Buying guide · Which scanner
Which XGRIDS scanner is right for you?
SLAM-based handheld scanners that take reality capture off the tripod and into walkable workflows — producing both standard point-cloud LAS / LAZ and XGRIDS’ 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) photorealistic output. Choose by range, accuracy and the scale of the spaces you capture.
The accessible way into SLAM + 3DGS capture — real estate, smaller as-builts and forensic scenes.
A step up in range and accuracy for professional BIM, survey and infrastructure work.
The high-end scanner for large-scale capture, with vehicle and drone-mount options for ground + aerial fusion.

The system around the scanner
Power, mounts and the processing software behind the point cloud.
Batteries & storage
Spare batteries, extension poles and high-capacity SSDs keep a scanning day going and hold large captures.
Accessories →Vehicle & drone mounts
Vehicle mounts and drone brackets turn the L2 Pro into a mobile and aerial-ground fusion capture system.
Mounts →Lixel CyberColor (LCC)
XGRIDS’ processing software turns raw scans into coloured point clouds and 3DGS models, on desktop or in the cloud.
Software →XGRIDS scanners — common questions
PortalCam, Lixel K2 or L2 Pro — which should I buy?
Start with the PortalCam for real estate, smaller as-builts and forensic scenes; step up to the Lixel K2 for professional BIM and survey range and accuracy; choose the L2 Pro for large-scale capture and vehicle- or drone-mounted fusion.
What is 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS)?
A photorealistic reconstruction technique that produces navigable, true-to-life 3D scenes alongside the measurable point cloud — increasingly used for visualisation, digital twins and stakeholder communication.
What are these scanners used for?
As-built BIM, forensic crime-scene reconstruction, real estate, museum and heritage digitisation, mining and infrastructure inspection — anywhere walkable SLAM capture beats a static tripod scanner.
Do I need extra software?
Yes — XGRIDS Lixel CyberColor (LCC) processes the raw scans into coloured point clouds and 3DGS output. We can advise on the right licence and workflow for your deliverables.
Can heliguy advise on the right kit?
Yes — as a reality-capture specialist we’ll match the scanner, mounts and software to your sector and the deliverables your clients expect.
