It's time for Round 2 🥊 and we want you to be the judge.

This is misleading as you didn't show the time needed to set up control points for VLX scanner (or they just magically created by themselves?). TLS systems are usually accurate enough to rely on cloud to cloud only, therefore no total station needed inside. According to our estimations efficiency are roughly the same between RTC360 (cloud to cloud) vs VLX+totalstation.

Yes, SLAM systems work quickly and seem to be convenient. But in the algorithm itself there is an accumulation of errors, to compensate for them, you must have closed the loop. Any stationary scanner will give excellent accuracy and repeatability of measurements, but SLAM does not. On this small closed object, this may not be noticeable, but if the object is extended, then you will never get 2 identical point clouds. What sensors are used here, VLP-16? They have an accuracy of about 5 cm, and there can be no talk of global stitching accuracy. The RTS-360 is a great scanner, fast, accurate and compact.
