BLK 2GO
Leica's portable laser scanner BLK2GO: Just a pretty design?
Der BLK2GO stellt eine interessante Option im Bereich mobiler 3D-Laserscanner dar, doch es gibt einige Aspekte, die kritisch zu betrachten sind, insbesondere wenn man die Anforderungen spezifischer Einsatzbereiche und den Preis des Geräts in Betracht zieht.
Although the scanner offers a range of up to 25 meters, this may be limiting for certain outdoor applications or larger scanning projects. Its accuracy, which is in the centimeter range, may be sufficient for rough overviews and preliminary measurements, but will reach its limits when it comes to precision requirements such as those found in civil engineering or high-precision historic preservation.
When it comes to SLAM tracking, the BLK2GO doesn't always perform as well as stationary systems, meaning compromises must be made for applications requiring the highest possible precision. While the scan rate of 420,000 points per second seems impressive, it may be considered insufficient when compared directly with fixed devices or more powerful handheld alternatives.
A significant drawback of the BLK2GO is its battery life of only 45 minutes. For more comprehensive scans or all-day use in changing environments, this could be a significant limitation, necessitating frequent charging or an external power supply.
While the device's weight of 770 grams is beneficial for mobility, combined with the short battery life and mediocre scan rate, it could raise questions about the scanner's overall value.
While integration into the BLK Live app offers added value, the dependence on an additional software solution for data collection and analysis could be a hurdle for some users.
At a price of approximately €48,000, the BLK2GO faces competition from alternative products that may offer better value for money, especially for professional users who require complete and precise documentation.
In summary , while the BLK2GO can certainly provide useful services for mobile 3D scanning tasks, it leaves something to be desired in some professional contexts, particularly in terms of accuracy, battery life, and price. Interested parties should therefore carefully consider their specific requirements and, if necessary, evaluate the scanner's suitability in a trial phase.
