MetraSCAN - Optical CMM 3D Scanners and Probe
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.
The most complete 3D scanners for metrology-grade measurements on all materials, MetraSCAN 3D is a powerful inspection solution that is insensitive to instabilities and harsh environments.
- Accuracy: 0.025 mm
- Resolution: 0.025 mm
The MetraSCAN 3D features 30 blue laser lines 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
30 blue laser lines - Ultra-quick setup
No warm-up time; users can be up-and-running in less than 5 minutes - 360° Magnetic Targets
For quick and easy setups
Optimized visibility for dynamic tracking
The AVE feature allows for automatic acquisition volume extension only by moving the C-Track, without requiring extra measurements. With its advanced integrated photogrammetry and scaling algorithms, the MetraSCAN 3D ensures more accurate, repeatable, and human-error-free measurements on large parts.
