UK based 4DMax, a leading company in the film, TV, visual FX and Forensic 3D data capture market has recently purchased the latest Leica High-Definition SurveyingTM (HDS) ScanStation C10 to enhance its 3D data capture services.

Duncan Lees, Co-Owner and Director, 4DMax comments: “Working across a number of markets from big Hollywood blockbuster movies such as John Carter of Mars, Captain America, X Men First Class and the new Narnia film, to major TV programmes including Monumental Challenge, Mummy Forensics and the Time Team to police forensic work, 3D data capture is core to the success of our business. Since forming the company in 2009 4DMax has grown beyond my expectations as these market begin to realise the full potential of 3D data capture.“

“We have been working with the HDS team at Leica Geosystems UK for a number of years to hire their scanning instruments but as we continue to grow, it was important for us to own a scanner to be able to fulfil our clients needs and cope with the influx of new projects both in the UK and internationally.“

Professional Land Surveyor News: Topcon DL-500 Digital Level Series With First ‘Wave-and-Read’ Technology

Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS) announced this week that they’ve released their new DL-500 digital levels series, which uses digital ‘Wave-and-Read’ Technology for the very first time. Of course we’ve had optical ‘Wave-and-Read’ technology for eons – it’s called an instrument person looking through the level while reading the rod and having the rod person “rock” the rod slowly towards and then away from the instrument to obtain the lowest, and accurate, reading. Much along these same time-honored lines, where the rod reading becomes the minimum value when vertically, the DL-500 tracks the waved rod and automatically reads the least value.
