LEICA RTC SERIES · AGILE ENTRY

Leica RTC300 3D Laser Scanner

The Leica RTC300 is the agile entry point to the RTC series — the practical way onto Leica's connected reality-capture platform without giving up the accuracy the name is built on. It captures up to one million points per second to 85 meters, and pairs high-speed capture with the same trusted Leica precision and real-time workflow found across the line. It's built for building construction, BIM, and general surveying, with a clear path from single-scanner work to scalable, connected operations.

Agile Capture for Fast-Moving Projects

With up to 1,000,000 points per second and an 85-meter range, the RTC300 completes a full-dome scan with HDR imagery in roughly 2 minutes 30 seconds — fast enough to keep pace with active construction sites and BIM documentation where the environment changes daily. It's the model for teams that want to move quickly and revisit less.

Trusted Leica Accuracy at a Practical Entry Point

The RTC300 shares the platform's core data quality — 1.2 mm + 10 ppm range accuracy, 10″ angular accuracy, and high-dynamic time-of-flight with Waveform Digitising — so baseline results hold whether you own the entry model or the flagship. Automatic self-calibration keeps every scan dependable without targets or manual steps.

A Practical Path to Scale

The RTC300 lets teams leverage most of the RTC series' features at an accessible starting point, including basic resection survey workflows through Cyclone FIELD 360. As project demands grow, you stay on the same platform, software, and workflow — so moving up to a higher-performance model later doesn't mean relearning how you work.

Connected from Field to Office

Livelink in Cyclone FIELD 360 and Hexagon GeoCloud connects crews and office teams in real time. Coverage is verified while the crew is still on site, cutting return trips and keeping deliverables on track. Register and finalize in Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS with full reporting.

How the RTC300 Compares

The RTC300 is the entry to the series — the same trusted platform and workflow, tuned for agile close-to-mid-range work and a practical starting investment.

RTC300 RTC500 RTC700
Max range 85 m 130 m 270 m
Scan speed 1M pts/s 2M pts/s 2M pts/s
Finest resolution 3 mm @ 10 m 3 mm @ 10 m 1.6 mm; Area Scan 0.8 mm
Survey suite Resection Resection Full (traverse, backsight, +)
Best for Construction, BIM Mixed / mid-range Plant, infrastructure, survey

Need more range or faster capture as you grow? Compare the RTC500 and RTC700 — you'll stay on the same platform and workflow either way.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Leica RTC300 is the entry model in Leica's RTC series. It captures up to one million points per second to 85 meters and shares the platform's trusted accuracy and connected workflow — built for building construction, BIM, and general surveying.

  • The RTC300 has a maximum range of 85 meters, with a minimum range of 0.5 meters.

  • The RTC300 captures up to 1 million points per second to 85 meters, while the RTC500 and RTC700 capture up to 2 million points per second to 130 and 270 meters respectively. All three share the platform's accuracy and connected workflow; the 300 is the agile, cost-effective entry point with basic resection survey workflows.

  • Yes. The RTC300 supports basic resection survey workflows with targets from a full-dome scan through Cyclone FIELD 360, letting teams tie scans into control at an entry level.

  • Because the whole RTC series is built on one platform with shared software and workflow, teams can start with the RTC300 and move up to a higher-performance model as project demands grow — without relearning how they work. Our experts can help plan the path.
