Speed and accuracy combined with the versatility
The MetraSCAN 3D optical CMM scanner line-up is specifically designed for manufacturing and metrology professionals who do not want to compromise on quality or efficiency. It can withstand any production environment, including shop floor vibrations, part movements, and environmental instability—all while accelerating 3D measurement workflows. This optical CMM scanner has been engineered to perform highly accurate and repeatable metrology-grade measurements and 3D geometrical surface inspections.
When paired with the HandyPROBE, Creaform’s handheld optical coordinate measuring machine (PCMM) with probing capabilities, users can also harness the power of both 3D scanning and probing for complete, end-to-end inspection processes.
Faster 3D scanning
The MetraSCAN 3D features 15 laser crosses and a high measurement rate to accelerate 3D scanning processes. Thanks to quick setup and onboarding, real-time scans and ready-to-use files, your 3D scanning workflow will never have been faster.
- High measurement rate
1,800,000 measurements/second - Large scanning area for all types of parts
15 laser crosses - Ultra-quick setup
No warm-up time; users can be up-and-running in less than 5 minutes
Impressive shop-floor accuracy
Free from any rigid measurement setup requirements, the MetraSCAN 3D is designed specifically for use on shop floors. It delivers accurate results, regardless of the measurement setup quality and user experience level. Thanks to the C-TrackTM optical tracker that enables dynamic referencing, the scanner, the part and the optical tracker can move during inspection and still provide accurate measurements.
- Accuracy
0.025 mm (0.0009 in) - Volumetric accuracy
0.064 mm (0.0025 in) - Reliable acceptance tests
Based on VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 standard
ISO 17025 accredited laboratory - Shop floor accuracy with dynamic referencing
Measurement accuracy insensitive to environmental instabilities
High resolution
Measures all types of complex and highly detailed parts
Unmatched versatility
Highly versatile, the MetraSCAN 3D can be used to scan various part sizes and surface finishes in real-time—all with the same device.
With its extendable measurement volume, parts of any shape, complexity, and geometry can be measured easily without loss in accuracy or requiring leapfrog.
- Blue laser technology
Ideal for shiny and reflective surfaces - Large and easily extendable measurement volume
Wider than other portable CMMs
No leapfrog required - Optional HandyPROBE
Combination of both 3D scanning and probing
No targets required
