Capture reality faster β€” with real-time 3D scanning. The XGRIDS Lixel L2 Pro is a handheld SLAM scanner designed for fast, high-detail reality capture across complex indoor, outdoor and underground environments.

Combining LiDAR, dual 48MP panoramic vision, IMU and AI-powered multi-SLAM optimisation, the Lixel L2 Pro generates real-time colour point clouds and supports accurate field-to-office workflows without the heavy post-processing burden. It delivers real-time RGB, LAS point cloud output, up to 640,000 points per second, and mapping accuracy suitable for demanding spatial capture projects.

Ideal for:
βœ… Construction documentation
βœ… Asset capture and inspection
βœ… Underground and GNSS-limited environments
βœ… Building interiors and infrastructure
βœ… Digital twins and reality modelling
βœ… Surveying, engineering and GIS workflows

For teams needing fast, practical and measurable 3D data capture, the Lixel L2 Pro brings powerful SLAM scanning into a portable field-ready package.
Available from Map Gear, backed by real-world support from Mangoesmapping.

Brad showcases the power of PIX4Dcatch at Wellington Airport in New Zealand, using the app to capture a detailed 3D model directly from a mobile device. 🐲 πŸ‰

PIX4Dcatch makes reality capture more accessible by allowing users to scan objects, sites and environments with a smartphone or tablet, then process the data into measurable 3D outputs such as point clouds, meshes and digital models. When paired with Emlid RTK positioning, it supports more accurate, georeferenced field capture for surveying, construction, asset documentation and mapping workflows.
