The smart way to map and understand spaces
We live in a data driven world. Our lives are full of data, and each day we create more. The team at GeoSLAM knew there had to be a way to digitalise 3D data capture, but make it faster, easier, and make it possible to scan places that would have been impossible to scan before. The old tools were blunt.
GeoSLAM brought mobile 3D data capture to market in 2013 in a joint venture with CSIRO with the launch of the ZEB1, the first handheld SLAM scanner powered by a smart algorithm that continues to develop and become more intelligent each time it’s used.

It’s not just capturing the data, it’s what you do with it
So, you’ve captured some data, now what? 3D geospatial data doesn’t end at the point cloud. The data you’ve captured is only useful if you can learn something from it – take measurements, use it for planning, understanding or build it into a workflow where the possibilities are endless – BIM, As-built, restoration, 3D meshes, making mines safer, research and education. The list goes on. GeoSLAM data can be exported in industry standard file formats, so if you want to use your data as part of a workflow, however simple or complex, you can.
Why customers choose GeoSLAM
Once you’ve captured your data, you probably want to use it, store it and share it between locations, people and teams. Now you can, with GeoSLAM Connect, our smart data platform. Hours and hours spent processing data are over.
You can read more about SLAM, how it works (and what makes it great) here. The SLAM used by GeoSLAM is unique, the most commercially successful on the market and is constantly learning and improving over time. Our SLAM, known as GeoSLAM Beam, is trusted by some of the world’s greatest and largest companies, and we think you’ll like it too. GeoSLAM’s CT SLAM was developed with CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. Their portfolio of achievements (as well as creating our CT SLAM) is inventing Wi-Fi, the plastic banknote and long wear contact lenses.
GeoSLAM is made for users. Light weight, easy to use and comes with automatic data processing. Training takes minutes. You won’t get stuck on stairs or walking under doorways either.
You can own a GeoSLAM product for less than you might think. Plus, some products can be bought with the GeoSLAM Payment Plan to spread the cost, making it affordable for businesses of all sizes and turnovers.
Each ZEB sold comes with at least one year of GeoSLAM Care. That entitles you to unlimited after sales support from our team of engineers and software updates. You’ll also get three years of free hardware warranty, if you remain in a GeoSLAM Care contract.
From skyscrapers to dense jungle, to deep underground mines, GeoSLAM doesn’t rely on GPS to know where it is. That means you aren’t restricted where you can capture data unlike more traditional ways, where you’re tethered to a tripod or bulky equipment.
