Top 5 terrestrial laser scanners of 2022

The more information you have in your hands, the better decisions you make regarding your industrial or architectural project. That is why, in recent years the use of a 3D Laser Scanners has become one of the measurement tools with the greatest recognition and purchase in each country worldwide. A 3D scanner is a product that can be considered in measurements and other activities or to take a decision.

We invite you to continue reading to discover how technology has advanced through the top 5 terrestrial laser scanners that are gaining territory. The service for people of the industry and its clients due to its precision, speed, scope, price and many other advantages.

‍

Before introducing you to the various types of scanners, you must be clear about what a 3D laser scanner is and how it works. In itself, laser scanning is a process based on a technology known in English as Light Detection and Ranging, LiDAR. A massive position measurement system that, remotely and with a laser scanning sensor, emits pulses to generate digitization. These pulses emitted by the device touch various surfaces in the environment that are recorded as points. The same ones are used to obtain information and generate a three-dimensional image of the space that is being scanned.

What would happen if we left the traditional methods and started using new technologies like laser scanning? Find the answer in our variety of articles, for example in our article What is 3D Laser Scanning? you will find the answer.‍

If you are looking for scope, precision and versatility, it is time to leave traditional methods behind and focus your attention on the new trends behind 3d mapping of spaces. Below we present the best tools that will allow you to capture a real environment in 3D.

‍

This brand has become one of the most reliable worldwide in terms of measurement and generation of 3D scans. Being the BIM/CIM construction industry one of the most beneficial thanks to its technological advances. In addition, this great tool is ideal for use in extreme scanning conditions by offering protection against external agents such as rain, fog, or dust. Not to mention, it has a built-in field compensation routine, perfect for ensuring accuracy in each of your scanning projects.

Leica RTC360

If you are looking for a solution that quickly and agilely captures the 3d layout of spaces, this is your best option. One of the great advantages that this scanner offers you is that it has Leica Cyclone FIELD 360, an application for your smartphone that records what you scan automatically and in real-time. And not only that but the Leica Cyclone Register 360 software integrates all your 3D models directly into your workflow. With certainty an alternative that allows you to visualize all the necessary details for the optimal planning of your projects.

‍

The scan includes height information using a sensor called an altimeter, for use when inspecting multiple floors on the ground within the structure. These data are then used for different soil types.

‍

This solution has an automatic self-leveling system that ensures data consistency, a crucial aspect when carrying out topographic or construction surveys. In addition, and thanks to its Trimble X-Drive technology, there is no need to perform an annual calibration of the equipment. Which also translates into the optimization of your resources.

‍

‍

‍

Leader in long-range scanners, but with multiple options according to your needs. Its three models; short, medium and long-range, they allow you to capture the current condition of your areas of interest through their multiple lenses that quickly modify the focal length settings to offer you information not otherwise achievable. This is one of the most resistant and versatile 3d laser scanning solutions that you can find on the market today.

‍

With a range of 600 meters, this system is focused on precision behind mine surveying. It also enables the ability to measure stopes, leads and tunnels more easily and accurately. It also offers a scanning window of -40° to 90° vertically and 360° horizontally to make it possible to capture all surfaces regardless of direction. And to visualize the real scope of the project, it offers you a functionality that allows; via the tablet driver, import CAD lines and surfaces for real-time comparison between scans and your geological model.

‍

‍

As you have seen, these are 5 of the most distinguished 3D laser scanning technology solutions. And although they can all meet specific requirements; such as topographical surveys, mining surveys and even risk studies, all of them are focused on saving you money, mitigating risks, offering pinpoint accuracy and, not least, streamlining processes so that you save time.

FARO Focus 3D laser scanner from Vivtech. For 3D scanning of large objects Tel. in Moscow +7(495) 755-91-45

Is that right?

YesChange city

High-speed laser scanner FARO Focus allows you to get a three-dimensional digital model (point cloud) of the surrounding space within a few minutes. Two modifications of the device are designed for an operating range of up to 20m and 120m. The received data contains millions of points (scan speed up to 967000 points per second) and the most detailed detailed information about the environment. Thanks to a special technology, it is possible to combine several scans into a single point cloud, which makes it possible to obtain the geometry of objects whose size exceeds the working area of ​​the device.

Applications:

• Reverse engineering
• High-precision scanning of industrial objects
• Criminalistics
• Architecture scanning
• Digitization of tunnels
• Measurement of linear and angular dimensions of large items
• Control and analysis of complex curved surfaces by comparison with a CAD model.

Features:

• Millimeter precision
• Scanning speed 976,000 points per second
• Color scans possible with built-in camera
• Complete autonomy. Li-Ion battery allows you to work up to 5 hours. No additional devices required for scanning
• Wireless control capability via WiFi
• Built-in touch display and intuitive interface make it easy to operate the
scanner
• Compass and altimeter are built into the FARO Focus 3D scanner to simplify the stitching of point clouds
• All data is stored on an SD card and can be easily transferred to a computer.
