NavVis MLX Handheld Mobile Scanner
Access the Hardest-to-Reach Spaces. Professional scanning services powered by NavVis technology.
About the NavVis MLX
The NavVis MLX is a handheld SLAM scanner designed specifically for the tight and complex spaces that other scanners can't reach. At just 3.6 kg, the MLX captures mechanical rooms, ceiling voids, crawl spaces, and areas with complex equipment obstructions that would be inaccessible to backpack or tripod scanners.
We deploy the MLX as the perfect complement to our NavVis VLX 3. While the VLX 3 rapidly captures large open areas, the MLX handles the intricate spaces where operators need to reach around obstacles, navigate low ceilings, or document dense equipment installations.
The MLX delivers the same ±5mm accuracy (±3mm with control) as the VLX 3 and integrates seamlessly into the NavVis IVION platform. This means complete facility documentation—from expansive warehouses to the smallest mechanical closets—in a unified digital twin.
Key Benefits
- Access mechanical rooms and tight equipment spaces
- Capture ceiling voids and plenums from below
- Document crawl spaces and low-clearance areas
- Lightweight 3.6 kg design for all-day operation
- Same NavVis IVION platform as VLX 3
Considerations
- Slower coverage than VLX 3 for large open spaces
- Best used as supplement to VLX 3 for complete facility coverage

NavVis MLX Frequently Asked Questions
Why use the MLX instead of the VLX 3?
The MLX goes where the VLX 3 can't. Ceiling voids, mechanical rooms with dense piping, crawl spaces, and areas requiring the operator to reach around obstacles need the handheld form factor. We typically use both together for complete facility coverage.
What is the accuracy of the NavVis MLX?
The MLX achieves ±5mm accuracy (1 sigma), improving to ±3mm with ground control points—identical to the VLX 3. Data from both scanners combines seamlessly in NavVis IVION.
How long does MLX scanning take?
The MLX is optimized for detail rather than speed. Expect to cover 20,000-40,000 sqft per day depending on space complexity. For large facilities, we use MLX for tight spaces and VLX 3 for main areas.
