Active Ritec Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the launch of the new 3D scanner "Lixel K2" as a new product of its 3D scanner brand "XGRIDS".
Lixel K2 is a next-generation 3D scanner that supports the practical application of high-quality 3D data acquired on-site, such as point clouds, 3DGS (3D Gaussian Splatting), and digital twins.
As a core device that realizes "engineering-grade point clouds" newly proposed by XGRIDS, it is expected to be utilized in a wide range of fields including construction, surveying, facility management, construction records, renovation planning, and cultural heritage archiving.
In recent years, the utilization of 3D data, including 3DGS, has expanded beyond specialized fields to more practical areas such as on-site recording, spatial sharing, presentations, and consensus building.
However, to utilize 3D data in business, it is important not only to simply photograph and record space, but also to be able to acquire data stably on-site, to utilize it as easily manageable data after acquisition, and to share it easily with stakeholders.
Lixel K2 meets these needs by improving acquisition quality and operability on-site, supporting everything from the first step of 3D data utilization to full-scale business use.

Features of Lixel K2: Higher quality 3D data that can be used on-site
Lixel K2 is a new 3D scanner that combines ease of use on-site with high-quality acquired data, based on the 3D scanning technology cultivated by XGRIDS.
Conventionally, in the utilization of 3D scan data, it often took time for confirmation and correction in post-processing, such as alignment, noise reduction, color adjustment, and mesh generation.
Lixel K2 enables practical 3D data utilization by obtaining high-quality data from the acquisition stage, reducing the burden of post-processing.
Key features are as follows:
Reduces post-processing burden by acquiring high-quality point cloud data
Achieves stable color reproducibility and consistency even in low-light environments
Efficiently acquires a wide range of spaces by walking through the site
Can be utilized for current status grasp, construction records, pre-renovation confirmation, and simple surveying
Expands to various applications such as point clouds, meshes, 3DGS, and digital twins
Supports processing, sharing, and deliverables after acquisition through linkage with LixelStudio 4.0 and LCC-related functions
It is important for 3D scanners not just to be able to "measure," but to be continuously usable on-site. XGRIDS supports 3D data utilization that emphasizes ease of handling on-site, mobility, short acquisition times, and sharing after acquisition.
Making practical use of 3DGS more accessible
3DGS is attracting attention as a technology that reproduces real spaces three-dimensionally and visually.
While means of generating 3DGS are expanding, such as smartphones, mirrorless cameras, and drones, acquisition quality, reproducibility, processing workflow, and ease of sharing are important for stable utilization in practice.
Lixel K2, through XGRIDS's 3D scanning technology and linked software, makes it easier to utilize data acquired on-site in the form of point clouds, 3D models, and 3DGS.
For example, it is expected to be utilized in the following scenarios:
Current status recording of construction and civil engineering sites
Comparison before and after construction
Spatial understanding before renovation work
Current status confirmation of factories, facilities, and plants
Digital twin construction
Archiving of cultural heritage, facilities, and spaces
Creation of presentations and consensus-building materials for customers
By acquiring the site in 3D, the depth of space, positional relationships, and complex shapes that are difficult to convey with only photos and drawings can be intuitively grasped.
Furthermore, reviewing the acquired data later and sharing it among stakeholders leads to reducing re-visits, preventing misunderstandings, and improving explanatory power.
LixelStudio 4.0 maximizes K2's performance
In conjunction with the launch of Lixel K2, point cloud processing software "LixelStudio 4.0" will also be officially released.
LixelStudio 4.0 significantly improves alignment and leveling accuracy, enabling more precise and stable processing of point cloud data acquired with K2.
In addition, it supports a series of operations from acquisition to deliverable creation through clean point cloud generation that suppresses noise and ghosting, more complete and stable mesh generation, and an intuitive and efficient software workflow.
This allows data acquired with Lixel K2 to be developed not only as mere scan data but as practical point cloud, mesh, and 3D data.
The LCC ecosystem supports sharing, viewing, and deliverables
3D data acquired with Lixel K2 can be used with XGRIDS's LCC Studio, LCC Cloud, Web Viewer, and other ecosystems.
