3.1 General
Thank you for purchasing STONEX® X150 3D Laser Scanner.
This manual includes important safety directions and instructions for setting up and using the product.
Please read this manual carefully before using, so that our products can serve you better.
When you begin to use the product, we assume that you are a competent user who has read through and
understood the contents of this manual and is fully aware of the necessary dangers, warnings, and
cautions.

X150 3D Laser Scanner provides a simple and quick way to obtain 3D point cloud data of objects, outdoor
or indoor, significantly improving work efficiency and speed.
Laser scanning is an automatic process during which real objects are surveyed and sampled almost
completely to determine their location, size, orientation, and shape.
Thanks to its Lidar sensor, X150 can collect quick, accurate scans in 45 seconds to less than 4 minutes. Its
lightweight makes it perfect for multiple easy scans over the scene.
