NavVis IVION and LX-Series Reality Capture

NavVis is a reality capture company founded in 2013, with a press release datelined Munich, Germany. It addresses the need for accurate, up-to-date digital records of buildings, plants and construction sites for surveying, construction, manufacturing and process industries.

Its SLAM-based mobile scanners, the LX-Series including CLX, MLX and VLX, capture spaces, and the IVION software processes the data into web-accessible digital twins. IVION supports scan-to-BIM, model validation, site assessment, construction verification and asset tagging. The company says IVION holds over two billion square meters of captured space.

• LX-Series scanners: CLX, MLX and VLX handheld and mobile capture devices.
• Dual LiDAR on CLX: two sensors for fuller capture and stable SLAM tracking.
• IVION platform: web-accessible digital twins from scan data.
• Scan-to-BIM: model creation and validation at several LOD levels.
• Construction verification: compares as-built data with design.
• Integrations: TopoDOT and Autodesk Revit.

As-built documentation of existing factories before expansion or retrofit. Scan-to-BIM for older office buildings entering facility management. Construction progress verification against BIM on large projects.

Handheld capture lets small teams scan occupied and hard-to-reach spaces quickly. CLX gives live 2D and 3D coverage feedback to find gaps before leaving site. Point clouds stream into Revit for scan-to-BIM work. ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and TISAX are listed on the company site.

Owners and contractors increasingly need as-built digital twins for renovation, facility management and quality control. Vietnam factory, data center and building retrofit projects can use scan-to-BIM to document existing conditions.

Founded 2013, Munich dateline. NavVis CLX launched 1 September 2026, with public debut planned at INTERGEO 2026. Certifications listed: ISO 9001, ISO 27001, SOC report and TISAX. Customer examples include Intertek and ExxonMobil case content.
