Plain-language guides on XGRIDS rental, handheld SLAM LiDAR, Scan-to-BIM reference, and 3D Gaussian Splatting — written for Singapore project teams deciding whether to rent.
8 guides · Updated for 2026 · Educational, not a survey serviceThe complete starting guide — indicative pricing, the approval process, exactly what's included in the kit, and how to prepare your site so the rental week isn't wasted on setup.
What handheld SLAM LiDAR actually is, when renting beats buying, and how to choose a device for the job.
Capturing point cloud reference data for BIM workflows with a rented scanner — what to expect, and what stays with your modellers.
A practical guide to producing photorealistic 3DGS scenes with rented XGRIDS equipment.
How spatial datasets — point clouds, meshes, 3DGS scenes — can feed simulation, robotics, and AI training pipelines.
A plain-English guide to point clouds — what they are, how a handheld LiDAR scanner captures one, and the file formats you will meet.
The three main capture methods compared on accuracy, speed, cost, and what each is actually good for.
How handheld SLAM LiDAR makes 3D mapping fast — indoor, site, and corridor capture without a tripod.
Guides are educational. Suitability for a specific project depends on requirements, site conditions, and processing workflow.
Device and workflow comparisons live in their own tool — Lixel K2 against the K1, L2 Pro, Leica BLK360, Matterport, iPhone LiDAR, and handheld SLAM vs tripod scanning. Build a live side-by-side and read the best-fit guidance for each.
