BLK3D: How this Revolutionary Multi-Award-Winning Scanning Tool is Used in the Field
From building projects to crime scene investigations, the Leica BLK3D Imager can scan anything by taking a picture. This award-winning laser scanner is a compact device that improves productivity by enabling instant, precise 3D measurements from any image it captures.
What is the BLK3D?
The BLK3D gives you access to projects, anywhere, and anytime allowing you to capture critical moments throughout the life of a building. Every image captured is a complete and precise 3D measurement record, giving you immediate access to the information you need to improve workflow.
How it works
The most significant feature of the BLK3D is how it measures within photos. Once you take the image, you have the option to measure with the push of a button. It quickly processes the image providing you tools to measure distances and points. Auto-Snapping uses computer vision technologies to select the right points for your measurements. Share the data as a PDF or JPG.
