Compact, high-speed 3D laser scanning with HDR imaging and automatic scan alignment for accurate reality capture, as-built surveys, and Scan-to-BIM applications.

The Leica BLK360 Imaging Laser Scanner combines high-speed 3D laser scanning, precision measurement, and HDR imaging in a compact, portable design. With scanning speeds of up to 680,000 points per second, it captures detailed 3D point clouds and spherical images in as little as 20 seconds under specified scan settings. Its integrated Visual Inertial System (VIS) automatically pre-aligns scans on-site, reducing manual work and improving field efficiency.

Designed for professionals in architecture, engineering, construction (AEC), and reality capture, the Leica BLK360 supports as-built surveys, Scan-to-BIM, building documentation, and digital twin workflows, as well as VFX and virtual reality applications. Seamless integration with Leica Cyclone software enables efficient scan registration, point cloud processing, and the creation of accurate 3D deliverables.

• Ultra-Fast 3D Laser Scanning: Capture detailed 3D point clouds at up to 680,000 points per second, with four scan settings offering capture times of approximately 7, 13, 30, or 75 seconds.
• High-Dynamic Range (HDR) Imaging: Integrated cameras with 5-bracket HDR capture rich, detailed imagery for realistic, colorized 3D point clouds.
• Compact and Lightweight Design: Weighing just 850 g with battery and measuring 155 × 80 mm, the Leica BLK360 offers exceptional portability for indoor and outdoor reality capture.
• Rapid Full-Dome Scanning: Complete a full-dome 3D scan with panoramic imagery in approximately 20 seconds at specified scan settings, accelerating on-site data collection.
• Automatic Scan Alignment with VIS: Built-in Visual Inertial System (VIS) technology automatically pre-aligns scans in the field, simplifying registration and improving scanning efficiency.
• High-Speed Data Transfer: Transfer laser scanning data efficiently through USB-C and Wi-Fi connectivity for streamlined point cloud processing and digital workflows.

The Leica BLK360 Imaging Laser Scanner integrates with Leica Geosystems’ reality capture software to streamline 3D laser scanning, scan registration, and point cloud processing. With Leica Cyclone FIELD 360, users can control the scanner from a smartphone or tablet, visualize captured data, and use Visual Inertial System (VIS) technology for automatic scan pre-registration in the field.

For office-based processing, Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS and Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS (BLK Edition) provide efficient workflows for scan alignment, registration, visualization, and point cloud management. Support for formats such as E57, RCP, and LGS enables integration with CAD, BIM, and other 3D modelling applications, supporting as-built documentation and Scan-to-BIM workflows.

The free BLK Live app, available for iOS and Android, provides scanner control, immediate scan visualization, on-site quality checks, and export of unregistered E57 point clouds. For cloud-based collaboration, Hexagon GeoCloud enables teams to share, visualize, and process reality capture data, improving collaboration between field and office teams.

The Leica BLK360 features four 13-megapixel cameras with 5-bracket High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging to capture detailed spherical panoramas, even in challenging lighting conditions. This produces realistic, colourised 3D point clouds for building documentation, architectural surveys, and immersive reality capture applications.

Leica Geosystems’ patented Visual Inertial System (VIS) automatically pre-aligns consecutive 3D laser scans in the field by tracking scanner movement between setups. This reduces manual registration work, streamlines point cloud processing, and improves efficiency for as-built surveys, construction documentation, and Scan-to-BIM workflows.

The Leica BLK360 integrates advanced LiDAR technology to capture up to 680,000 points per second, delivering detailed 3D measurements with a scanning range of up to 45 metres. A complete full-dome scan with spherical LDR imagery takes under 20 seconds at the specified resolution setting, enabling efficient reality capture across complex project environments.

Transfer Leica BLK360 laser scanning data efficiently through USB-C or Wi-Fi connectivity. Wireless communication supports field data synchronisation, while USB-C provides a fast, stable connection for transferring captured point clouds to compatible processing software, helping streamline the workflow from site scanning to final 3D deliverables.

The Leica BLK360 integrates with Hexagon GeoCloud, formerly Reality Cloud Studio, to support cloud-based visualisation, processing, and collaboration. Teams can securely share reality capture data, access 3D point clouds, perform measurements, and collaborate on digital project information, supporting construction documentation, Scan-to-BIM, and digital twin workflows.

Take control of your Leica BLK360 Imaging Laser Scanner with the Cyclone FIELD 360 mobile app, available for iOS and Android. Capture, visualise, and pre-register 3D laser scans directly on-site, verify collected data, and improve field-to-office workflows.

The app is free to download, but activation requires an eligible Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS or REGISTER 360 PLUS (BLK Edition) licence.
