Xgrid Lixel L3 Handheld LiDAR Scanner for Surveying and AEC Malaysia
Xgrid Lixel L3 Handheld LiDAR Scanner for Surveying and AEC Malaysia
The Xgrid Lixel L3 Handheld LiDAR Scanner is designed for surveying, architecture, engineering and construction professionals who need to capture buildings, infrastructure and complex environments efficiently.
It combines LiDAR, SLAM, survey-grade GNSS, RTK capability and HDR cameras in one portable system. From a single site survey, users can produce coloured point clouds, Mesh models and photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting models.
Available in 16-channel and 32-channel versions, the Xgrid Lixel L3 is suitable for as-built surveys, construction documentation, factory digital twins, data-centre mapping, infrastructure inspection and other professional 3D-capture applications in Malaysia.
What Is the Xgrid Lixel L3?
The Xgrid Lixel L3 is a mobile mapping and reality-capture system that allows the operator to scan an environment while walking.
A conventional terrestrial laser scanner normally requires multiple stationary setups. A handheld SLAM LiDAR scanner can continuously capture the surrounding environment as the operator moves through rooms, corridors, factory areas or outdoor locations.
This makes the Xgrid Lixel L3 suitable for:
Buildings and construction sites
Factories and industrial facilities
Data centres and plant rooms
Warehouses and commercial properties
Tunnels and underground environments
Infrastructure corridors
Heritage buildings
Areas with limited or unavailable GNSS signals

Actual performance may vary according to the selected configuration, operating environment, scan route, GNSS conditions and processing method. Specifications should be confirmed before quotation or project deployment.
Understanding the 5 mm Relative Accuracy
One of the main specifications of the Xgrid Lixel L3 is its stated 5 mm post-processed relative accuracy.
However, this result was obtained under the manufacturer’s specified test conditions in an environment of approximately 500 square metres. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every point on every project will have an absolute coordinate accuracy of 5 mm.
There are two important accuracy terms:
Relative accuracy describes how consistently objects and surfaces within the same scan align with one another.
Absolute accuracy describes how accurately the final data corresponds to real-world coordinates.
The stated post-processed absolute accuracy is approximately 2 cm RMSE. Actual results will depend on factors such as RTK availability, GNSS reception, control points, site geometry, operator technique and post-processing workflow.
Projects with strict survey tolerances should use suitable control points and verify the final data against known survey coordinates.
Faster As-Built Surveying
As-built surveying can require a large number of measurements, especially in buildings containing complex structural, mechanical and electrical elements.
The Xgrid Lixel L3 captures dense three-dimensional spatial information as the operator walks through the site. This helps surveyors and project teams document more visible site details within a shorter field period.
The captured data may include:
Walls, floors and ceilings
Columns and structural elements
Doors, windows and openings
Pipes and cable trays
Air-conditioning ducts
Mechanical and electrical installations
Equipment locations
Existing room dimensions
Construction progress
Visible site conditions
This spatial information can support renovation planning, BIM verification, construction coordination and as-built documentation.
Colour Point Clouds and Photorealistic 3D Models
The Xgrid Lixel L3 is not limited to producing standard LiDAR point clouds.
Its HDR camera system records colour and visual information together with the LiDAR data. Depending on the selected processing workflow, users can generate:
Coloured point clouds
Mesh models
3D Gaussian Splatting models
3D Tiles
Site photographs
Data for compatible CAD, BIM and visualisation platforms
A point cloud is useful for technical measurement and spatial analysis. A Mesh model can provide a continuous surface representation, while a 3D Gaussian Splatting model creates a more realistic visual experience.
This combination allows the same site data to support both engineering and presentation requirements.
On-Site Preview and Measurement
The Xgrid Lixel L3 includes a 4.3-inch display that allows users to preview captured data while still at the project site.
This helps the operator confirm whether important rooms, corridors, equipment areas and external spaces have been covered before completing the survey.
On-site checking can reduce the risk of:
Missing important locations
Incomplete scan coverage
Discovering problems during office processing
Returning to a distant project site
Delaying the final deliverables
The screen provides brightness of up to 1,000 nits, helping users view the interface during outdoor operations.
Integrated GNSS and RTK Capability
The Xgrid Lixel L3 incorporates survey-grade multi-constellation GNSS and supports RTK-assisted positioning.
RTK can improve positioning, orientation and georeferencing when the scanner is used outdoors under suitable satellite and correction-service conditions.
For indoor, underground and GNSS-denied locations, the system relies mainly on SLAM processing. Suitable scan routes, loop closures and control points may be required when integrating the scan into an established project coordinate system.
Xgrid LixelStudio Software
Xgrid LixelStudio is used to view, process and manage the data captured by the Lixel L3.
Depending on the software configuration, available functions may include:
Point-cloud viewing
Point-cloud editing
Intelligent noise reduction
Point-cloud colouring
Engineering levelling
ICP alignment
Ground control point processing
Scan overlay
Mesh generation
Point-of-interest enhancement
These processing tools help convert raw field data into usable outputs for measurement, documentation, modelling and visualisation.
Xgrid Lixel CyberColor
Xgrid Lixel CyberColor combines SLAM data with 3D Gaussian Splatting technology to generate realistic three-dimensional environments.
Potential applications include:
Factory digital twins
Data-centre visualisation
Virtual site visits
Building presentations
Cultural heritage documentation
Tourism visualisation
Film and virtual production
Robotics training and simulation
Large-scale scene reconstruction
Software licences, included modules, processing limits and renewal charges should be confirmed before purchasing the system.
Supported Output Formats
The Xgrid Lixel L3 workflow supports several professional output formats:
Point clouds: LAS, RCP, E57, PLY and iLAS
Images: JPG
Mesh models: OSGB and OBJ
3D Gaussian Splatting: LCC2, LCC and PLY
Other formats: 3D Tiles and USD
Users should verify compatibility with their existing CAD, BIM, GIS or 3D visualisation software before beginning a project.

Xgrid Lixel L3 16-Channel vs 32-Channel
Selecting the correct version depends on the size of the project, desired point density, scanning speed and available budget.
The Xgrid Lixel L3 16-channel version may be suitable for smaller projects and organisations beginning to use handheld LiDAR technology.
The Xgrid Lixel L3 32-channel version offers a point-cloud rate of up to 640,000 points per second. It may be more suitable for larger environments, faster scanning or projects that require denser spatial data.
A practical demonstration using a representative site is recommended before selecting the final configuration.
