An Easy Entry Into the 3D World: Leica Geosystems Launches High Performance Entry-Level Laser Scanner

Norcross, GA, April 9, 2014 – Leica Geosystems has announced the launch of its latest versatile 3D laser scanner, the Leica ScanStation P15. Combining high performance scanning with a user-friendly interface, the Leica ScanStation P15 is the ideal entry into the world of 3D laser scanning.

Businesses can benefit significantly by offering 3D scanning presentations to customers. Laser scanning provides clients with clear and realistic visualizations that are easy to understand, enabling them to make better decisions faster.

High performance with a simple workflow
Suitable for a wide range of non-surveying applications, including interior and short-range uses, the latest model offers a simplified user interface and optimized workflow, with no prior surveying knowledge or training required for operation. The ScanStation P15 is reliable, robust and suitable for a range of environmental conditions and delivers high-quality data fast.

Based on the advanced ScanStation P20, Leica Geosystems’ ScanStation P15 offers the same high performance 3D scanning technology with high measurement speed and accuracy up to 40 meters (131 feet) at an optimized price point. The ScanStation P15 can capture entire scenes within minutes and create highly detailed scans with overlaid images of the real 3D world, bringing added value to end users.

Commenting on the latest product, Jürgen Mayer, HDS program director at Leica Geosystems, reports, “Traditionally, the perceived complexity of scanning has been a barrier to customers looking for an easy route into the 3D world. The new Leica ScanStation P15, however, is designed to be an accessible, trusted entry-level product, combining quality with simplicity, and no specialist surveying knowledge necessary.”

Simple upgrade to an advanced 3D laser scanner
The new scanner from Leica Geosystems is designed to complement existing scanning products with its high quality, short-range function. In order to achieve the advanced functionality of the ScanStation P20, upgrades will be made available in authorized Leica Geosystems technical service centers.
