Is there any example data, e57, truview, etc. How about the noise compared to the old blk, or to the rtc360. How does it capture data near the device (<0.5m) because there were lot of noise with the old blk360 and lot of the times it was just a hole in the dataset.

Only missing thing is a pen drive instead of cable/wifi transfer... like the rtc360.

Looks promising.

Smaller, faster, and has vis.

New one has no thermal (which is fine) and a shorter range (old-60m, new 45m).

I would also like to test to see if it still has the issue with data at close range, sucks trying to explain why the door sills are warped in the data because you forgot to filter out close data.

well i found some test data.

unfortinatelly the noise and the close range issues still there. Well somehow it needs to be cheaper then an rtc360... :D another thing is that the circle below the scanner seems huge. especially for a device like this, i don't think that the rtc has this big blank circle under it. Maybe it was just clipped during import. We will need to see it for ourself.

PS: As for the big blank circle... it is in the documentation... "Field of view 360° (horizontal) / 270° (vertical)"
it is noticable bigger then usual which is vertical 300°.

I looked at the data but for a 20k kit i expected better data. It will always be a low-end scanner.

Hi Adam,

Cheers for the data link. Do you have an example of the noise? A quick look at a 20mm slice zoomed in the indoor example shows about 3-4mm variance along the surface of a wall, which would be about +/- 2mm from the mean line.

There is some noise on the outside example, about 12mm from the mean line in the sample below was the worst I could see on brief inspection. Rest of the wall was about 5mm to mean line, but part of this could be the external concrete render rather than the scanner. Data seems quite good for a scanner in this price bracket. As you say, they wouldn't want to make it better as it would make many consider it as a viable option over the RTC360.

Looking at details like railings, again, noise level seems pretty much ok, particularly if you compare to the likes of the BLK2GO, Zeb or other handheld options.

Both samples are very small, it would be interesting to see accuracy at the units maximum range. I think this is where it would lose heavily to other static scanners.

well this is not a handheld device so this shouldn't be compared to those.

It should be compared to faro S,M series, previous blk series, or any other TLS device. The blk360 previous version strugled a lot close to the minimum measurment distance which is quite high already. And possibly that is used a lot because of the device agility. Like small interior rooms. And that is where the close range comes in, and also the 270 Vertical field of view which is pretty small for these.

each setup has its own color to distinguish them, but i kept it visible to be able to compare somewhat true wall position.

6mm_at2m.png
This makes the data ugly and hard to register correctly, because these spaces usually already hard to register, because of low amount of overlaps. And the vertical range is not helping here.
