Description
Welcome to the next generation of the world’s smallest and lightest imaging laser scanner.
The democratization of reality capture blazes forward with the new Leica BLK360. Still designed to help new-to-LiDAR users capture point clouds and unlock their potential, it does so seven times faster than the original. Other upgrades include higher quality images, better-looking point clouds, and location tracking that pre-aligns your scans using our patented VIS system. Whether conducting a survey or scouting a movie location, the new BLK360 puts serious scanning power in the palm of your hand.
The new BLK360 improves upon everything users loved about the BLK360 G1. A 360-degree, panoramic image and full-dome scan now take less than 30 seconds, making it the fastest imaging laser scanner out there. And it has better image quality, data visualization, and point cloud colorization, along with a new USB-C port for speedy data transfer All in a package that’s 20% smaller than its predecessor.
Four scan settings capture data in 7, 13, 30, or 75 seconds at 680,000 points per second. And our patented Visual Inertial System (VIS) uses onboard cameras to track the device’s position for in-field pre-registration of captured data, significantly speeding up workflows and automatically combining scan setups on-site.
Fully compatible with Leica Geosystems Cyclone suite of Reality Capture software, the new BLK360 represents a new leap forward in fully automated, ultrafast, detailed laser scanning.
BLK Live App
The BLK360 includes a free companion app, BLK Live, allowing the user to control the imaging laser scanner and immediately view captured data for on-site feedback, quality assurance, and quality control. Available for iOS and Android.
Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 Subscription
REGISTER 360 is a simplified version of Leica Geosystems Cyclone REGISTER that features an intuitive UI, guided workflows, and an easy process for sharing data downstream with more advanced tools like JetStream and TruView. Or export your cloud as a standard E57 file or Autodesk's native RCP file format.
Get started out of the box
To work with point cloud data on your computer, users can use the BLK Live app to export E57 files or subscribe to Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 (Regular or BLK Edition). Cyclone REGISTER 360 BLK Edition is optimized for the BLK360 and provides streamlined workflows to assist new users and speed up the process for experienced users.
Software options for every kind of project
For larger projects or existing Cyclone users, Leica Geosystems Cyclone REGISTER 360, the BLK Live app, and Cyclone FIELD 360 are also available to help register your scans together and view scan data and imagery in real-time.
