Section 1

Lixel L2 Pro

The L2 Pro ships in three configurations differentiated by LiDAR channel count and working range. The sensor, camera, accuracy, and physical specifications are identical across all three. The differences are scan speed and working range only.

L2 Pro 16/120

Channels: 16

Working range: 1.6 ft to 394 ft (0.5 m to 120 m)

Scan speed: 320,000 pts/s

Entry configuration. Sufficient for most AEC use cases with building heights under 394 ft (120 m).

L2 Pro 32/120

Channels: 32

Working range: 1.6 ft to 394 ft (0.5 m to 120 m)

Scan speed: 640,000 pts/s

Higher point density than 16/120. Recommended configuration for most professional use. Best scan efficiency of the three models.

L2 Pro 32/300

Channels: 32

Working range: 1.6 ft to 984 ft (0.5 m to 300 m)

Scan speed: 640,000 pts/s

Extended range for tall structures and large outdoor environments. Better drift management than 120 m models at distance. Building height support up to approximately 590 ft (180 m).

Section 5

Processing Computer Requirements

Both software pipelines are Windows only. Neither runs on macOS or Linux. AMD GPUs are completely unsupported in LCC Studio with no workaround. LixelStudio also requires an NVIDIA GPU. Build or purchase processing workstations accordingly.

LixelStudio

Point cloud processing. Free with hardware. Windows 10 or 11 only. NVIDIA GPU required. Recommended specifications: RTX 3070 or better, 64 GB RAM minimum.

LCC Studio

3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction. Subscription-priced. Windows 10 or 11 only. NVIDIA GPU required with CUDA support. AMD and Intel discrete GPUs not supported. Recommended specifications: RTX 4090, 64 to 128 GB RAM.

Map Fusion and Aerial-Ground Fusion: Additional Requirements. Map Fusion and Aerial-Ground Fusion in LCC Studio place substantially higher demands on the processing computer than single-scene reconstruction. The hardware listed above is the minimum required for these workflows. Running fusion on hardware below these thresholds results in out-of-memory failures and corrupted or incomplete fusion outputs.
