Biberach and VGU helps us work with qualified talent early on and regularly check our internal standards against current academic teaching. We thank Prof. Brune and Prof. Glock for the visit and the open exchange, and we look forward to more conversations between academia and practice.

Endre Szokolai, Digitalplan-SzokolaiVMT modeled a large industrial building in 3D for our research project. We provided DWG plans to VMT, and they delivered a highly detailed model, including the building envelope, interior walls, openings, and stairs. We had previously contracted a German company for the same object, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out. I was relieved and pleased that VMT handled it so reliably. Thank you for the excellent work and the truly fair price!
Very reliable company, courteous staff, and top-quality work. Our plans were created quickly and accurately. Thank you for that. Highly recommended.
Excellent advice and high 3D modeling quality at a great price-performance ratio… What more could you want? I can highly recommend them…
