Exciting New Additions to the Leica BLK Lineup

Image
  The manufacturer of the award-winning Leica laser scanners recently announced the brand new Leica BLK ARC and the Leica BLK2FLY. These exciting additions feature autonomous reality capture (ARC) solutions that can make drones and other robots autonomous. ARC technology is the next step toward making difficult laser scanning projects easier, safer, and more cost-effective for companies across several industries.  What is Autonomous Reality Capture? Autonomous Reality Capture (ARC) is a system that allows 3D scanners to work without being continually operated by a staff member. It turns 3D scanners into set-it-and-forget-it technology that makes point cloud measurements more efficient.  One big advancement with this technology is combining ARC with drones to make autonomous drones. The drone uses ARC to learn about the area around itself and fly without the need for a pilot. Companies use them to complete 3D building and area scans when it is too dangerous or complicated ...

What is 3D Laser Scanning and Why It Is Essential in Several Industries

Image
  3D scanning is the process of using a laser scanner to take measurements of an area or an object. It requires the use of a 3D laser scanner, like the BLK 360 Laser Scanner, and software, like Autodesk Build. Multiple industries use 3D laser scanning as an important part of their projects. Here is how 3D scanning is essential in several industries.
