Terrestrial Laser Scanners

Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) or 3D Laser Scanners are advanced surveying instruments used to capture precise, three-dimensional measurements of an object's surface or a geographical area. These devices are a critical tool in GIS (Geographic Information Systems), engineering, and other fields requiring precise spatial data.

Trimble Terrestrial 3D Laser Scanning and Imaging Systems are used to capture precise, high-resolution, three-dimensional spatial data of real-world environments. These systems serve various industries, including construction, engineering, architecture, forensics, and geospatial analysis.

Key Features:

  • 3D Data Capture: Uses laser technology to scan objects, buildings, or landscapes, creating detailed 3D point clouds.
  • High Accuracy: Provides precise measurements with minimal error, crucial for engineering and design applications.
  • Imaging Capabilities: Combines scanning with high-resolution imaging, enabling colorized point clouds for better visualization and analysis.
  • Fast Data Collection: Scans large areas quickly, making it time-efficient compared to traditional surveying methods.

Common Applications:

  • Surveying and Mapping: Generates detailed topographic maps and digital twins of environments.
  • Construction: Monitors progress, quality control, and as-built documentation.
  • Architecture and Design: Assists in creating accurate 3D models of structures for renovation or preservation.
  • Forensics: Captures crime scenes or accident sites for investigation and legal purposes.
  • Infrastructure Inspection: Monitors the condition of bridges, tunnels, and other critical infrastructure.

Cansel offers the best terrestrial scanning solutions in the industry. Depending on your application, we have the hardware and software purpose-built to complete the task.


FARO (Architectural, Engineering, and Construction)

As buildings become more complex, engineers, builders and owners increasingly rely on as-built design plans to ensure the accuracy of renovation plans and ongoing facility management. You know you need data and models that accurately reflect existing structures so you should trust the FARO Focus scanners and FARO’s A-Built software to capture facility updates, expansions, renovation solutions and overall management for the life of a building. For Industrial facility management, infrastructure and civil engineering design and Building Information Modeling (BIM), FARO is the tool for you.



FARO Focus Scanner on the field


FARO Focus Premium scanners create accurate, complete and photorealistic 3D representations of any environment or object in just a few minutes. Focus Premium is easy to operate and offers built-in protection from dirt, dust, fog, rain and heat/cold.

And, for the best on-site data capture, Focus Premium connects with the new FARO Stream app, bridging FARO hardware to the FARO Sphere cloud environment. Pre-registration scans are fed directly into the cloud, so jobs can be done more efficiently — feedback is captured and processed as you work.

Combined with FARO’s companion products — Sphere and the Stream app — Focus Premium delivers better data faster. It enables reduced time in the field while streamlining efficiencies to meet the demands of today’s increasingly remote, digital workforce.
