Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, introduces the Leica BLK360 SE Essentials, a comprehensive solution designed to make reality capture technology accessible.
The solution includes a scanner, field software, and modelling software for architecture, design, and construction professionals to start capturing and creating 2D and 3D models.
For example, carpenters working on fit-out projects often struggle to quickly obtain accurate templates of existing spaces, leading to measurement errors, material waste, and costly rework during installation. With laser scanning technology, they can quickly capture precise measurements of any space, dramatically improving their efficiency when producing, placing, and installing materials. The BLK360 SE Essentials makes this level of precision accessible to professionals who previously couldn't justify the investment in 3D laser scanner technology.
The BLK360 SE Essentials package combines three tools:
*Leica BLK360 SE
Delivering accuracy on par with the original Leica BLK360, the BLK360 SE is a lightweight, compact imaging laser scanner that produces professional-grade 2D and 3D models with a simple one-button operation. In under a minute, users can complete a 360-degree scan, accurate to 40 millimetres from 10 metres away. The four-camera system captures 104-megapixel HDR images to add detailed visual context to every model. Whether it’s for a home renovation, documenting existing structures, or modelling interiors, the BLK360 SE is tailored for use on smaller projects where the enhanced speed or automation of the BLK360 isn’t required.
*Leica Cyclone FIELD 360
The Cyclone FIELD 360 (BLK edition) app provides a simple mobile interface to guide users through the scanning process in the field, helping to align scans, adjust settings, and validate results. The app can also take quick, in-field measurements of walls, openings, and objects, helping to speed up decisions and deliverables even before the scan is processed.
*PinPoint
Back in the office, PinPoint quickly and intuitively turns scan data into usable models. Surfaces can be created directly from the point cloud. Architectural elements like walls, doors, and windows can be dropped in with automatic alignment that snaps everything into place quickly, accurately, and easily. Built-in tools for measurement, analysis, and data cleaning help keep projects accurate and organised. The data can be imported and exported to a wide variety of file formats and is compatible with popular CAD and BIM applications, so users can seamlessly integrate their scan data into their existing workflow, from initial planning to final presentation.
