What Arrival 3D does

Arrival 3D, Inc. is a privately held, self-funded 3D laser scanning and reality capture services firm headquartered in Oklahoma City, founded in 2002 and operating continuously since inception. The company provides LiDAR-based 3D laser scanning using terrestrial (Leica RTC360, Leica P-Series), mobile (NavVis VLX), and drone/UAV platforms to produce millimeter-accurate point clouds — stated accuracy of ±1mm versus a typical industry range of 2–6mm. Core deliverables include Scan-to-BIM models in Autodesk Revit, 2D floor plans and CAD drawings, as-built documentation, and digital twins with live facility-management integration. The firm also delivers CFD-ready geometry compatible with Ansys, Future Facilities, and 6SigmaRoom, and output formats interoperable with major DCIM platforms (Sunbird, Nlyte, Vertiv Trellis, Schneider EcoStruxure).

The company operates a project-based professional services model with fixed-price proposals delivered within 48 hours and typical project turnaround of 10 days, executed by regional field teams covering all 50 U.S. states with no travel surcharge on most contiguous-U.S. engagements. Customer segments span Architecture/Engineering/Construction, facility owners and operators, industrial and manufacturing clients (power plants, oil and gas, factories), data centers (enterprise, colocation, hyperscale, edge), and government/municipal projects. Disclosed scale includes 10,000+ cumulative projects, a 25-site coast-to-coast program for Henrietta ACC sorting centers, and a 130-school engagement for Boston Schools. Leadership comprises Lanny Smith as President and Founder, and Armando Alonso as Business Development Manager.

Revenue mechanics are quote-based, professional services fees with pay-as-you-go project billing; no tiered pricing is publicly disclosed. The firm reports 2024 ARR of $1.2M with a stated valuation of $3.6M, has no external institutional funding, no recorded M&A, and a headcount band of 1–10 employees. Recent commercial emphasis is on data center scanning tied to AI infrastructure build-out and liquid cooling retrofit planning, alongside expansion into adjacent verticals such as aerospace, cell towers, wind turbines, and ships/boats.
