Leica Geosystems delivered Canada's first Leica HDS6000 high-definition scanner to Point Geomatics, a laser-scanning service company based in Calgary, Alberta. The sale not only marks the next-generation scanner's first foray into Canada, it's a significant testament to the steadily growing high-definition laser-scanning movement in Canada.
"Delivering the HDS6000 to Point Geomatics is very exciting for us because this new technology stands to usher in a whole new era in the laser scanning business," said Peter Hettstedt, Vice President and General Manager of Leica Geosystems Canada. "Point Geomatics is one of the premier laser scanner service providers in Canada. We're very proud that they've selected Leica Geosystems for their equipment needs and we hope to continue our strong working relationship for many years to come."
