Quick answer

Choose the Lixel K2 for most projects — it adds built-in RTK, longer range, larger coverage per scan and a native 3DGS path, making it the better all-rounder for mixed indoor-outdoor and building-scale work. Choose the Lixel K1 when you want the lightest, most compact handheld for smaller interiors, single-floor documentation, or when simplicity and weight matter more than range and georeferencing. Both are easy to operate and produce clean point clouds; the K2 is simply the more capable flagship, which is why it is Volumet’s featured rental.

Singapore context

The Singapore rental angle.

For most Singapore rental projects — renovation documentation, progress walks, Scan-to-BIM reference — the Lixel K2 is the device we recommend and stock first: built-in RTK, longer range and a 3DGS path cover the widest set of jobs. The K1 suits tightly-scoped compact interiors. The K2 rents from S$2,300 / week (dry, subject to approval) with pickup or delivery across Singapore.

Limitations and caveats
  • Accuracy depends on workflow, site conditions, control, processing, and operator experience.
  • K1 availability is subject to stock; the K2 is Volumet’s primary rental.
  • Specifications reflect typical published figures and may vary by firmware and configuration.
  • If your deliverable spec mandates a specific instrument class, confirm requirements before renting.

K2 vs K1, answered.

What is the main difference between the Lixel K2 and K1?
The K2 is the flagship: built-in RTK, longer range (up to 100 m), larger coverage per scan and a native 3DGS path. The K1 is lighter and more compact, aimed at smaller interior captures.
Does the K1 have built-in RTK like the K2?
No. RTK is standard and built in on the K2. The K1 relies more on control points for georeferencing, which matters most for outdoor or coordinate-tied work.
Which should I rent?
For most mixed or building-scale Singapore projects, the K2 is the better all-rounder and is our featured rental. The K1 fits tightly-scoped compact interiors where weight and simplicity matter most.
Can I get 3DGS from both?
The K2 has a native 3D Gaussian Splatting path from the same walk. 3DGS support on the K1 is more limited — confirm with us for your intended output.
