Which scanners are compatible with MultiSet's E57 ingest?

MultiSet supports E57 files from Matterport (Pro2, Pro3), Leica (RTC360, BLK360 G2, BLK2GO, BLK2FLY), NavVis (VLX, M6), Faro (Focus, Orbis, Flash/Hybrid), and Xgrids (L2 Pro, K1). Any scanner that exports structured E57 with embedded panoramic images is compatible.

How long does it take to process an E57 file?

Most E57 files are typically processed and active within one hour of upload. Processing time depends on scan size and density. You can monitor map status in the MultiSet Developer Portal.

Do I need to rescan my existing spaces?

No. That is the core value of scan-agnostic ingest. If you already have E57 exports from any supported scanner, upload them directly. MultiSet preserves your original coordinate systems.

What is the maximum scan size supported?

There are no limtations on the size of the area per scan. A single E57 file can be 50 GB in size. For larger spaces, use MapSet to stitch multiple E57 scans across floors and buildings into one continuous map.

Can I combine E57 maps from different scanner brands?

Yes. MapSet lets you stitch maps from different scanners and even different input formats (E57 and Gaussian Splats and iOS Pro LiDAR) into a single deployment. Users localize seamlessly across all stitched maps.

What deployment options are available?

MultiSet supports public cloud, private VPC, self-hosted on-prem, and fully on-device deployment. All options include encryption in transit and at rest, enterprise identity management, and audit controls.

From E57 to Positioning & Tracking in Three Steps

Export

Export yourscan as a structured .e57 with embedded panoramic images. Works with Cyclone, SCENE, IVION, Lixel Studio, or MyMatterport. Zip the file if required.

Upload

Log into theMultiSet Developer Portal. Select your scanner type. Drag and drop the .e57file. The platform auto-detects the source format and begins processing. Maps are typically active within an hour.

Localize & Build

Query it via REST API, Unity SDK, native iOS/Android, WebXR, or Meta Quest. Pin XR content with 5 cm median accuracy. Run shared sessions. Scale to campus-wide coverage with MapSet.
