Portable LiDAR mapping

Handheld SLAM 3D Scanners

Capture indoor and outdoor environments with real-time point-cloud preview, post-processing, 12 MP visual capture, and multiple spatial-data outputs.

Three models for different capture priorities.

Pentra balances portability and broad coverage. Radix emphasizes dense 360° capture and range. Staris emphasizes extended reach and battery duration.

Pentra

A balanced portable option when broad coverage, manageable weight, and practical indoor/outdoor range are central to the workflow.

Radix

Designed for evaluators who need comprehensive 360° coverage, longer range, and a high point rate. Point rate should be assessed alongside environment, workflow, and accuracy requirements.

Staris

Best evaluated for long-range and large-scale capture. The 450 m range applies at 80% reflectivity and should not be generalized to all surfaces or conditions.
