Laser scanning for long-range capture or dual-direction coverage.

The Maptek XR3 mkII Scanners support specialised survey and monitoring workflows across large mining and civil environments. Two configurations are available: XR3 for extended range, and XR3-D for dual-direction acquisition.

XR3 mkII captures accurate spatial data at distances up to 2,800 metres, supporting long-range monitoring and large-scale survey workflows.

XR3-D mkII captures forward and rear scans from a single deployment, delivering up to 1,200 m forward range and 600 m dual-direction range for workflows that benefit from broader directional coverage.

Both scanners integrate with Maptek software for field capture, processing and analysis.

Overview

Common applications, operating priorities, and expected deliverables.

Built for
Specialised survey workflows

Large mining and civil projects requiring long-range scanning, repeatable monitoring and dependable spatial data capture.

Prioritise
Long-range spatial capture

Capture spatial data from extended distances where scanner placement is constrained or repositioning is less practical.

Enable
Flexible directional coverage

Use XR3-D to collect forward and rear data from a single deployment where broader coverage improves field efficiency.

Built for long-range survey capture or broader directional coverage.

XR3 supports accurate long-range scanning from fixed positions. XR3-D adds forward and rear acquisition for workflows that require broader coverage from a single scanner.

XR3 Laser Scanner
Long-range capture from fixed positions

Capture accurate spatial data from known scanner locations where distance, access or operating conditions make repositioning less practical.

XR3-D Laser Scanner
Forward and rear coverage from one setup

Use XR3-D to acquire data forward and rearward from a single deployment, improving efficiency in workflows that require coverage in multiple directions.
