Leica Announces New Education Product Program

Leica Geosystems (CA, USA) has launched a new Education Product Program (EPP), a formalised purchase program for educational institutions teaching or performing research in the area of 3D laser scanning. The program offers a new set of laser scanning products for universities, colleges, trade schools and other institutions of higher education. These products feature Leica’s 3D laser scanning technology and its Cyclone and CloudWorx software licenses. Institutions can purchase packages with up to ten additional seat licenses. The program also includes extensive training on hardware and software. In order to qualify, educational institutions must teach at least two classes per semester that incorporate 3D laser scanning in the curriculum. Institutions are also required to encourage students and professors to publish papers, to write articles and to organise and/or participate in conferences and seminars that deal with topics relating to 3D laser scanning.
