XGRIDS Lixel L3
Lixel L3
Handheld LiDAR Scanning System
Accuracy Meets Photorealism
The Lixel L3 is a flagship high-accuracy spatial scanner. It holds a verified 5mm relative accuracy and photorealistic colour across large, complex sites.
A single pass with the Lixel L3 produces a true-colour point cloud, a mesh and a 3D Gaussian Splatting model — supporting precise measurement and true-to-life presentation alike. Deliverables fit directly into workflows across surveying and AEC, digital twin and film and entertainment – the real world rebuilt in digital space.
Precision Sensing, Integrated in One Instrument
The L3 fuses a high-accuracy LiDAR, a true-color vision system, an integrated RTK, and a built-in display into one unit: geometry, color, positioning, and delivery, in a single pass.

Photorealistic Colour, True to the Space
The L3’s true-colour vision system records colour, tonal range, and material detail with photographic fidelity. In low light and high contrast, where capture usually suffers, the output stays clear and identifiable.
Accurate Structure, True Colour
High-accuracy geometry and high-resolution imagery are fused, so the point cloud carries structure and colour at the same fidelity. Site conditions read at a glance, target objects are easier to identify, and measurement, modeling, and client review all work from the same data.
Highlights and Shadows, Equally Resolved
4K HDR imaging retains detail at both ends of the exposure range, so bright surfaces do not blow out and shadowed areas do not disappear. Tonal transitions stay natural across the scene.
Low Light, Still Legible
In low-light environments, the L3 produces point clouds with less noise and color shift. Less grain, fewer false colors, and a cleaner cloud going into processing.
Key Areas, Enhanced on Demand
Select specific areas for targeted enhancement, so critical zones keep more spatial detail while reconstruction time and file size stay under control.
Colour and Detail, Carried Through Every Deliverable
A single capture produces a high-accuracy true-color point cloud, a detailed mesh, and a photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting model from the same source data. Precise geometry, clean texture, and immersive realism each serve a different downstream job, so one field session empowers visualization, professional measurement, and digital twin work.
Mesh
High-quality imagery gives the mesh dense texture information, resolving material surfaces and structural lines clearly. A complete spatial base for professional modeling, asset records, and downstream 3D applications.
3D Gaussian Splatting
Built on XGRIDS’ upgraded Lixel CyberColor (LCC) technology, which carries real color, tonal range, and fine spatial detail into a photorealistic 3DGS model — for digital twins, previs, and virtual production that need to feel like the location.
True-Colour Point Cloud
Accurate geometry with natural site colour, so professional data is easier to read and faster to work with.
Complete Data, Whatever the Conditions
Across long continuous captures and through GNSS obstruction and weak texture, the L3 combines integrated RTK and multi-modal perception to keep modeling stable. Less drift, less layering, usable data from one site visit.
Urban Canyons
In dense built environments where satellite signal is blocked or reflected, the L3 keeps refining trajectory and positioning so large captures stay continuous, producing data with no misalignment, no layered floors, and an absolute accuracy of 5 cm.
Featureless and Repetitive Spaces
Where visual texture is thin, geometric features are missing, or structures repeat, positioning and mapping tend to accumulate error. L3’s stable SLAM algorithm keeps the point cloud continuous and the structure consistent, making underground and linear scenes easier to capture reliably.
Waterside Sites
Reflective water surfaces interfere with spatial solution. The L3 keeps refining the solution so bridge structures, shorelines, and surrounding geometry come through coherently, reducing data gaps and return visits on waterside projects.
Usable Point Clouds the Moment You Stop Scanning
Built on real-time Multi-SLAM processing, the L3 generates a high-quality true-color point cloud as you scan. Real-time vision-aided localization and dynamic object filtering keep the structure coherent and the data clean, ready for on-site measurement and project review the moment you stop.
Real-Time Vision-Aided Localization for Stable, Coherent Large Scenes
Real-time vision-aided localization and leveling optimization continuously correct capture trajectory and attitude, so large-scene point clouds stay level and structurally continuous. Drift and layering are minimized, reducing the cost of releveling, registering, and rescanning afterward.
AI identifies and filters people, vehicles, and environmental noise as you scan, cutting the smearing, ghosting, and redundant data that moving objects leave behind. The exported cloud needs less manual cleanup and reaches measurement, modeling, and delivery sooner.
Field Work, Made Steady
The L3 smooths out each step during the workday: on-screen guidance and hardware built for long days in the field, then flexible fusion and privacy handling in LixelStudio.

NavVis IVION
Scanning Software
Turn your site data into decisions, today
A platform that transforms high-precision reality capture data into clear, collaborative digital spaces that everyone, regardless of their role, can access, understand, and act on.
Across planning, construction, and industrial operations, teams face delays, misalignment, and budget overruns due to siloed tools, outdated drawings, and inaccessible site data. RFIs multiply, assumptions go unchecked, and rework becomes inevitable. On top of this, traditional CAD and BIM tools are often limited to specialists, leaving critical stakeholders out of the loop.
IVION pairs millimeter-accurate scan data with an intuitive browser-based platform, and transforms reality capture into a shared, real-time environment where everyone – from field teams to planners – can explore as-is conditions, overlay design models, verify installations, flag issues, and collaborate remotely. Additionally, with its built-in workflows, keeping IVION data up to date is fast and simple.
In an era of tighter timelines and shrinking resources, IVION delivers the clarity to act now — before the next assumption becomes a costly mistake.
