Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro Handheld SLAM Scanner with Gaussian Splatting
Handheld SLAM Scanner with Native Gaussian Splatting Output. Professional scanning services powered by Xgrids technology.
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 a relative accuracy of 2cm real-time (1cm post-processed, RMSE within 100m) over a 0.5–120-metre 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 generates real-time point clouds that Xgrids says can reach up to 1 million points per square metre. Dual 48MP panoramic cameras provide RGB colorization via LixelUpSample technology. The scanner weighs just 1.7kg without its battery and carries a 1TB onboard SSD.
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 up to 1 million points per m² (manufacturer claim)
- 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?
Xgrids publishes 2cm RMSE relative accuracy in real time (1cm post-processed) for points less than 100m apart, and 3cm RMSE absolute accuracy with control points or an RTK disconnection under 100m. It can generate point clouds Xgrids says reach up to 1 million points per square meter in real time. This is significantly less accurate than survey-grade scanners like the Trimble X12 (3D point accuracy 2.2 mm @ 20 m) but sufficient for GS visualization and BIM-ready documentation.
Xgrids L2 Pro vs NavVis VLX 3?
The NavVis VLX 3 (1.28M pts/sec per datasheet v2409, 5mm local accuracy) captures faster and is designed for large-facility SLAM scanning. The Xgrids L2 Pro (640K pts/sec, 2cm relative RMSE) 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 is rated IP54 and reaches 120m (300m on the 32-channel 300m configuration), which suits 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.
