Complete Portfolio

At the core of Trimble’s 3D laser scanning portfolio is exceptional technology providing superior accuracy and range for basic to challenging scanning environments.

Trimble’s advanced software and scanning solutions give you the power to quickly capture, analyze, model, and deliver:

  • Unmatched productivity in the field and office
  • High quality, low noise data to reduce processing time
  • Automatic registration you can trust
  • Easy, streamlined user workflows
  • Reliability in demanding environments
  • Versatility to support a wide range of applications
  • Powerful software to produce dynamic deliverables
Create data you can trust

In the field

The Trimble X7 solution is fully integrated with the new Trimble Perspective software specifically designed for in-field control and complete registration. The combination enables scans and images to be captured, fully registered together, refined, controlled and exported to a variety of established data format for Trimble and non-Trimble software suites.

Combined with Trimble Access field software, the SX12 efficiently and reliably collects the most complete datasets from the field. Trimble Access keeps things simple by allowing you to combine optical, scanning, GNSS data and images all in one job.

  • Measure the desired level of detail
  • Integrated survey workflows
  • Efficient data management within any geodetic coordinate system library
Streamline your workflow

In the Office

Trimble Business Center lets you fully integrate scan data into your projects using the familiar workflows of the market leading survey office software. Enhanced point cloud management, automated extraction and interoperability, and CAD and GIS packages producing deliverables to satisfy your toughest client demands.

Trimble RealWorks® is state-of-the-art office software for registering, visualizing, exploring and manipulating as-built or scene point cloud data collected with virtually any laser scanner. Efficiently manage, process, and analyze large data sets with confidence and transform them into compelling 2D and 3D deliverables. RealWorks is easy to use, as the interface guides you through each tool step by step to ensure you reach your objectives.

Increase safety, produce superior results

With your customer

Import profiles and geometric primitives from a CAD design file or export graphic files in .dxf or .dgn format. Print inspection results using the RealWorks integrated print-out interface to share and deliver the detailed and insightful information your clients need.

  • Export data for use in popular CAD software
  • Use Publisher to freely share projects via Internet Explorer and Trimble Scan Explorer
  • Use Trimble Clarity, a browser-based viewer for point cloud and 3D model data, to share projects and progress updates to your team or your clients, allowing them to interact with the data without having to have 3rd party software installed on their computer.

Customer Stories

Trimble X7 streamlines field workflows and reduces office processing

A Danish surveying consultancy won a bid to scan thousands of housing flats. The firm knew that traditional scanning workflows would not be time-efficient, so used the Trimble X7 to develop 3D models that saved hundreds of hours and reduced site visits.

Datasets

Electrical Substation Survey

A small traverse was surveyed with a Trimble SX10. Images and scans of an electrical substation were collected at each station. The data was classified and a surface model of the ground was generated in Trimble Business Center (TBC). A contour map of the surface was created.
