Maptek's journey with laser survey technology began over 25 years ago. Initially focused on point cloud modelling, they quickly expanded to develop hardware offering a complete field-to-finish workflow for surveyors.
Today, Maptek provides diverse laser survey systems globally, including mobile monitoring units, all developed and manufactured in South Australia alongside the software. This ensures their technology meets customer needs for seamless deployment and use.
Maptek Sentry has played a critical role in safely reopening a commercial highway in Canada after a landslide. Mining contractors Thiess also use Maptek long-range laser scanning systems and PointStudio for open pit surveys in Indonesia.
Software releases for the first half of 2025 include enhanced design, drill and blast, and scheduling functionality. GeologyCore 2025 offers a more extensive range of modelling techniques, with machine learning DomainMCF available as an add-on.
Partnerships with universities support undergraduate programs, setting graduates up for successful mining careers.
