NavVis MLX Handheld Reality Capture System
Combine survey-grade data quality with the flexibility of handheld reality capture using the NavVis MLX. Designed for surveying, AEC, Scan-to-BIM, and detailed as-built documentation, NavVis MLX delivers reliable spatial data in a compact, highly maneuverable system that can go where larger scanning platforms may be difficult to deploy.
Powered by a 32-layer LiDAR sensor, industry-trusted SLAM technology, and Visual Odometry, NavVis MLX captures detailed point cloud data while four panoramic cameras provide rich visual context. Real-time scanning feedback lets operators monitor coverage and SLAM status in the field, helping ensure complete, reliable datasets before leaving the site.
Key Features
- Survey-grade handheld capture – Delivers high-quality spatial data with point cloud accuracy of 5 mm in NavVis' dedicated 500 m² test environment.
- Advanced SLAM technology – Combines a 32-layer LiDAR sensor with Visual Odometry for reliable mapping across complex and challenging environments.
- Live scanning feedback – Built-in touchscreen displays trajectory, data coverage, and SLAM status in real time, helping operators confirm capture completeness on site.
- Designed for challenging spaces – Ergonomic handheld design and supporting harness provide the mobility needed to capture narrow, confined, and difficult-to-access environments.
- Survey workflow integration – Supports physical control points measured with total stations and GNSS receivers, enabling dataset alignment and geo-registration to national or global coordinate systems.
- Connected NavVis workflow – Integrates with NavVis IVION Processing and NavVis IVION to move efficiently from field capture through processing, visualization, measurement, collaboration, and downstream deliverables.
Designed for Demanding Reality Capture
NavVis MLX is built for professionals who need greater detail and confidence while retaining the speed and freedom of mobile mapping. Typical applications include surveying, detailed as-built documentation, Scan-to-BIM, architecture and engineering, construction, industrial facilities, infrastructure, and complex interior environments. Its handheld form factor is particularly valuable for confined spaces, stairways, mechanical areas, and other locations where larger scanning systems can be difficult to maneuver.
From Capture to Deliverable
Paired with NavVis IVION Processing and NavVis IVION, NavVis MLX provides an integrated workflow for transforming captured environments into actionable spatial data. Teams can process, access, measure, share, and collaborate around reliable as-is and as-built information while integrating point clouds and imagery into established surveying, CAD, and BIM workflows.
