Leica Cyclone is the best point cloud processing software on the market. This is a family of software modules that provide the widest range of technological processes for 3D laser scanning in mechanical engineering, geodesy, construction, and related fields.

For organizations that need to add point cloud data to their workflows, Leica Cyclone is the only solution capable of generating all the results they need. Unlike software from other vendors, Leica Cyclone works efficiently to meet any project requirement, bringing value to your organization.

A key component of the complete solution is the Cyclone family. Various Cyclone modules will guide the user from the beginning to the end of the technological cycle in the implementation of projects of any type involving work with point clouds.

Modules are available to enable Leica Geosystems laser scanner data acquisition operations such as line survey, backtracking, resection sighting, and Leica RTC360 scanner data reference using a visual-inertial system (VIS) to provide complex acquisition and data registration at the level of professional topographic survey. The functionality of such modules includes automation procedures that work in dialogue mode with the user and perform most of the tasks for him, and a rich set of tools for quality assurance and control, as well as setting up and analyzing survey processes.

There are other modules available to generate a wide range of outputs, from reports and maps to 3D models, movies, animations, and compact 3D data formats that can be freely shared over the Internet. These modules can be used in a variety of processes across a wide range of industries, including structural design, 3D building construction, land surveying, building information modeling, and more.

Using files in the Leica Geosystems Universal Design File (LGS) format, users can transfer digital reality data between Cyclone and any HDS-enabled software.
