A New Solution: The Leica RTC360

With technology changing so rapidly, it’s easy to fall behind on the latest products. When Leica informed me about the RTC360 Laser Scanner, I placed an order right away.

I believe this scanner won’t replace the P-series scanners, nor will it replace the BLK360, it should fit nicely between them. I expect this scanner to decrease our time onsite and expedite our workflow for clients.

The Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner is highly portable, highly automated, intuitive and designed for maximum productivity spanning many industries. It’s fast, precise and registers point clouds “automatically”.

• Fast: With a measuring rate of up to 2 million points per second and advanced HDR imaging system, the creation of colorized 3D point clouds can be completed in as little as two minutes. Plus, automated targetless field registration and seamless, automated transfer of data from site to office will reduce time spent in the field and further maximize productivity.
• Precise: Low noise data allows for better images, resulting in crisp, high-quality scans that are rich in detail and ready for use in a range of applications.
• Registers Point Clouds Automatically: The scanner includes a new technology Leica is calling VIS (visual inertial system) that performs automatic point cloud alignment in the field, with no input from the user. Basically, it uses cameras to track the 3D coordinates of features—like the edges of a door, the floor, or a window—to track your position as you move within a room, between rooms, or even between floors.

Knowing your way around established technology isn't enough anymore. You also have to look beyond today's solutions and be ready for what lies ahead. I am constantly looking for the latest technology, even if it replaces some of the scanners that came online only a few short years ago.
