About the Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro

The Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro is a 32-channel handheld SLAM scanner that captures 640,000 points per second with ±1-2cm relative accuracy and a 120-meter range. What makes it unique in the 3D scanning ecosystem is its native Gaussian Splatting output through the Lixel CyberColor (LCC) software — and critically, it features the only GS-to-BIM Revit plugin on the market.

The L2 Pro uses Multi-SLAM AI to generate real-time point clouds at up to 1 million points per square meter at 1mm spacing, with no post-processing required. Dual 48MP panoramic cameras provide RGB colorization via LixelUpSample technology. The scanner weighs just 1.7kg (without battery) with 512GB onboard SSD storage.

Xgrids LCC (Lixel CyberColor) processes scans into Gaussian Splatting format with SDKs for Unity, Unreal Engine, and WebGL — making it the most game-engine-ready professional scanner available. Processing time is approximately 1 hour per 3-minute scan. Xgrids is a contributing member to the Khronos glTF KHR_gaussian_splatting candidate specification.

At THE FUTURE 3D, we recognize the Xgrids L2 Pro as a complementary tool for ground-level interior scanning alongside our drone-based aerial GS workflow. Our competitor Visualskies (London/Berlin/NYC) uses the L2 Pro paired with DJI M4E drones for their film and VFX scanning services.

Key Benefits

  • Native Gaussian Splatting output via Lixel CyberColor (LCC) software
  • Only GS-to-BIM Revit plugin on the market (LCC for Revit)
  • SDKs for Unity, Unreal Engine, and WebGL — game engine ready
  • Real-time point clouds at 1M pts/m² without post-processing
  • Lightweight handheld design (1.7kg) for easy interior scanning
  • Contributing member to Khronos glTF GS specification

Considerations

  • Proprietary GS format (LCC) — not standard PLY output
  • Processing time: ~1 hour per 3-minute scan in LCC software
  • Higher price point (~$15,000-$25,000 system) than consumer alternatives
  • Indoor/building-scale focus — not for large outdoor aerial projects

Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Xgrids L2 Pro output Gaussian Splats?

Yes. The L2 Pro is one of the few professional scanners with native Gaussian Splatting output through the Lixel CyberColor (LCC) software. LCC processes handheld SLAM scans into GS format with SDKs for Unity, Unreal Engine, and WebGL. It also features the only GS-to-BIM Revit plugin available.

How accurate is the Xgrids L2 Pro?

The L2 Pro achieves ±1-2cm relative accuracy and <3cm absolute accuracy. It can generate point clouds at 1 million points per square meter at 1mm spacing in real-time without post-processing. This is significantly less accurate than survey-grade scanners like the Trimble X12 (±1mm) but sufficient for GS visualization and BIM-ready documentation.

Xgrids L2 Pro vs NavVis VLX 3?

The NavVis VLX 3 (2.56M pts/sec, ±5mm) captures faster and is designed for large-facility SLAM scanning. The Xgrids L2 Pro (640K pts/sec, ±1-2cm) has native GS output and game engine SDKs. Choose VLX 3 for speed and facility documentation; L2 Pro for GS deliverables and BIM integration.

What is the LCC for Revit plugin?

LCC for Revit is the only Gaussian Splatting-to-BIM plugin available. It enables Xgrids L2 Pro GS scan data to be imported directly into Autodesk Revit, bridging photorealistic GS visualization with BIM modeling workflows. No other scanner or software currently offers this capability.

How much does the Xgrids L2 Pro cost?

The Xgrids L2 Pro system (scanner + LCC software) typically costs $15,000-$25,000 depending on configuration (16-channel vs 32-channel, accessories, and software license tier). This is positioned between consumer scanners ($3,000-$5,000) and premium professional scanners ($50,000+).

Can the Xgrids L2 Pro scan outdoors?

Yes, the L2 Pro has an IP64 rating and 120m range suitable for outdoor scanning. However, its SLAM-based approach works best for structured environments (buildings, interiors). For large outdoor areas and aerial coverage, drone-based GS capture (DJI Terra Flagship) is more appropriate.

What SDKs does Xgrids provide?

Xgrids provides SDKs for Unity, Unreal Engine, and WebGL through the LCC software ecosystem. These enable developers to integrate GS scan data directly into game engines and web applications. Xgrids is also a contributing member to the Khronos glTF KHR_gaussian_splatting specification.

Does THE FUTURE 3D use the Xgrids L2 Pro?

THE FUTURE 3D recognizes the Xgrids L2 Pro as a strong complementary tool for ground-level interior GS scanning. Our primary GS workflow uses DJI Terra Flagship for building-scale aerial capture paired with Trimble X12 for survey-grade LiDAR accuracy — a hybrid approach that provides both photorealistic GS visualization and engineering-grade dimensional data.
