Handheld 3D Scanner Price Guide

3D LiDAR scanners are available at a wide range of price points, depending on your budget, which features you need, and how you plan to use your scanner.

E38 Survey Solutions carries two different 3D laser scanners from XGRIDS: the Lixel Kity K1 and the Lixel L2 Pro. There are a few products on the market that can be compared to these two handheld scanners:

The RESEPI Hesai XT-32 drone LiDAR kit. The Hesai XT-32 is a dual-use LiDAR module. Originally designed for aerial use with a drone, the Hesai XT-32 can also be used as a handheld SLAM sensor. The Hesai XT-32 drone kit costs $32,990.
The RESEPI Hesai XT-32M2X drone LiDAR kit. Like the Hesai XT-32, the Hesai XT-32M2X can be used as both an aerial LiDAR sensor and a handheld SLAM scanner. The primary difference is that the Hesai XT-32M2X offers a triple return pulse rate, which translates to better performance when scanning vegetation. The Hesai XT-32M2X drone LiDAR kit costs $43,990.
The Leica BLK2GO. The Leica BLK2GO is a handheld 3D laser scanner. As a brand, Leica is somewhat analogous to Apple in that its products only work within the Leica software ecosystem. The Leica BLK2GO costs $55,945.
The GeoSLAM ZEB Horizon RT. The GeoSLAM ZEB Horizon RT is a lightweight, rugged SLAM system that allows you to view your scanned data as you walk. The GeoSLAM ZEB Horizon RT is comparable to the 16-channel, 120-meter range model of the XGRIDS Lixel L2 Pro. GeoSLAM products tend to have a high price point: The ZEB Horizon RT costs $42,167.
The Stonex SLAM X120Go is a handheld 3D scanner comparable to the 16-channel, 120-meter range model of the XGRIDS Lixel L2 Pro. The Stonex SLAM X120Go costs $29,995.
The Stonex SLAM X40Go is a compact 3D laser scanner made for interior surveys and layout generation. The Stonex SLAM X40Go is comparable to the XGRIDS Lixel Kity L1. The Stonex SLAM X40Go costs $16995 with required software.

What sets XGRIDS 3D scanners apart?

Below are five specific areas where an XGRIDS 3D scanner from E38 Survey Solutions promises to outperform the competition, from price to direct support.

Price

The price of the XGRIDS Lixel Kity K1 is significantly lower than the price of the Leica BLK2GO and other competitive 3D scanners. The Lixel L2 Pro has a higher price tag than the Lixel Kity K1, but it is still meaningfully less expensive than other 3D laser scanners on the market.

This is partially because LiDAR technology as a whole has become more accessible. Just like flatscreen TVs have gotten cheaper over time, advancements in technology and manufacturing have made LiDAR more affordable. XGRIDS has also dialed in a strategic sourcing, manufacturing, and pricing model that passes all savings onto the customer.

Leadership

Most of the leadership team at XGRIDS came from DJI, a leading manufacturer of commercial unmanned aerial vehicles for aerial photography and videography. DJI owns over 70% of the world’s drone marketshare, an incredible business achievement and a testament to the price and quality of the product.

The leadership team at XGRIDS has leveraged DJI’s incredibly successful business model and manufacturing strategy to deliver the same performance and affordability in the 3D laser scanner market.

R&D

While many LiDAR companies invest heavily in their sales teams, 80% of the staff at XGRIDS are dedicated specifically to research and development (R&D). XGRIDS team members have specialized expertise in distributed high-performance computing, GPU heterogeneous computing, 3D reconstruction, artificial intelligence, and robotics. The result is truly incomparable leadership in the field of 3D technology—and better products.

Accessibility

Unlike the Leica BLK2GO and other high-priced 3D scanners, XGRIDS 3D scanners are software agnostic. The output of the Lixel Kity L1 and the Lixel L2 Pro are compatible with virtually any software and can be integrated into your existing ecosystem.
