NavVis CLX is an agile handheld laser scanner purpose-built for high-volume, everyday documentation, enabling operators to rapidly capture and deliver reliable spatial data at scale when simplicity and ROI matter.
Product features
Reliable, complete data capture: Dual LiDAR architecture combined with live visualization and coverage feedback helps users validate capture completeness on site, reducing uncertainty and minimizing costly revisits.
Simple to learn, operate, and scale: Fast to learn, easy to deploy, and optimized to scale. An integrated screen with live 2D/3D feedback and streamlined workflows simplify onboarding new operators and deploying across teams of all skill levels.
For the real world: Lightweight, ergonomic, and flexible to use across varied environments. The compact form factor, optional harness, and support for hands-free operation help users work efficiently in occupied, confined, or hard-to-reach spaces.
Trusted, high-quality data: Produces clean, low-noise, structured point cloud data suitable for documentation, measurement, and modeling workflows. The result is reliable, documentation-grade output that reduces cleanup effort and supports efficient downstream CAD/BIM production.
Purpose-built: Designed for repeatable, high-frequency workflows such as area referencing, site assessment, quantity surveying support, and LOD200 Scan-to-CAD/BIM. NavVis CLX enables teams to capture and deliver more projects with the same resources while maintaining consistent documentation quality.
Efficiency beyond capture: Supported by NavVis IVION and IVION Processing, NavVis CLX provides a streamlined workflow from capture to processing and data access, helping teams move faster from site visit to deliverable.

FAQ
What exactly is NavVis CLX?
NavVis CLX is a handheld reality capture device designed for everyday documentation across a range of environments and skill levels. Its lightweight and adaptable design enables easy handling and supports frequent capture of multiple sites, including hard-to-reach or confined spaces.
What project types and environments is NavVis CLX best suited to?
NavVis CLX is optimized for small to medium-sized indoor environments and their immediate outdoor surroundings, typically from around 100 to 2,000 m², across residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. While it's not designed as a dedicated façade or long-range outdoor scanning device, its compact, flexible design makes it well suited to a wide range of everyday documentation tasks.
How is NavVis CLX different from NavVis MLX and VLX? When should I choose one over the other?
NavVis CLX is the smallest and most affordable device in the NavVis LX-Series, designed for reliable, high-volume everyday documentation. Its data quality is ideal for LOD200 BIM and CAD modeling, with a focus on portability, ergonomics, and straightforward operation.
Choose NavVis CLX for frequent documentation tasks such as site assessments, area and quantity surveying, and LOD200 Scan-to-CAD/BIM. For projects that require greater detail or precision, including LOD300+ applications, NavVis MLX and VLX are the stronger fit. Rather than defining the right device simply by site size or complexity, each device is optimized for different project requirements, so teams can choose the right tool for each job.
What accuracy can I expect from NavVis CLX?
NavVis CLX delivers colorized point clouds and panoramas optimized for LOD200 documentation and area-referencing workflows. You can process point clouds at resolutions of up to 5 mm to suit different project needs. Processed data delivers accuracy of up to 8 mm.
What does the capture workflow look like in practice, and how long does it take a team to learn?
NavVis CLX is designed for straightforward operation with minimal training. The lightweight handheld device (approximately 1.8 kg) is comfortable for 10–20 minute unsupported capture sessions, with an optional harness for longer scans. Built-in 2D and 3D live coverage feedback helps operators see what they've captured as they go. With an understanding of dynamic scanning principles, such as loop closures, new operators can start capturing within minutes.
Can NavVis CLX be used alongside our existing NavVis devices on the same project?
Yes. NavVis CLX is designed to complement NavVis MLX and VLX within the same project or device fleet. Teams can choose the right device for different areas or requirements of a project, using NavVis CLX for everyday documentation while relying on NavVis MLX or VLX where higher levels of detail or precision are required.
How does NavVis ensure data security and privacy?
Security and privacy are built into every NavVis product and service.
Data storage: IVION stores data in the Amazon AWS server location you select when you create your instance. All hosting locations are highly scalable to support variable load, so you get a stable, performant service globally.
Monitoring: Automated monitoring and alerting proactively support customers where needed.
Access management: IVION includes granular, flexible access and user management, so instance administrators can grant or revoke access to data held in the instance.
Penetration testing: External companies run four rounds of penetration testing on IVION each year to look for vulnerabilities in the software and infrastructure.
Encryption: NavVis encrypts all data at rest, regardless of sensitivity, for a uniform layer of security across all NavVis cloud products.
Secure development: NavVis follows a Secure Development Policy that covers the full software development and test lifecycle, so NavVis products continue to meet its security standards.
External audits: NavVis undergoes regular assessments from external auditors to confirm its practices align with industry standards.
