APPLICATIONS
Industries We Serve
The Leica RTC series is built for teams that need speed without giving up trust in the result. Across construction, surveying, infrastructure, industrial plants, and public safety, the RTC300, RTC500, and RTC700 turn isolated scanning into one continuous reality-capture workflow — capture fast, collaborate in real time, and deliver with confidence. Here's how the series fits the work you do.
Surveying & Geospatial
Survey-grade capture, tied to your control
For land, boundary, topographic, and as-built surveying, the RTC series pairs high-density capture with on-board survey workflows — setup over a known point, known backsight, resection, and traverse on the flagship RTC700 — so scans tie directly into project control.
Topographic and as-built surveys with millimeter-level point accuracy
Resection workflows on every model; full survey suite on the RTC700
GNSS-aware capture and real-time registration with VIS
Recommended: RTC700 for control-grade work; RTC500 for mixed survey tasks
Construction & BIM
As-builts and progress capture that keep pace with the site
Fast full-dome scans and real-time collaboration let you document existing conditions, verify installed work against the model, and track progress without slowing the trades. Data flows straight into Autodesk, Revit, and CAD/BIM tools.
As-built documentation and scan-to-BIM
Progress and quality verification against design intent
Real-time field-to-office coordination via Livelink
Recommended: RTC300 for agile site capture; RTC500 as demands grow
Architecture & MEP
Precise existing-conditions capture for design and coordination
Capture complex building interiors, facades, and MEP systems in high detail, then hand clean point clouds to design and coordination teams. HDR imaging and dense capture make congested mechanical spaces far easier to model.
Existing-conditions and renovation documentation
MEP coordination and clash-avoidance capture
Heritage and facade documentation with 72 MP HDR imagery
Recommended: RTC500 for balanced detail and reach; RTC700 for fine detail
Civil Infrastructure
Long-range capture for corridors, bridges, and structures
Roads, rail, bridges, and utility corridors demand reach. The RTC700's 270-meter range covers expansive assets in fewer setups, while multi-scanner Livelink workflows keep large crews coordinated across a single project environment.
Bridge, roadway, rail, and corridor documentation
Fewer setups and registrations over long spans
Coordinated multi-scanner capture for large sites
Recommended: RTC700 for maximum range and multi-scanner scale
Industrial Plant
High-density capture in demanding facilities
Process plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities need tight-tolerance capture in tough conditions. The RTC700's Area Scan mode resolves detail to 0.8 mm at 10 m for components and connections, while IP55 rating and a wide operating range handle the environment.
As-built plant documentation and retrofit planning
Tight-tolerance component capture with Area Scan (RTC700)
Rugged, self-calibrating capture in harsh conditions
Recommended: RTC700 for detail and range in complex plants
Public Safety & Forensics
Fast, defensible scene documentation
Crash and crime scene documentation demands speed and accuracy under pressure. Fast full-dome capture and real-time awareness get investigators the complete, measurable record they need — and off the scene sooner.
Crash and crime scene reconstruction
Fast, complete scene capture with minimal time on site
Accurate, measurable, court-ready documentation
Recommended: RTC500 for balanced speed and range on scenes
Which Model Fits Your Work?
Most teams land on a model based on the range and detail their sites demand — and because the whole series shares one platform, you can start where you are and scale later. Not sure? Tell us about your projects and we'll spec the line for you.
