TLC 3D Cap

Survey

Cost-Effective 3D Field Data Collection from a Handheld Laser

TLC 3D Cap is an easy-to-use field data collection solution that transforms a handheld laser rangefinder into a powerful 3D measurement system. Designed for surveyors, engineers, and field professionals, 3D Cap makes it easy to capture accurate spatial data, including inaccessible or hard-to-reach points, without the cost of traditional scanning equipment.

Pair a compatible Bluetooth laser rangefinder with a Windows or Android device, start a survey, and capture points in full 3D. Add a known station coordinate to georeference the survey and produce field-ready 3D data for downstream workflows.

Simple Field-to-Data Workflow

A streamlined four-step process gets you from setup to georeferenced 3D data quickly.

  • Pair your Bluetooth laser rangefinder with your Windows or Android device
  • Start a new survey within 3D Cap
  • Capture points of interest, including inaccessible or hard-to-reach targets
  • Add a known station coordinate to georeference your dataset

3D Data Collection

Record accurate 3D coordinates in the field using a handheld laser rangefinder.

  • Automatically records horizontal angle, vertical angle, and distance
  • Captures full 3D coordinates with each laser shot
  • Designed for inaccessible and hard-to-reach points
  • Fast, lightweight workflow with minimal setup

Georeferencing

Tie collected field data to real-world coordinates for use in downstream surveying and engineering workflows.

  • Add a known station coordinate to georeference the survey
  • Transform collected points into a georeferenced 3D dataset
  • Compatible with standard field-to-finish workflows

Windows and Android Support

3D Cap runs on devices your team already uses, providing flexibility between desktop and mobile field workflows.

  • Compatible with Windows desktops and laptops
  • Compatible with Android tablets and smartphones
  • Bluetooth laser pairing supported on both platforms

How TLC 3D Cap Fits Into Your Workflow

Use TLC 3D Cap to quickly collect 3D field data on structures, terrain, and inaccessible features using a handheld laser rangefinder. From initial pairing through georeferenced output, 3D Cap provides a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution for professionals who need accurate spatial data without investing in expensive scanning equipment.
