Compact Imaging Laser Scanner For Fast And Accessible Reality Capturing
Dutco Tennant LLC presents the BLK360 Imaging Laser Scanner designed for rapid reality capture across AEC, BIM, VFX, VR, and immersive documentation workflows. With high definition surveying and automated alignment, it enables users to work faster and smarter while accessing available data immediately.
This laser scanning system captures the world around you with full-colour panoramic images overlaid on an accurate point cloud. Simple to use with just the single push of one button, the BLK360 is the smallest and lightest scanner of its kind. Anyone who can operate an iPad can now capture the world around them with high resolution 3D panoramic images.
Using the ReCap Pro mobile app, the BLK360 streams images and point cloud data to iPad. The app filters and registers scan data in real time. After capture, ReCap Pro enables point cloud data transfer to a number of CAD, BIM, VR and AR applications. The integration of BLK360 and Autodesk software dramatically streamlines the reality capture process thereby opening this technology to non-surveying individuals.
