Leica BLK360

Product Highlights

Welcome to the world’s smallest and lightest imaging laser scanner.

The democratization of reality capture blazes forward with the Leica BLK360. Designed to help new-to-LiDAR users capture point clouds and unlock their potential, it captures a scan faster than any other imaging laser scanner. 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 BLK360 puts serious scanning power in the palm of your hand.

Product Features

Combine new scans automatically in the field with Leica Geosystems’ exclusive Visual Inertial System (VIS) Technology.

The BLK360’s 4-camera system captures high dynamic range (HDR) spherical images and provides greater dynamic range for immersive photospheres and colorized point clouds.

The BLK360’s LiDAR sensor captures point clouds at 680,000 points per second – completing a total scan with spherical images in 20 seconds.

For a detailed product overview, please visit the Leica BLK360 product page .

The BLK360 delivers a 360-degree, panoramic image and full dome scan in less than 30 seconds, making it the fastest imaging laser scanner out there. 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 BLK360 represents a new leap forward in fully automated, ultrafast, detailed laser scanning.

Software options for every kind of project: 

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 FIELD 360 App

Cyclone FIELD 360 allows users to control the BLK360 and visualize scans and imagery directly on-site. It also supports in-field pre-registration, enabling immediate data validation and improved efficiency through seamless integration with Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS.

Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS (BLK Edition)

Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS (BLK Edition) features an intuitive UI, guided workflows, and an easy process for working with data downstream with more advanced tools like Cyclone 3DR and CloudWorx. Or export your cloud as a standard E57 file or Autodesk's native RCP file format.

PinPoint

PinPoint is a point cloud registration and modeling software that streamlines the creation of as-built and other 3D and 2D deliverables through its intuitive interface, easy-to-use measurement tools, and efficient modeling workflows.

Reality Cloud Studio

The BLK360 works directly with Reality Cloud Studio, Hexagon’s easy-to-use reality capture cloud software solution, to seamlessly connect people, projects, and reality capture data. Unleash the potential of your reality capture data and foster collaboration by sharing, visualizing, and using digital reality data directly in the cloud.

Get started out of the box

The BLK360 puts the power of reality capture at your fingertips, letting you scan, process, and share data faster than ever. With seamless integration across, BLK Live app, Cyclone FIELD 360, Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS (Regular or BLK Edition), PinPoint, and Reality Cloud Studio, users can capture complete datasets on-site, validate them instantly, and collaborate effortlessly – turning raw scans into actionable, highly accurate results.
