Laser scanner MetraSCAN 3D

3Dfor NDTfor measuring

Overview
The MetraSCAN 3D optical CMM scanner line-up is designed for on‑shop‑floor metrology and manufacturing inspection. It provides metrology‑grade 3D scanning and dimensional inspection while tolerating shop‑floor vibrations, part movement and environmental instability. Combined with the HandyPROBE, it enables integrated scanning and probing workflows for complete inspection processes.

Key features

• High measurement rate: 1,800,000 measurements/second
• Light source: 30 blue laser lines (plus 1 extra line on some variants)
• Large scanning area suitable for various part sizes and shapes
• Ultra‑quick setup: no warm‑up time; operational in less than 5 minutes
• 360° Magnetic Targets for fast setups and optimized dynamic tracking visibility
• Insensitive to shop‑floor vibrations, part movement and environmental instability (dynamic referencing)
• Blue laser technology optimized for shiny and reflective surfaces
• Integrated photogrammetry and Automatic Volume Extension (AVE) for larger measurement volumes
• Optional HandyPROBE for combined scanning and probing workflows
• Included Creaform.OS software for acquisition and device control

Automatic Volume Extension & Accuracy
The AVE feature enables automatic acquisition volume extension by moving the C‑Track without requiring extra measurements. Advanced photogrammetry and scaling algorithms ensure accurate, repeatable results on large parts.

Performance & Standards

• Accuracy: 0.025 mm (0.0009 in)
• Automatic Volume Extension performance: 0.025 mm + 0.015 mm/m
• Measurement resolution: 0.025 mm
• Measurement rate: 1,800,000 measurements/second
• Acceptance testing based on VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360
• ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory for acceptance testing

Software & Ecosystem

• Creaform.OS included for acquisition and hardware‑software integration
• Creaform Metrology Suite™ available (Scan‑to‑CAD, Inspection, Automation, Dynamic Tracking modules)
• Compatible with common CAD and analysis software ecosystems

Add‑ons & Options

• HandyPROBE (optional) — handheld probing for PCMM capabilities
• Automation Kit (optional) — for robotized/automated deployments
• Portable workstation and C‑Track shop‑floor stand — turnkey shop‑floor setup tools

Applications
The MetraSCAN 3D is suited to product development, reverse engineering, quality control and assurance, maintenance/repair/overhaul (MRO), NDT applications and education/science.
