Pulsar ME450
Cost-Effective 3D LiDAR with Multiple Scanning Patterns
Configurable Repetitive & Non-repetitive Scanning | High-accuracy | Enhanced Interference Immunity
Price $549
Pulsar ME450 is an innovative dToF-based 3D LiDAR that supports multiple scanning patterns. It features a high-performance optical system that combines MEMS-based pitch scanning with motorized azimuth control, and emits 200 kHz laser pulses through a precisely engineered opto-mechanical design. It offers a maximum detection range of up to 45 meters at 90% reflectivity. This enables flexible switching between scanning patterns for use in robot navigation and obstacle avoidance, as well as in general-purpose laser scanning for surveying.
Switch Patterns, Not Devices
Pulsar ME450 redefines LiDAR flexibility through configurable multi-pattern scanning, paired with adjustable vertical FoV and rotational speed, to meet diverse 3D data acquisition requirements.
Meets the Demands of Any Scanning Task

Signal In, Noise Out
Pulsar ME450 achieves millimeter-level accuracy and precise localization for high-fidelity 3D reconstruction, along with reliable reflectivity detection and stable performance across complex materials and interference.
*Millimeter-level accuracy applies under typical indoor conditions—e.g., white walls within 30 m or 10% reflectivity targets within 10 m. In outdoor or long-range cases, error may exceed 10 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Pulsar ME450 is a cost-effective 3D LiDAR that supports multiple scanning patterns. It is based on direct Time of Flight (dToF) ranging and uses a high-performance optical system that combines MEMS-based pitch scanning with motorized azimuth control, emitting 200 kHz laser pulses. It offers a maximum detection range of up to 45 meters at 90% reflectivity, making it suitable for both robot navigation and obstacle avoidance and for general-purpose laser scanning for surveying.
The Pulsar ME450 offers configurable multi-pattern scanning, allowing you to switch patterns without changing devices. It supports non-repetitive scanning and repetitive scanning at several densities, including non-dense, 2x dense, and 4x dense modes. A single unit can meet a range of 3D data acquisition requirements.
The Pulsar ME450 achieves millimeter-level accuracy and precise localization for high-fidelity 3D reconstruction, with reliable reflectivity detection and stable performance across complex materials and interference. Millimeter-level accuracy applies under typical indoor conditions, for example white walls within 30m or 10% reflectivity targets within 10m; in outdoor or long-range cases, error may exceed 10mm.
Yes. The Pulsar ME450 is engineered to withstand vibration and shock and carries an IP67 dust and waterproof rating. It also provides ambient light immunity and crosstalk immunity in multi-device opposed-beam systems, which supports reliable operation where several units face one another or where strong ambient light is present.
The Pulsar ME450 is used across mobile robotics and industrial applications, including lawn mowers, forklifts, warehouse AMRs, and logistics vehicles. Its configurable scanning patterns let a single sensor serve both navigation and obstacle avoidance as well as surveying-style laser scanning.
The Pulsar ME450 is supported across the full Orbbec SDK suite. Orbbec Viewer provides LiDAR-focused preview and configuration, sharing the same SDK and tools used with Orbbec depth cameras across platforms, which simplifies development for teams already using Orbbec products.
The Pulsar ME450 is a multi-pattern 3D LiDAR that combines MEMS pitch scanning with motorized azimuth control and offers configurable repetitive and non-repetitive scanning with an IP67 rating. The Pulsar SL450 is a single-line LiDAR built around a rotating-mirror optical system with a 270 degree horizontal scanning angle and an IP65 rating. Both use dToF ranging and reach up to 45m, but they target different scanning needs.
