Cyclone MODEL

Standalone 3D modelling software for analysing & converting rich, laser scan data

Unmatched versatility and performance help make Leica Cyclone MODEL the industry’s most popular standalone software for analysing rich, laser scan data and converting the data into deliverables.

Among its advantages, Cyclone MODEL boasts powerful visualisation and point cloud navigation plus the industry’s most complete tool set. These tools cover a wide range of applications in engineering, construction, asset management, heritage, forensics, and other areas.

Cyclone MODEL provides unmatched office productivity, automating many time-consuming tasks and even letting multiple users work on the same data sets simultaneously – thanks to Cyclone’s Object/Database foundation. Finally, Cyclone MODEL reflects the data quality & accuracy-consciousness advantages that users worldwide expect from Leica Geosystems.
