Leica wins awards

Heerbrugg SG – Precision device manufacturer Leica Geosystems has earned multiple prestigious awards for its BLK3D measurement solution. This is an industry-first product that displays in-picture 3D measurements in real time.

Leica Geosystems developed BLK3D for use by professionals across a range of industries, including architecture, construction, public safety and real estate. The small device is about the size of a smartphone and can be used to take photos of buildings, for example. It creates images that contain precise three-dimensional measurements for all measurable components on the captured photo.

According to a press release from the precision device manufacturer based in the St.GallenBodenseeArea, BLK3D has been recognised with multiple prestigious global design and innovation awards. These include the Innovation Award presented at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the BAKA Award for Product Innovation 2019 at the international construction trade fair BAU in Munich, the 2018 Good Design Award and the Wichmann Innovation Award. Leica Geosystems has also been selected as a finalist for the Prism Awards 2019.

Leica has been selling the new product since December. Customers receive the BLK3D imager and the relevant software.
