NavVis Laser Scanning (VLX & MLX Mobile Mapping Systems)
Industry-leading wearable and handheld laser scanning systems
NavVis laser scanners are industry-leading mobile mapping systems designed for fast, accurate 3D reality capture. Using advanced SLAM technology, NavVis VLX and MLX scanners allow surveyors, engineers, and construction professionals to capture high-density point cloud data without the need for static setups.
Whether you’re scanning buildings, infrastructure, or industrial environments, NavVis delivers survey-grade accuracy with unmatched speed and efficiency.
What is a NavVis Laser Scanner?
NavVis laser scanners are wearable and handheld mobile mapping systems that use
SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) technology to capture accurate
3D spatial data while moving through an environment.
Unlike traditional terrestrial laser scanners, NavVis systems allow users to scan large areas quickly
without stopping at multiple setups, making them ideal for construction, surveying, and digital twin workflows.
- Fast, mobile 3D laser scanning
- Survey-grade accuracy using SLAM technology
- Ideal for large and complex environments
- Efficient reality capture for BIM and digital twins
