A Complete End-to-End Software Ecosystem

As a robust scanning solution, Lixel K2 delivered clean and accurate spatial data for seamless integration with diverse project workflows: engineering surveying, cultural heritage, stockpile volumetrics, real estate documentation, VR/AR, BIM&AEC and infrastructure inspection. Through a complete end-to-end software ecosystem, users can easily obtain point clouds, lightweight 3D Gaussian Splatting, high-resolution imagery and 3D meshes.

Professional-Grade Scanning in Your Hands

The lightweight spatial scanner K2 is designed to bring professional-grade reality capture into everyday workflows. Weighing under 1 kg, K2 combines real-time colourised point clouds, built-in RTK positioning, and engineering-level accuracy in a compact, field-ready device. With instant visual feedback during scanning and a complete software ecosystem from capture to delivery, K2 significantly reduces turnaround time while improving reliability on site.

LixelStudio 4.0: Point Cloud Processing Reaches New Heights

Alongside the K2 debut, XGRIDS announced the latest update to LixelStudio 4.0, bringing a host of refinements that pushed point cloud processing to new heights. The release introduced improved alignment and leveling for greater spatial precision, alongside significantly cleaner point clouds achieved through reduced noise and minimized artifacts. Users benefited from enhanced color accuracy and consistency, delivering truer-to-life visual results. Mesh reconstruction became more stable and reliable, while the overall processing pipeline was redesigned to feel more intuitive and efficient.
