04 · what a hand scanner does

Precise 3D data collection, simplified.

Walk a site and capture it volumetrically — no tripods, no static setups, no waiting for a GPS lock.

01

Advanced mobile mapping

Survey complex environments with precise geospatial data using SLAM-powered mobile mapping — capture on the move.

02

Reality capture

Harness 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to capture real spaces as photorealistic, interactive 3D worlds.

03

Transform your applications

Elevate AEC, urban planning, film, real estate, geospatial and utility workflows with one capture method.

Immersive 3DGS environments.

Photoreal, real-time rendering

Higher fidelity than point clouds — smooth lighting, depth and realism, instantly.

Lightweight & web-ready

Compact files, easy to share — view in-browser, VR or mobile.

Capture anywhere, any way

Drone, handheld, or both — XGRIDS fuses aerial and ground data into one model.

XGRIDS handheld SLAM scanner
06 · slam mobile mapping

Map as you walk.

SLAM — Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping — obtains positional data while building the map at the same time.

No GPS required

Works indoors, underground and in dense environments where GNSS can’t reach.

Never stand still

Capture on the move — map an unknown environment as you walk through it.

10× faster

Dramatically quicker than static, tripod-based alternatives — more site, less time.

Quick answers.

Speed and reach. Handheld scanners are lightweight and portable, capture from any angle without time-consuming setup or alignment, and reach confined spaces and outdoor sites a static scanner can’t. Most give real-time feedback so you can assess scan quality and adjust on the fly.
Yes — handheld 3D scanners are designed to be user-friendly and accessible, even for people new to 3D capture. And heliguy provides end-to-end onboarding and data-processing support so you’re productive quickly.
High, for a handheld device. XGRIDS scanners achieve 1.2cm relative accuracy, 3cm absolute accuracy and 0.015° horizontal accuracy — and RTK modules add coordinate-referenced, centimetre-level positioning.
Both — and underground. Because SLAM doesn’t rely on GPS, XGRIDS scanners work in interiors, tunnels and dense environments as well as open sites. Their portability and adaptability suit a wide range of applications.
3D Gaussian Splatting is a reality-capture technique that produces photoreal, volumetric models — richer than a traditional mesh, lightweight, and viewable in a browser. Paired with XGRIDS scanners you can walk a site and produce a navigable, photographic 3D model in hours.
