Improve Civil, BIM & Plant Workflows with 3D Laser Scanning
Thursday, May 9 @ 1pm EST

When it comes to 3D laser scanning, hardware is critical to success! Join us on May 9 to learn about 3D laser scanners and how to optimize their use in CAD workflows!

Today’s ultrahigh-speed laser scanners can shorten CAD workflows through increased data-collection speeds and accuracy. Selecting the right scanner, field workflow, and data resolutions will make for a smooth transition through the registration and data mining processes. In this webinar you’ll get a first-hand look at how today’s scanning technology is improving workflows for:

Civil/Survey applications
Building information modeling (BIM)
Plant design

In each instance we will look at a holistic workflow approach for each example focusing on the importance of proper data collection.

Attendees will also see first-hand Leica Geosystems’ latest break-through, the Leica ScanStation P20 3D Laser Scanner. This compact ScanStation brings unprecedented data quality at range (120m max), plus outstanding environmental capabilities, survey-grade tilt compensation, and an industry first "Check & Adjust" capability that enables users to electronically tune instrument accuracy to ensure the highest level of performance without having to send it to the factory or service center.

Today’s powerful point-cloud processing software is only as good as the data you feed it.
Join us on Thursday, May 9 at 1pm EST for a great discussion, advice, and examples of how to use today’s 3D laser scanning hardware to your advantage. Register here now.
