Description

With just a single press of a button, users can effortlessly capture a comprehensive scan with spherical images in a mere twenty seconds – a remarkable five times faster than its predecessor, the BLK360 G1. Navigate job sites with unparalleled rapid scanning capabilities, delivering exceptional speed without compromising data quality.

The Visual Inertial System (VIS) Technology takes automation to the next level by seamlessly combining scans on-site, accelerating workflows, and ensuring completeness of datasets. The BLK360 empowers users to work faster and smarter, providing instant access to the essential data they need.

This versatile BLK360 data finds utility in a myriad of applications, ranging from traditional AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) to immersive VFX (Visual Effects) and VR (Virtual Reality). Effortlessly transfer and integrate the data within your software ecosystem to craft immersive, highly accurate deliverables, and experiences.

Take command of the imaging laser scanner effortlessly using the Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 mobile app. This allows users to control the device, pre-register scans with the VIS technology, and view captured data on-site. Stream image and point cloud data to a smartphone or tablet, or transfer final project data to Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS or Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS (BLK Edition) via Wi-Fi, ensuring seamless data synchronization across devices.

The inclusion of a complimentary companion app, BLK Live, enhances user control by providing immediate on-site feedback, quality assurance, and quality control for the captured data. Available on both iOS and Android platforms, this app ensures a user-friendly experience.

Moreover, the BLK360 simplifies data transfer and sharing. Upload data directly to HxDR with automatic conversion to OBJ and cloud-based visualization, enabling collaborative work and easy data retrieval. Alternatively, transfer data to Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS or export to E57 via USB-C or WLAN for efficient Scan-to-BIM workflows, streamlining the reality capture process and reducing data processing time.

Immersive HDR Imaging

The BLK360’s four 13-megapixel cameras capture high-quality photospheres, and 5-bracket HDR imaging captures all the details in challenging lighting conditions and environments for more immersive photospheres and colourised point clouds.

VIS Scan Alignment System

Leica Geosystems patented VIS, available with the LeicaRTC360 laser scanner, is now built into the new BLK360 to combine scans automatically. Each scan captured in the field combines with the previous scan so you’ll spend less time aligning data in the office and more time creating valuable deliverables.

Ultra-Fast Scanning

The enclosed LiDAR sensor in the new BLK360 captures point clouds at a rate of 680,000 points per second and completes a scan with spherical images in 20 seconds, with flexible scan settings to ensure you capture everything you want and need.

High-Speed Data Transfer

The USB-C port on the BLK360 gives you a faster, easier way to transfer your data, nine times faster than the BLK360 G1. You’ll benefit from fast and stable data transfers without relying on WLAN.

Upload to HxDR

The new BLK360, like the BLK2GO, BLK2FLY, and BLK ARK, connects directly to HxDR, Hexagon’s cloud-based storage, visualisation, and collaboration platform for reality capture and geospatial data. Upload scans to HxDR for simple cloud storage, including any E57 file or directly from compatible Leica BLK scanners.

Download the App!

The Cyclone FIELD 360 mobile-device app is free to download. A valid Cyclone REGISTER, Cyclone REGISTER 360 or Cyclone REGISTER 360 (BLK Edition) licence is required to activate Cyclone FIELD 360 as the login credentials are the same. Download the Cyclone FIELD 360 app from the App Store and Google Play.
