Leica HDS3000
Versatile, high-accuracy
3D laser scanner
Leica Geosystems HDS versatile, high-
accuracy, long-range 3D laser scanner
Leica HDS3000 sets the standard
With a familiar survey instrument feel, including a 360 x 270
field-of-view, the Leica HDS3000 sets the standard for
versatile, high-accuracy laser scanners. Since it was
introduced, the Leica HDS3000 has become the industrys
most popular laser scanner for both demanding and
everyday as-built and topographic surveys.
Mission-critical data
Leica HDS300s high-accuracy, low-noise scan data combined
with its narrow beam and ultra-fine scanning have made it the
preferred choice for mission-critical projects when it has to
be right.
Versatility and productivity
Leica HDS3000s integration of high accuracy, excellent useful
range, full field-of-view, and robotic operation into a single
scanner results in significantly reduced as-built survey costs for
a wide range of everyday projects.
Powerful visualization
With an integrated high-resolution camera and the option to
use external digital cameras, the Leica HDS3000s 3D laser
scans provide users with powerful site visualization
capabilities.
The right tool for the job
Fully complementary with traditional surveying methods,
the Leica HDS3000 delivers significant benefits for civil, plant,
architectural and related projects.
