DIALux and Metaroom® tie up to to Enhance Efficiency in 3D Modeling for Lighting Design
Imagine instantly scanning a space with your smartphone, selecting luminaires from almost all international leading lighting manufacturers and designing your perfect lighting. Thanks to a new partnership between Metaroom by Amrax and DIALux by DIAL. This new feature will be available with the DIALux evo 13 release in a few weeks.
Simplifying Spatial Design
Metaroom, a leader in 3D modelling and spatial data capture, has teamed up with DIALux to simplify the lighting design process. This collaboration allows users to transfer 3D scan data from Metaroom’s solution directly into DIALux evo, creating precise and detailed lighting designs.

Effortless Scanning with Advanced Technology
With the Metaroom app, you can scan rooms in just minutes using any Apple Pro device equipped with a LiDAR sensor. These scans can then be imported into DIALux, where you can explore different lighting options to find cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable solutions. The process is quick and intuitive, allowing for true-to-scale 3D models that can be customized for each project.
With the integration of Metaroom, the task of constructing geometry in DIALux is eliminated, saving significant time when designing and placing luminaires. You can scan, plan, and export your results as IFC models to any CAD program.

Martin Huber, CEO of Amrax, explains, “Advances in 3D modelling, software and AI are combining to democratise design. Lighting designers and electrical planners now have access to powerful tools that significantly enhance efficiency, enabling them to serve more customers in less time. This is going to lead to a revolution in how buildings are designed and how we all interact with our built environment. Partnerships between cutting edge solutions like Metaroom and DIALux are key to powering this change. By creating an extensive ecosystem of lighting design solutions, we will significantly improve accessibility, reduce costs and bring spatial design to the mainstream.”
Dieter Polle, CEO of DIAL, adds, “Our extensive inernational user base of electrical planners, lighting designers, architects and many others often doesn't have a 3D model to work with when starting a project. The first step usually involves manually creating the 3D geometry, ideally using 2D plans, which can be time-consuming. Now, instead of that, you can simply grab your smartphone, scan the room, and start planning directly in DIALux. By integrating Metaroom into DIALux, we have made life easier for light planners. And technologically we followed our Open BIM strategy.”
Join the Community
Over 7,300 Metaroom users, including key players in the lighting, wireless planning, and AEC industries, have already registered through the Metaroom app and joined Amrax’s B2B ecosystem for spatial design and 3D modelling. This partnership offers new possibilities for innovative, sustainable, and efficient design.
Download the Metaroom app, compatible with all LiDAR-enabled Apple devices (starting from iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Pro 2020 generation devices). Even if your device lacks LiDAR functionality, you can still view shared 3D models on any iOS device.
