Product summaryOptimScan Q12/Q9 HD is a high-precision 3D inspection scanner engineered for micron-level accuracy and faithful capture of intricate geometries. It integrates four high-resolution cameras with blue-LED grating projection to generate dense point clouds and is validated against metrology standards for traceable results.
Key features- Accuracy down to 0.004 mm (small range)
- Dual scan ranges configurable with one click
- Monocular-Stereo Fusion (MSF) to increase coverage and data integrity
- Single-shot capture < 1 s per acquisition
- Verified per VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab
Accuracy with certified metrology confidenceDesigned to exceed conventional fringe-projection limits, the system delivers micron-level fidelity for fine features and complex surfaces. Calibration and acceptance testing follow VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 standards in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited accuracy laboratory, ensuring traceability.
Effortless scan range switchingTwo scan ranges can be switched instantly and fused seamlessly in software to combine broad coverage with fine-detail scans.
- Large range: 220 × 150 mm
- Small range: 80 × 50 mm
Monocular-Stereo Fusion (MSF)MSF expands data coverage and improves integrity at corners, joints and occluded areas, reducing the need for supplementary passes.
Flexible operation modesThree modes adapt to inspection workflows:
- Manual: portable, operator-controlled scanning for on‑demand checks.
- Semi-automated: fixed tripod with automatic turntable (supports up to 20 kg in some configurations) for repeatable part inspection.
- Fully automated: robot integration for precise, repetitive in-line inspection and series measurement.
Dual-axis turntable (optional)Optional automatic dual-axis turntable enables multi-angle automated scanning (up to 3 kg for the specific accessory) and intelligent supplementary scans to capture missing data. System uses a dual-chip computing platform; each capture is < 1 s.
OptimScan software enhancementsPowerful, continuously updated OptimScan software with no hidden fees. Key features:

SHINING3D Inspect (optional)Modular inspection software that streamlines workflows from data acquisition to reporting. Suitable for dimensional inspection and quality control across industries; supports traceability and PTB-backed capability when applied.
Applications- Component dimension inspection (GD&T): precision-machined parts such as engine blocks, transmission housings, turbine blades, braking components — fast capture of high-density point clouds for tolerance analysis and CAD comparison.
- Stamped parts and sheet metal quality control: surface contour scanning for springback analysis and full-size inspection to detect minor defects and optimize tooling.
- Mold development and repair: scan worn injection or die-casting molds for reverse engineering, remanufacturing guidance and lifecycle comparison.
- Automated in-line inspection (robot integration): robot-mounted scanning for real-time inspection reports and production trend monitoring.
