OverviewThe MetraSCAN 3D is a metrology-grade portable optical CMM scanner engineered for shop‑floor quality control and metrology labs. Its 3‑in‑1 architecture supports C‑Track dynamic referencing, stand‑alone scanning and combined probing (with HandyPROBE), enabling flexible deployment across production and lab workflows while maintaining accredited traceability.
Key features- Metrology‑grade accuracy with ISO/IEC 17025 traceability
- Three operating configurations: C‑Track mode, stand‑alone mode and probing mode (HandyPROBE compatible)
- Blue laser technology optimized for shiny and reflective surfaces—minimizes part preparation
- Dynamic referencing (self‑positioned and C‑Track) for stable accuracy over large volumes
- High‑resolution scans and live mesh visualization for immediate inspection feedback
- Target‑free scanning and high measurement throughput to accelerate scan‑to‑report workflows
- Expandable measurement volume via integrated photogrammetry and automatic volume extension
Applications- Dimensional inspection and first‑article inspection
- Quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) in production
- Assembly verification, tooling validation and MRO
- Deformation analysis and reverse engineering (scan‑to‑CAD)
- On‑site shop‑floor inspections and metrology lab workflows
Operating modes- C‑Track mode: fast setup with dynamic referencing for parts of any size
- Stand‑alone mode: quick checks in confined or complex areas without line‑of‑sight limits
- Probing mode: combined scanning and tactile probing when used with HandyPROBE
Advantages- Reliable metrology performance on the shop floor—insensitive to vibrations and part movement
- Real‑time mesh visualization and guided acquisition for efficient data capture
- Target‑free scanning shortens setup and reduces Fixturing requirements
- High measurement rates and instant mesh generation speed inspection and reporting
- Modular add‑ons and automation kits available for production integration
