GX1
Emesent
The Emesent GX1 is a high-precision LiDAR instrument integrating sensitive optics, RTK hardware and imaging systems. GX1 enables organisations to capture accurate 3D spatial data across complex environments faster, with greater confidence and less operational friction than traditional survey methods.

Reimagining 3D Data Capture
Katapult worked closely with the Emesent team to design and deliver a cutting-edge product that performs at the highest level while visually expressing the quality and precision of a professional survey instrument.
GX1 has been engineered to be robust and resilient, capable of surviving demanding outdoor and underground environments. The main body is precision CNC-machined aluminium, minimising weight while efficiently dissipating heat from the internal electronics.
The result is a product that balances technical performance with refined industrial design.
Extending the Product Experience
For high-value field equipment, protection and portability are integral to performance.
Katapult designed a custom injection-moulded backpack system to safeguard the GX1 and its accessories in transit. The solution integrates with a lightweight carbon fibre harness, allowing operators to move freely across sites while scanning overhead.
The transition from transport to deployment is seamless. Every interaction has been considered to reduce friction, minimise setup time and support confident operation in demanding conditions.
Accelerating Survey Productivity
GX1 dramatically reduces survey time, in some cases compressing weeks of work into a single day. Complex scanning tasks that once required days can now be completed in hours, without sacrificing accuracy.
