Leica RTC Series laser scanners

The performance behind faster field-to-deliverable workflows.

Speed and accuracy, with confidence.
Leica RTC laser scanners are the fastest and most accurate in terrestrial laser scanning, offering up to 3.5x faster capture and more than 35% greater accuracy than the closest competitor. Scanning up to 2,000,000 points
per second, and with a range of up to 270 metres, IP55-rated robustness, and automatic self-calibration, RTCs give surveyors, engineers, and construction teams the
right scanner for every project.

Connected workflow intelligence.

The Leica RTC series connects capture, collaboration, and delivery into one continuous workflow, so teams can make decisions while work is still unfolding. Livelink connectivity
in Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 shares data in real time between field and office. VIS technology auto-registers scans on site. From single-scanner setups to coordinated
multi-scanner operations, RTC’s workflow intelligence scales with your projects for ultimate performance.
