The first XGRIDS Lixel L3 in Australia is in Sydney for one afternoon, and you can scan with it.

AECT founder Jacob Lee is bringing the L3 — XGRIDS' new flagship handheld SLAM LiDAR scanner, launched on 15 September 2026 — to Rhodes for a two-hour hands-on session. Free, registration required, numbers limited by the room.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ROOM

• Live capture of the room and the street outside, processed and georeferenced on the device before we sit back down. No laptop, no upload.

• The point cloud reviewed on the L3's 4.3-inch screen: RGB, elevation, intensity and quality views, clipping and measurement.

• The L3 next to the Lixel L2 Pro and K2, so you can pick the right unit for your workflow: precision handheld, long-range and mounted, or everyday sub-1 kg.

• The processing side on an AECT workstation: LixelStudio (coordinate transformation, floor plans, exports to .las, .rcp and .e57) and LCC (3D Gaussian Splatting and Scan-to-BIM into Revit).

• Hands-on time: scan it yourself, bring a site problem, and if you want to check the numbers, bring your own control.

• Pre-orders on the day: an AU$2,000 deposit holds a first-shipment unit for October delivery. Pricing is quoted for your configuration after a short conversation.

THE NUMBERS

5 mm relative accuracy (1σ) and 2 cm absolute with the built-in RTK · three 4K HDR cameras · 4.3-inch, 1,000-nit display · about 2.5 kg · one walk produces a true-colour point cloud, a photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting scene and a mesh. The unit on the bench is the 32-channel / 120 m configuration, one of nine first-batch L3s worldwide.

WHO IT IS FOR

Surveyors and engineers, Scan-to-BIM and digital engineering teams, infrastructure and facility asset owners, councils, and anyone who delivers against an accuracy specification.
