With the Leica HDS3000, high-definition surveying has never been easier and friendlier for surveyors and measurement professionals. For example, it supports standard surveying procedures, such as instrument setup over a known or assumed survey point, height-of-instrument measurement, and instrument orientation. These same features are also valuable for automated geo-referencing of captured data to local coordinate systems. The new QuickScan mode allows users to quickly and easily define the extents of the scanning scene by simply pushing a button on the scanner. Efficient battery swapping and improved weight/portability allows for even more flexible and friendlier field operations.

Just as significant as its ease-of-use, the HDS3000 takes the industry-leading accuracy (6mm at 50m) and versatility of its popular predecessor, the Cyrax® 2500, to the next level of productivity. It combines SmartScan Technology™ with a maximum 360° horizontal field-of-view and an equally impressive maximum 270° vertical FOV. In a nutshell, the Leica HDS3000 is a versatile, multi-purpose scanner that combines high efficiency with high accuracy for a broad range of civil engineering, plant and building projects

In the hands of the Morgan Stewart Survey Team the Leica HDS 3000 can now capture data faster and much more efficiently without interrupting existing work in progress, a major technology breakthrough for the surveying and engineering of highways and roadbeds. As well, the 360 degree horizontal and 270 degree vertical scanning capability of the HDS3000 makes it uniquely suitable for interior work in plants, historical sites and other areas normally difficult to capture with traditional technologies.
