Rugged LiDAR Scanner for Underground Mining

At a glance:

GeoSight chose Design 1st to help develop an ultra-rugged 2.5 inch diameter watertight LiDAR Scanner that could pass 100m down mining boreholes to examine and log the hole periphery for a variety of reasons.

3D concept rendering — 3D Rendering of Product with camera exploring 90 degrees from bore hole direction to enable investgation of voids and caverns underground

We were fortunate Design 1st had experience in outdoor products and Geotechnical probes. They were up to speed on the key mechanical challenges in a few hours of discussion and identified plausible low-risk solutions quickly to guide the choice of engine ring direction to focus on.
