Leica 3D DISTO Laser Scanner

Ever since the launch of the first Leica DISTO, customers have asked if there is a device that could scan a room to develop plans. Customers were shocked to find that at the time laser scanners cost a few hundred thousand and to be truthfull, an over kill for developing room plans.

Leica Geosystems are always looking at progressing technology and introducing new developments into the field that customers can use. With a requirement in mind, they have developed what can truley be the next step in compact measuring.

The Leica 3D DISTO combines the advanced technology of the high specification Leica DISTO with angular measurements to create the first compact laser measure / scanner.

The precise position of each point, targeted with the integrated camera and captured with the laser beam. In short: the Leica 3D DISTO detects the location and height of target points. Data is captured and stored and can be post-processed. The result: an efficient, precise, and fast tool that is revolutionarily easy to handle.

The Leica 3D DISTO records location, height, and distance measurements in XYZ co-ordinates. It has never been easier to create as-built records of ceiling, floor, and roof surfaces; volumes; slopes; height differences; angles; and much more. Plumb points despite obstacles – no problem!

The Leica 3D DISTO is controlled by a robust, hand-held unit or by remote control unit. Full control of the measuring unit is preformed the high resolution touch screen display. The easy to use intuitive user interface allows the operator to control the measuring unit from one location and with the integration of a digital camera, the user cal see where the laser is pointed. The real-time display of measurements as drawings on the screen allow on-site completeness checks. At the press of a button data is recorded in standard tables, photos, DXF, and text files. It is so easy!

Advantages of the Leica 3D DISTO

• Measure and draw simultaneously, on site
• Automatically measure all surfaces, horizontal or vertical: simply define the measurement area and interval and start. No detail is forgotten; all angles and surface irregularities are captured.
• Unfold mode: change from footprint to face view – to measure wall detail, view or check previously measured values/points.
• Helpful tools to measure windows and pipe connections reduce the work involved.
• Automatically create and export drawings with borders and folding marks: data can be printed without the need for further processing.
• Easily measure from room to room, data fits together
• Smart range of accessories makes your life easier
• Perfect for craftsmen, architects, and all professionals, who can benefit from an easy to use measurement solution
