EQUIPMENT DETAILS

The Leica BLK2GO is a handheld imaging laser scanner designed for mobile reality capture and rapid creation of 3D digital twins. The system combines LiDAR, advanced SLAM positioning technology and a multi-camera vision system to capture accurate point cloud data while the user walks through an environment.

Using Leica’s GrandSLAM technology, the BLK2GO integrates LiDAR SLAM, Visual SLAM and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to determine its position in space and continuously map surrounding geometry. This enables fast and uninterrupted scanning of complex indoor and outdoor environments.

The scanner captures up to 420,000 points per second and produces detailed point clouds in real time. A 12-megapixel detail camera and three panoramic cameras capture imagery used for navigation, colorization of point clouds and panoramic visualization.

The lightweight handheld device weighs approximately 775 grams including battery and allows users to move freely through spaces without the need for tripods or static setups.

BLK2GO integrates with Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 software and other point cloud processing platforms, enabling professionals to create BIM models, floor plans, digital twins and visualization datasets for architecture, engineering, construction, media production and facility management.
