MaxSHOT - 3D Optical Coordinate Measuring System
In combination with other Creaform technologies, the MaxSHOT 3D adds accuracy for larger parts and increases the speed of photogrammetry workflows for projects of any complexity. Creaform’s MaxSHOT 3D™, a photogrammetry optical coordinate system, is a game changer for product development, manufacturing, quality control and inspection teams. It is the ideal solution to achieve the highest measurement accuracy and efficiency for large-scale projects and parts from 2 to 10 m. Imagine obtaining accuracy levels better than 0.015 mm/m. Gain peace of mind knowing that your measurements are always right on the dot.
Elevate your measurement speed and accuracy on large parts
What’s more, thanks to sophisticated, proven user guidance technology and easy-to-use software, technicians of all levels—even non-metrology experts— can use the MaxSHOT 3D. Contrary to traditional photogrammetry, the MaxSHOT 3D features automatic feedback before final measurements captured. Never take a bad image again!
If you consistently work on large-scale projects, the MaxSHOT 3D is your go-to solution to slash budgetbusting measurement mistakes, improve product quality, increase process efficiency, and minimize overall operating costs.
