APPLICATIONS

Which vehicles can we mount it to?

Alpha3D can be easily mounted on a variety of platforms, including different types of vehicles, trains, railway trolleys, boats, etc. This is possible because the client can use additional telescopic extensions and power the unit from an internal battery or directly from vehicle power.

What about software?

Well, with Alpha3D we offer CoCapture Software for data acquisition and the CoProcess package to process results. Data can also be exported to other formats and used in clients own software. Export formats include LAS and PTS to name a few.

 

Where can the Alpha3D be used?
