The CR-S1 expands the company’s Capture Reality portfolio as a higher‑performance option alongside the CR‑S2. It offers increased point‑cloud density, extended scanning range, and upgraded panoramic imaging. The system is primarily intended for surveying and construction and is also well-suited for applications such as land surveying, tunnel surveying and modeling, forestry analysis, mining operations, utility mapping, and power line inspection.

“Customers are looking for flexibility and efficient workflows, and our scanning portfolio and software are designed to support these needs through simplified processes, open integrations and mixed‑fleet compatibility,” said Ron Oberlander, head of the Topcon Geomatics Platform. “With Collage serving as the central data hub supporting inputs from multiple sensors, users can obtain accurate, detailed information for decision‑making.”

Software support includes MAGNET Flow for Android and iOS devices, MAGNET Bridge for SLAM data desktop processing, and Collage Web.

Topcon Collage Web is a cloud‑based platform for fast visualization, exploration, and sharing of 3D point‑cloud data directly in a web browser. It enables users to easily view and inspect datasets while supporting efficient collaboration across projects. Through the Collage Cloud Connector desktop application, projects are seamlessly synchronized with Collage Web, allowing smooth integration with Autodesk and ClearEdge3D software. This workflow supports mixed fleets and diverse industry systems, ensuring efficient data exchange and consistent project access across desktop and cloud environments.

For added positioning accuracy, the CR‑S1 can be connected to the Topnet Live RTK GNSS corrections service.

Mounting options include backpack and front‑pack configurations for hands-free, load-bearing scanning while walking, as well as rover–pole operation. An adapter for mounting the CR-S1 on a vehicle for mobile mapping is also available.

The CR‑S1 will be showcased at Geo Week 2026, February 16–18, in Denver, Colorado. It will be available through the Topcon dealer network with training and support.
