Lixel K2 rental in Singapore: price, specs, and what a week includes.

The short answer: Volumet rents the Lixel K2 handheld SLAM LiDAR scanner in Singapore at S$2,300 per week (GST-exclusive), with a two-day minimum rental, optional guided onboarding, and island-wide pickup or delivery. It is a rental, not a scanning service: you capture the data yourself, and every point cloud, mesh, and 3DGS scene you produce is yours to keep. This guide covers the price, the specs that matter on site, what a rental week actually includes, and the cases where you should rent something else.

What is the Lixel K2?

The Lixel K2 is XGRIDS’ flagship handheld SLAM LiDAR scanner. Instead of scanning from fixed tripod stations, you walk the site at near-normal pace while the device builds a colourised point cloud in real time, capturing 200,000 points per second from a unit that weighs roughly 1.2 kg. Built-in RTK georeferences outdoor captures, 512 GB of onboard storage covers multi-day projects, and hot-swappable batteries run about 1.5 hours each, so capture does not stop to charge.

For teams searching for XGRIDS hardware in Singapore, this is the practical entry point: weekly rental of the current flagship, without the five-figure purchase or the wait for procurement.

How much does a Lixel K2 rental cost in Singapore?

Pricing is deliberately simple: one weekly rate, one onboarding fee that depends on how you receive the kit, and a refundable deposit confirmed in the quote. All rates are in SGD and exclude GST.

Insurance may be required for some rental profiles, and every rental is confirmed case by case. For context across the fleet: the Lixel K1 rents at S$2,200 per week and the long-range Lixel L2 Pro at S$3,500 per week; the full line-up and live availability sit on the rental page. There are no hidden line items beyond the table above: the weekly rate, the onboarding option you choose, the refundable deposit, and GST at invoicing.

Lixel K2 specs that matter on site

• Relative accuracy: around 1 cm from SLAM capture.
• Absolute accuracy: 3 cm RMSE with the built-in RTK engaged.
• Point rate: 200,000 points per second, colourised in real time.
• Weight: roughly 1.2 kg, one-handed for full capture sessions.
• Power: hot-swappable batteries at about 1.5 hours each.
• Storage: 512 GB onboard.
• Outputs: point cloud, mesh, and 3D Gaussian Splatting from a single walk.

Processing runs in LixelStudio for point clouds and meshes, with LCC CyberColor handling the 3DGS scenes. Both are part of the workflow a rental supports, and both are covered in onboarding. The practical consequence of these numbers: a mid-size commercial floor is usually a single walk, a full building is a day of planned routes rather than a week of tripod stations, and battery swaps rather than charging breaks set the rhythm of a capture day.

What does a rental week include?

A handover includes the scanner, batteries and charger, phone mount, storage, carry case, and capture and return checklists, confirmed item by item. Dry rental (equipment only) is available to teams with handheld SLAM experience, subject to approval. First-time teams should add guided onboarding: a session covering setup, capture technique, loop closures, file handling, and return requirements, at S$250 with self-pickup or S$400 with delivery included. Most teams capture usable data within an hour of onboarding.

Logistics are Singapore-wide: pickup or delivery is arranged per rental, CBD offices and industrial estates included. Mid-project extensions are usually possible subject to the booking calendar and are re-quoted on the same weekly basis.

The process itself is short. Send rental dates, project location, intended workflow, team experience, and pickup or delivery preference through the contact form; availability and terms come back within one business day. Once approval, deposit, and the rental agreement are settled, handover is typically possible within days, subject to the booking calendar. Deposits are returned promptly after a clean return check, which runs the same item-by-item checklist as the handover. Company, institutional, and serious project use is preferred, and Southeast Asia enquiries outside Singapore are considered case by case with adjusted logistics.

What deliverables do you walk away with?

Everything you capture. From a single K2 rental week, a team typically exports colourised point clouds in LAS, LAZ, E57, or RCP for measurement and BIM reference, meshes for design review, and 3DGS scenes for photorealistic walkthroughs. The renter keeps all captured data; Volumet does not retain or access it. If Scan-to-BIM is the end goal, the Scan-to-BIM rental guide covers the capture-to-Revit handoff in detail.

Lixel K2 vs Lixel K1, which should you rent?

The K1 rents S$100 per week cheaper at S$2,200 and suits indoor-first documentation and training use. The K2 adds built-in RTK for georeferenced outdoor work and the strongest output path in the range, including 3DGS. For mixed indoor-outdoor projects, or any capture that needs to land in real-world coordinates, the K2 is worth the difference; the K2 vs K1 comparison walks through the decision line by line.

Who should not rent the K2?

Honest scoping saves everyone a wasted week. If your specification calls for survey-grade tolerances, certified deliverables, or verification work where millimetres matter, a handheld SLAM scanner is the wrong tool: rent the Leica BLK360 G2 terrestrial scanner (S$2,800 per week) instead, and read the K2 vs BLK360 comparison before deciding. If the goal is marketing-style virtual tours rather than measurable geometry, the Matterport Pro3 (S$2,000 per week) may fit better; the K2 vs Matterport comparison on the compare pages covers that split. And for corridor-scale or long-range outdoor work, the L2 Pro is the stronger handheld.
