Leica RTC500 3D Laser Scanner

Leica RTC500 3D Laser Scanner

The Leica RTC500 is a professional 3D laser scanner that captures the shape and dimensions of physical spaces. It creates dense digital measurements of buildings, structures, and surrounding surfaces for surveying, construction, infrastructure, and public safety work.

The scanner records millions of surface points to form a three-dimensional point cloud. This data provides a detailed record of existing conditions that professionals can measure, examine, and use in subsequent design and documentation workflows.

Integrated cameras add panoramic color imagery to the laser measurements. Combining geometry with photographs makes captured spaces easier to recognize and review, helping users understand the surroundings and identify important details.

The RTC500 also helps streamline work between scanning positions. Its Visual Inertial System supports automatic scan alignment on site, while connected Leica software allows teams to review data and check coverage during collection.

Through Leica’s field software and cloud services, office staff can collaborate with scanning crews as work progresses. This supports earlier quality checks, better coordination, and a smoother transition from site capture to validated project data.

Features:

• Fast scanning: captures up to 2 million points per second.
• 130 m maximum range: supports capture across buildings and larger sites.
• High accuracy: specified 3D point accuracy of 1.5 mm at 10 m and 3.8 mm at 50 m, under Leica’s stated test conditions.
• Wide coverage: 360° horizontal and 300° vertical field of view.
• HDR photography: six integrated cameras produce detailed panoramic color imagery.
• Automatic scan registration: Visual Inertial System (VIS) tracks movement between setups to help align scans on site.
• Automatic self-calibration: operates without user interaction or calibration targets.
• Touchscreen control: built-in 4.3-inch color display.
• Remote operation: control through Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 on iOS or Android.
• Cloud collaboration: Livelink connects field and office teams through Cyclone FIELD 360 and Hexagon GeoCloud.
• Large storage: 512 GB internal SSD with USB-C data transfer.
• Field-ready construction: IP55 protection in specified orientations and operation from −20°C to +50°C.
• Rechargeable power: two lithium-ion batteries provide typically up to four hours of operation.
