MAYSVILLE, KY, USA, May 8, 2023 – Carlson Software announced the release of its accurate 3D handheld scanning solution, Scan3D. Utilizing an Intel RealSense stereo camera on Carlson’s RT5 or RTk5 rugged tablets, Scan3D adds a new tool to the truck for surveyors, engineers, construction professionals, accident reconstruction specialists, and anyone else needing instant, mobile 3D scanning of rooms, spaces, equipment, and much more.
Scan3D is capable of precise measurements of distance, area, and volume, as well as direct, color 3D point cloud export in DP, E57, RCS, LAS, LAZ, and other formats.
The Scan3D solution relies solely on local processing, meaning no cloud processing or internet connection is required to scan or create a finished point cloud. These resulting point clouds can be merged with larger scale clouds from sources such as terrestrial laser scanners, aerial LiDAR, or aerial photogrammetry to create a single model with accurate coverage of areas that no single device could produce.
