3D scanner MetaCam

measurementLIDARfor surveying

Overview The MetaCam Air 2 integrates a tightly coupled multi-sensor unit and AI-driven SOTA-SLAM to produce high-accuracy point clouds in multiple formats. Its compact, handheld form factor enables rapid deployment and scanning on the move while providing real-time visual feedback for on-site quality control.

Key highlights

• Ultralight handheld: 619 g
• Compact body for instant deployment and mobile scanning
• AI-driven SOTA-SLAM for stable mapping in feature-sparse and complex environments
• < 1 cm relative accuracy and < 1 cm point cloud thickness
• Real-time color preview with full coverage for on-site QA
• Intensity Mode and Colorized Mode (dual visualizations)
• Improved field productivity — up to 5× efficiency gains
• TimeSync 3.0: microsecond-level hardware synchronization across sensors
• Tightly coupled advanced multi-source fusion with strong self-correction

SOTA-SLAM and Accuracy The SLAM system is trained on extensive real-world data to deliver engineering-grade results. Users obtain clean, reliable point clouds with centimeter-level relative accuracy and minimal point cloud thickness directly from the field.

Modes, Outputs and Reconstruction

• Real-time point cloud preview on device
• Exports high-accuracy point clouds in multiple formats for downstream processing
• 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for immersive photorealistic reconstruction with measurable spatial detail

Smart Scan Resumption (large-scale projects)

• Extended operation: resume exactly where a session stopped to avoid battery/session limits
• Flexible workflows: plan large scans across multiple sessions and segments
• Automatic merging: one-step merge and automatic alignment in MetaCam Studio (no manual registration)

Software ecosystem

• MetaCam Go (APP): real-time preview, on-site quality checks, device status monitoring
• MetaCam Studio (PC): one-click point cloud processing with optimization, editing and multi-format export
• MetaCam Cloud: cloud-based point cloud processing and 3DGS rendering with online preview for collaboration

Feature demonstrations & visualization The product page shows intensity vs colorized modes, TimeSync and multi-source fusion, extended operation demos, automatic merging workflow, and 3DGS reconstruction examples illustrating real scan results and deliverables.
