The cost was one of them. The unit itself is quite expensive. You could buy ~3 FARO scanners for the same price if I recall correctly. They do have a decent pricing payment model though.dyslex wrote:Thank you for the great information, this trolley looks interesting. I'll have to do a little more research on it. What sort of advantages/disadvantages (besides accuracy) does this sort of scanner have against something like the FARO tripod scanners?evanmcpheeNavVis wrote:NavVis makes a mobile LiDAR scanning trolley (http://www.navvis.com/products/m3-trolley/) that allows operators to capture point clouds and images in indoor spaces at up to 500,000 sq ft per day.
If you need ~13mm or better accuracy (such as for clash detection), you should use a tripod-based HDS scanner. However, if you need to scan larger spaces (and don’t need <13mm accuracy), you should take a look at mobile indoor mappers.
BMW, Siemens, and several others use our ‘IndoorViewer’ to help them manage and streamline their facilities and operations. Here’s a demo of our software in an industrial workshop in Munich: https://demo01.navvis.com/iv/#?image=46 ... &fov=100.0
My contact information is [email protected] if we can help.
I do have the spec sheet attached for the Navvis M3 Trolley available for those who want to see it.
