Industrial production is undergoing a transformation under the influence of digitization and automation.
Rationalization of resource consumption, time, and spent energy are the goals to be achieved, and solutions are
sought in the precise monitoring of the production process, identification and utilization of residues, possibilities
of product variability and satisfactory product quality. The paper presents results of the concept verification of
digitalization of residues in production, for designing new products in the wood industry. As part of the research
project for the development of innovative decorative wall panels at the company Spačva Ltd. the development
of aesthetic components for wood products from sliced Slavonian oak (Quercus robur) veneer production waste
is carried out.

Based on the reviewed literature in the field of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and data transformation, the
concept of data format conversion from point cloud to NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline) for use in
the BIM approach was set (Barazzetti et al., 2015). This work will present the initial part of the research, the goal
of which is to create a digital BIM model of the selected wood residue. Concept verification begins with creating
a point cloud by laser scanning the residue followed by converting the point cloud into a mesh of surfaces and
finally, creating its three-dimensional representation sufficient for further processing in BIM software (Beale et
al., 2019).

The results of the research will be used to improve the methodology of scanning and data transformation of
selected production residues. This improved methodology of scanning and data transformation will later be
applied in further research and procedures for creating informational digital models of new veneer wall covering
products for Spačva Ltd.
