Product Information

The tool is powered by a rechargeable battery and can be connected to an app for downloading measurements via Bluetooth. The MEAZOR 3D Laser Measurer is a versatile and accurate measuring tool that provides 3D displacement and complex and multiple-room plan scanning. Specially designed to raise productivity for Interior Designers, Architects, Interior Decorators, Industrial designers, Etc. Pro-Laser Pythagorean – This mode only works for right triangles (where one angle is 90 degrees) and this would be most useful for a vertical measurement like a wall or fence that is difficult to access. It’s a costly piece of kit that will limit its take-up to professionals and only the most dedicated hobbyists.

Still, the promise of smart devices is that the software can be updated to improve them, and it wouldn't be hard to make the user interface and functionality much easier to use. However, there are several issues with the other modes of operation, such as a level mode that requires calibration to a level surface, and a Pythagorean mode that isn’t well suited to a vertical measurement. Whether using 3D floorplans for professional use or daily handiwork, the MEAZOR 3D brings a new level of convenience for gaining measurements and planning the use of spaces. The trick is to realize that you are mapping discrete points, so you rotate the device till the laser is pointed at a corner, then touch the screen, then rotate to the next corner and touch again, etc … This gives a pretty rough map of a room.

And it's offering some kind of 3D features - sounds like it's identified the wrong product or firmware - I declined, as it seems like an opportunity to brick the thing. Secondly, most architects, engineers, or builders would not need to do this because most drawings have dimensions. With its ability to provide 2D floor plan scanning, scale/rolling ruler, and laser distance measuring, it offers a comprehensive measuring solution.

Sadly, while you can scan a curved wall, you can't really use it for scanning objects: you have to move the Meazor rather than what you're measuring, and you only get a single profile line where the laser measures, not a full 3D profile. Making sure the Bluetooth on your phone is on, select the the three bars icon in the upper left corner of the screen, and select the gear symbol to open settings. Since the imported lines are not perfectly straight due to measurement inaccuracies, I’d use AutoCAD to modify the lines, or use the scan lines as a template to develop the drawing.We tried again and somehow ended up with four doors on the floorplan, so this is a function that will need practice. For instance, one wall was actually 124-15/16″ long, and the calculation in the app stated this was 124. The room scanner is also a nice feature that isn’t in the Bosch, and the ability to scan the room and download the plan is also something that the Bosch doesn’t do. REVIEW – I previously had the opportunity (several years ago) to review the Bosch GLM 50 C laser measuring tool. Level – This mode works well, although you have to start by placing it on a level surface to calibrate it.

The one other benefit of this mode is that it uses the rolling wheel to take the measurement, so if you set the scaling ratio to 1:1, then it will just report the length based on how far you rolled the device. Our favourite tool was the spirit level, which is extremely accurate and gives you a reading both side to side and front to back without needing to flip the device round.

Select connect to a device, then go into your Bluetooth settings and find the MEAZOR and allow it to pair. You can scan two sides of a rectangle or triangle and get the area or the length of the third side: confusingly that's labelled Pro Scanner. Based on testing, measurement accuracy can be increased by 72% and time efficiency improved by 70% on average when using MEAZOR 3D compared to other traditional measuring tools. dxf (AutoCAD) file, so it is possible to utilize these scans to develop an architectural or engineering drawing outside of the app.

You also need a very steady hand: make sure the device is on a tripod for this and even then, the measurements aren't accurate enough to use for precision work. Along with the product, the MEAZOR 3D lifetime free app improved to the newest version and enables to share and export three different types of CAD files seamlessly.Being able to use the foldable stand was a nice benefit, especially for vertical measurements because the device is stable and will stand up that way without the need to hold it in place, as long as the surface is flat. But considering that it might be time for an upgrade, I jumped at the chance to try the MEAZOR 6-In-1 Compact Laser Measure tool made by Hozo Design.
