Pocket 3D
Pocket 3D — a handheld 3D scanner for digitising real-world spaces
Pocket 3D is designed for scanning indoor spaces, industrial sites, structures and open areas. The scanner captures geometry while in motion and builds its trajectory using SLAM, so no external markers need to be set up beforehand.
The system creates 1:1 digital replicas of real-world spaces. With a compatible panoramic camera attached, a single scan delivers a coloured point cloud, panoramic images and a photorealistic 3DGS model. The data can also be used to build mesh and BIM models in third-party software.
Pocket 3D weighs 700 g without a camera. The scanner fits in one hand, runs for up to three hours at room temperature and is rated for operation from −20 to +50 °C. The SLAM GO POST Pro software is included as standard.
Well suited to first-time users too. The handheld form factor, straightforward start-up routine and plug-and-play camera connection make it easy to begin scanning without any complicated equipment setup. A smartphone attaches to the magnetic mount, and the mobile app lets you watch the scan progress in real time and check coverage of the site.

DJI Osmo 360A coloured point cloud, panoramic images and the 3DGS model require an external camera. The camera is purchased separately unless included in your chosen bundle.
Scan deliverables
- Point cloud — a measurable spatial structure of the site for analysis, measurements and further modelling.
- Panoramic images — a visual record of the site, referenced to the trajectory and the point cloud.
- 3DGS model — a photorealistic digital scene for virtual walkthroughs, presentations, digital twins, film, games and AI simulations.
- Mesh model — a triangulated mesh for visualisation and further editing in third-party professional software.
- BIM model — an engineering model of structures and building services, created in third-party professional software.
SLAM GO POST Pro software
The SLAM GO POST Pro software is included with Pocket 3D and is designed for processing the data on a computer. The program can generate the point cloud, panoramas and the 3DGS model at the press of a single button.
- generation of high-accuracy point clouds;
- creation of photorealistic 3DGS models;
- stitching of high-resolution panoramic images;
- visualisation and review of results;
- measurements and annotations;
- batch processing and project management;
- merging of data from multiple passes;
- export of frames, their pose parameters and COLMAP data for third-party software.
Applications
Industry
Scanning of production halls, equipment and building services for refurbishment, inspection and the preparation of digital models.
Construction
Measured surveys, as-built condition capture and the preparation of source spatial data for subsequent BIM modelling.
Energy
Digital twins of substations and other assets for inspection, analysis and works planning.
Interiors and exhibition spaces
Full capture of large indoor spaces, virtual walkthroughs and visualisation of design proposals.
Cultural heritage
