Four instruments, one decision: matching the scanner to the work
Point rate and range are the headline numbers, but the real differentiators are workflow: what you carry, how long you capture, and what leaves the office.
The XGRIDS range spans four instruments, and the honest comparison is not better-or-worse — it is which constraint governs your work.
When mobility governs — Lixel K2
At roughly 1.2 kg with built-in RTK, the K2 is the instrument for teams whose day is measured in positions captured: interiors, stairwells, site corridors, topographic passes. Centimetre-class relative accuracy at walking pace, georeferenced as it records.
When the environment governs — Lixel L2 Pro
Kilometres of corridor, full-building interiors, 120 m or 300 m range configurations, up to 640,000 points per second across a near-spherical field of view, with survey-grade RTK options. The system for complex environments and non-negotiable tolerances — and it mounts to vehicles and drones.
When the deliverable is the experience — PortalCam
A 96-channel LiDAR fused with a four-camera array, engineered specifically for photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes. Real estate, film location work, heritage interiors — environments people need to walk through, not measure.
When the scanner must always be in the kit — LixelKity K1
One kilogram, field-ready in minutes, 1.2 cm relative accuracy, optional RTK. The K1 makes reality capture a standard part of every site visit rather than a survey event. Speak with us about the application first — the comparison matrix on the products page carries the full numbers.
