# LightYX

> LightYX makes BeamerOne™, a laser-guided construction layout and 3D scanning tool that projects BIM/CAD drawings full-scale onto jobsite floors, walls, and ceilings — replacing tape measures and chalk lines to speed up layout and reduce rework.

LightYX (founded 2018) serves general contractors and trade specialists (drywall, steel, MEP, concrete, ceilings, façade, prefab) across the US and Europe. BeamerOne is operated by one person, projects at up to 1/8"–1/16" accuracy, and supports 3D scanning for QA and as-built documentation.
