Ever wondered how to leverage your high-precision Leica scans in Matterport?

At GTEC3D, we get asked all the time: “Can I use my Leica RTC360 or BLK360 to create a Matterport tour?” The answer is a resounding YES—it’s a game-changer for combining millimeter-level accuracy with immersive virtual walkthroughs.

Whether you're capturing complex MEP layouts or large-scale industrial sites, importing your data into Matterport gives your clients the best of both worlds.

Here’s the quick “How-To”:
Importing Data: For the RTC360, you’ll need to export your registered scan data as an .E57 file and upload it through Matterport’s E57 (Beta) import workflow. Direct 360° image import is not supported for RTC360 scans.

Pro Tip: Use Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 for on-site registration first to ensure your dataset is clean, aligned, and ready for a smooth E57 upload.

Rapid Response: 3D Laser Scanning in Charlotte, NC
Sometimes, a project simply can’t wait. At GTEC3D, we pride ourselves on rapid mobilization to meet critical deadlines—even when it involves a last-minute flight and a next-day deliverable. Our most recent mission took us to

Charlotte, North Carolina, where we executed a high-stakes capture to provide a digital foundation for a time-sensitive project.

GTEC3D delivered a survey-grade digital twin in Charlotte on a last-minute call. Learn how our RTC360 E57 workflow creates an incredibly accurate Matterport site.

Building a family business means that the lines between work and home often blur, but today was a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do at GTEC3D.
Our daughter, Momoko, had her "show and tell" at her Japanese Tea lessons at Richmond Elementary. She decided to share the story of our business with her classmates, and seeing her represent GTEC3D with such pride—all while showing off her growing Nihongo skills—was a truly special moment.
As a small business owner, I’m frequently on the road, and I often feel the pull of missing these milestones. Being able to pause and witness her growth firsthand today made every mile worth it.
Thank you to the Richmond Elementary community for supporting our kids as they learn both culture and the value of hard work!

Why Choose GTEC3D for Laser Scanning?

1. High-Accuracy Reality Capture
Our laser scanners capture existing conditions with exceptional precision, reducing measurement errors, RFIs, and design conflicts.

2. Complete As-Built Documentation
Unlike manual measuring, laser scanning records everything—structural elements, MEP systems, architectural features, and more.

3. Faster Project Timelines
What can take days using tape measures can often be completed in hours with 3D laser scanning, accelerating project kickoff and decision-making.

4. Improved Safety
Laser scanning eliminates the need for ladders, lifts, or confined-space entry, keeping your team safe while collecting better data.

5. BIM & CAD Compatibility
GTEC3D delivers scan data compatible with BIM modeling, CAD workflows, and clash detection, ensuring seamless collaboration across disciplines.

6. Reduced Rework and Construction Costs
Accurate laser scan data minimizes surprises during construction, helping teams avoid costly change orders and delays.

GTEC3D provides professional 3D laser scanning services for construction, BIM, and as-built documentation. Faster, safer, and more accurate than tape measuring.
