Cygnus 3

Everything. One.

LiDAR, three true-colour cameras, RTK/PPK positioning and advanced SLAM — one integrated scanner for the sites that break ordinary workflows.

Indoor to outdoor. One walk.

Adaptive scene collection carries a single scan from interiors through GNSS-challenged zones to open sky. RTK-assisted SLAM frees you from conventional closed-loop paths and keeps positional consistency across the whole route.

Know it's good. Before you leave.

Real-time point cloud preview, live colourized visualization, a route-based accuracy heatmap and the breathing LED accuracy indicator show data quality on site — less guesswork, less rework, no missed coverage discovered back at the office.

One scan. Many deliverables.

Handheld, backpack, car-mounted or UAV-mounted in the field; then the Sat-LiDAR workflow turns one dataset into colourized point clouds, mesh models and 3DGS outputs — with wizard-based auto filtering, colourization and geo-referencing.

In detail.

Cygnus 3 is built for complex indoor, outdoor, and GNSS-challenged environments. It combines LiDAR, vision, RTK positioning, and advanced SLAM algorithms to deliver reliable 3D data for surveying, construction, infrastructure, and digital twin workflows.

Sat-LiDAR Software Workflow

From SLAM Data to Engineering Deliverables

Cygnus 3 works with Sat-LiDAR to connect field scanning, SLAM processing, correction, analysis, visualization, and deliverable preparation in one workflow. Users can move from raw scan data to engineering-ready outputs without breaking the workflow.
