Brookfield, Wisconsin – Exact Metrology, a comprehensive metrology service provider, announces the immediate availability of the Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner. Manufactured by Leica Geosystems and distributed by Exact Metrology, these portable coordinate measuring machines are designed to measure large-scale objects. This laser scanner uses 3D reality capture, a process of scanning and capturing any site, for example, factories, and buildings, in a 3D digital model, combining measurements and imagery. The model can be used for design and comparison purposes in various situations, capturing every detail with to-the-millimeter accuracy. This technology combines one-touch operation with portability and speed to deliver high levels of accuracy, automation, and the ability to create 3D environments in a matter of minutes.
The RTC360 combines a high-performance 3D laser scanner with Leica Cyclone Field 360, a mobile device app that automatically registers scans in real time and Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360, office software that integrates the 3D model into the workflow. Additional features include capturing scans, including enriching HDR imagery, in less than two minutes.
With a measuring rate up to 2 million points per second, automated targetless field registration (based on VIS technology), and automated transfer of data from site to office, the device and software greatly reduce time spent in the field and maximize productivity.
The scanner’s portable design and collapsible tripod fit into most backpacks. Low noise data allows for better images, resulting in crisp, high-quality scans that can be used in a variety of applications.
