The Lixel K1

The Lixel K1 is a compact, handheld mobile LiDAR scanner designed for fast, efficient reality capture with minimal setup. It is purpose-built for users who want the advantages of SLAM-based LiDAR—speed, mobility, and simplicity—in a lighter, more approachable form factor than larger backpack or vehicle-mounted systems.

The K1 is ideal for indoor environments, short outdoor scans, and rapid documentation where portability and ease of use matter most.

Why Choose the Lixel K1?

• Ultra-portable handheld LiDAR – Lightweight and easy to deploy

• SLAM-based capture – Walk the site while scanning, no tripod required

• Fast learning curve – Excellent for users new to LiDAR

• Professional-grade results – Clean point clouds for documentation and modeling

• RTK-ready – Upgrade accuracy when your workflows demand it

Understanding the K1 Scanner

The Lixel K1 is designed around simplicity and efficiency rather than multiple sensor configurations.

• Optimized point density for indoor and near-range environments

• Stable SLAM performance in corridors, rooms, and structured spaces

• Smaller data sizes for faster processing and easier data handling

In practice: The K1 focuses on capturing what matters most—accurate geometry and clean surfaces—without overwhelming new users with complexity.

Lixel K1 Specifications

• LiDAR Channels: Single (optimized for indoor; lower density than L2 Pro's 16/32 channels)​

• Max Range: 40 m (131 ft) (shorter than L2 Pro's 120/300 m; best for single buildings/small spaces)​

• Scan Rate: 200,000 pts/s (lower than L2 Pro for tighter indoor workflows)​

• FOV: 360° horizontal / -7° to 52° vertical​

• Accuracy: Relative RMSE 3 cm (1.2 in) at 50 m (164 ft); absolute RMSE 3 cm (1.2 in) with RTK/GCP (GCP every 50 m / 164 ft)​

• Cameras: 48 MP panoramic (360°), visual positioning​

• Weight: <1 kg (<2.2 lbs) (lighter/more portable than L2 Pro)​

• RTK Accuracy: Standard (±0.8 cm / 0.3 in horiz, ±1.5 cm / 0.6 in vert +1 ppm)​

LixelStudio Software

Process your K1 scans with LixelStudio – the professional LiDAR processing platform included as 3 perpetual licenses with every K1 package (no subscription fees).

What LixelStudio Does for K1:

• Converts raw K1 data (.hbc files) into clean, industry-standard point clouds

• Automatic SLAM optimization for drift-free indoor scans

• RTK integration for real-world coordinates (Full Package)

• Noise filtering and cleanup optimized for handheld workflows

• Exports LAS/LAZ, E57, PLY for CAD, BIM, and documentation

• Fast processing for K1's smaller, efficient datasets

Key Advantage: Unlike subscription-based competitors, LixelStudio is owned forever – giving you complete control over your indoor LiDAR processing without recurring costs. Perfect for facilities documentation, quick site walks, and architectural as-builts.​
