Answers about the Lazorex 2D measurement system and the Lazorex Studio cloud platform. Choose a product to find the information you need.
Lazorex measurement devices and software products can work together or be used as standalone solutions.
Lazorex 2D captures accurate geometry on site. The project can then continue in Lazorex Studio — design the product, calculate the price, work with real slabs, nesting and production. Studio can also receive geometry from other sources.

What is Lazorex 2D?
Lazorex 2D is a professional system for accurate 2D measurement of objects. It consists of a laser measurement device and the Lazorex App mobile application. The device measures distance and direction to a selected point, while the app calculates its coordinates and builds the drawing. Instead of a simple set of measurements, you get usable 2D geometry with contours, side lengths, angles, diagonals and area.
What is Lazorex 2D designed for?
It is designed for professional measurement tasks where an accurate drawing matters, not just individual dimensions: rooms, kitchens, niches, walls, openings, stairs, countertops, stretch ceilings, interior, furniture and production tasks. It is especially useful when you need verifiable geometry immediately on site, want to reduce manual redrawing and check dimensions before leaving.
Is Lazorex 2D intended for home use?
Lazorex 2D is designed for professional use. It is not a consumer laser tape measure or a simple distance meter. The system is intended for professionals and companies that regularly perform measurements and work with drawings. For a one-time home renovation, this type of equipment is usually unnecessary.
What is included with Lazorex 2D?
The basic kit includes the Lazorex device, a tripod and access to the Lazorex App. The final configuration may depend on the product version, accessories, destination country and order conditions. It is best to confirm the exact kit before purchasing.
How is Lazorex 2D different from a laser distance meter?
A laser distance meter measures individual distances, which normally have to be transferred manually into a sketch or CAD program. Lazorex works differently: every measured point becomes part of the drawing. The device sends distance and direction data, while the app calculates the point coordinates and adds them to the overall contour. A distance meter gives dimensions; Lazorex builds geometry.
What data does the device measure?
The device measures two main parameters: the distance to the selected point and the laser direction to that point. Based on this data, the app calculates X/Y coordinates, connects the points into contours and calculates side lengths, angles, diagonals, area and perimeter.
How does a drawing emerge from measured points?
The operator selects the required points and aims the laser at them one by one. After every measurement, the app receives the data, calculates the point coordinates and places the point on the drawing. As the points are connected, the object contour appears on screen, with sides, angles, diagonals and control dimensions visible immediately.
Can I get the drawing directly on site?
Yes. The drawing is created in the app while the measurement is being performed. You can check the contour on site, compare dimensions and diagonals, find incorrect points and remeasure them before leaving the site.
Does Lazorex 2D perform 2D or 3D measurement?
Lazorex MR101-2D performs accurate 2D measurement in the plane of device rotation. Its purpose is to obtain verifiable, usable 2D geometry. It is not a 3D scanner and does not create a point cloud. Additional parameters such as heights can be added to the 2D geometry through software when required.
What accuracy does Lazorex 2D provide?
Practical drawing accuracy is intended for professional room and working-contour measurements and is around ±2 mm when the device is correctly installed and measurement conditions are normal. Final accuracy also depends on tripod stability, aiming precision, surface type, distance to the point and correct measurement procedure.
What affects measurement accuracy?
Accuracy is affected by tripod or pole stability, aiming precision, measurement distance, the laser incidence angle, surface type and the position of the device in the selected plane. Dark, glossy, metallic or mirrored surfaces can be more difficult to measure. Target stickers can be used in such cases.
Does the device need to be level?
Yes, when you are building a horizontal plan of a room or object. Lazorex MR101-2D measures points in the device's rotation plane. If that plane is tilted, the drawing can become distorted. The device should therefore be installed securely and levelled.
Can Lazorex be used without a tripod?
No. For accurate coordinate construction, the device must be fixed on a tripod or telescopic pole. Hand-held measurement is not suitable, because even a small movement changes the coordinate system.
Can Lazorex be used outdoors?
Lazorex 2D is primarily designed for indoor measurement. Outdoor use is possible in dry, stable conditions. Poor laser visibility, strong wind, unstable positioning, rain or difficult surfaces can reduce accuracy.
Can the device be moved if some points are not visible from one position?
Yes. If the whole object cannot be seen from one position, the device can be moved and measurement can continue. First, the visible part is measured. The device is then repositioned and referenced to points that have already been measured. The app can then continue building the drawing in the same coordinate system.
What if a corner is hidden behind furniture?
If a corner cannot be measured directly, accessible points on adjacent walls or lines can be measured instead. The hidden corner can then be reconstructed geometrically. This is useful when a corner is blocked by a cabinet, kitchen unit or appliance.
What happens if the device is accidentally moved?
If the device or tripod moves, the coordinate system is disturbed. Measurement should be stopped. You can either restart the measurement or restore the position using suitable previously measured reference points.
What does the Lazorex App do?
The app receives data from the device via Bluetooth, calculates point coordinates and builds the drawing on screen. You can work with projects, contours, dimensions, angles, diagonals and file export.
Which devices are compatible with Lazorex App?
Modern smartphones and tablets with Bluetooth Low Energy, running Android or iOS and with sufficient memory. Compatibility of a specific model should be confirmed before purchase.
Does Lazorex work without an internet connection?
Yes. Measurement and drawing creation are performed locally in the app. Internet access may be needed for installation, updates, file transfer or online services.
Which file formats can be exported?
Lazorex supports working formats including DXF, SVG, PDF, IFC and others, depending on the app version and workflow. The resulting geometry can be passed to CAD/BIM, design, estimating or production systems.
Can the drawing be opened in CAD/BIM software?
Yes. DXF is typically used for CAD workflows. IFC can be used for BIM workflows. The appropriate format depends on where the geometry will be used next.
Can DXF be used for production?
Yes. DXF can be used as the geometric basis for production. Depending on the manufacturing process, additional technological preparation may still be required: allowances, edges, radii, layers, contour validation and machine-specific requirements.
How is Lazorex different from manual measurement?
With manual measurement, a specialist usually leaves the site with dimensions, photos and a sketch that later need to be turned into a drawing. Lazorex immediately converts measured points into 2D geometry. The contour, dimensions, angles and diagonals can be checked before leaving the site.
How is Lazorex 2D different from 3D scanning?
3D scanning typically collects a large amount of spatial data and may generate a point cloud or full 3D model. Lazorex 2D solves a different task: the operator selects the points that matter and receives usable 2D geometry — contours, dimensions, angles and diagonals. The appropriate tool depends on the required result.
How quickly can Lazorex pay for itself?
The payback period depends on how many measurements you perform and how much time is currently spent on manual work: recording dimensions, checking them, redrawing, corrections and repeat site visits. For an initial estimate, use the ROI calculator .
How do I know whether Lazorex fits my workflow?
Start with your own workflow: what types of objects you measure, which file formats you need afterwards, what accuracy is required and where the drawing goes next. This shows where Lazorex can provide the greatest value — speed, geometry verification, less manual redrawing or fewer errors.
