Professional 3D Scanning Solutions for Industry
SCANOLOGY offers a comprehensive range of handheld 3D scanners designed for fast, accurate and reliable measurement. From reverse engineering large structures to inspecting complex components, these portable solutions help simplify demanding measurement tasks across a wide range of industrial applications.
With options available for different part sizes, accuracy requirements and working environments, the SCANOLOGY range supports quality inspection, product development, reverse engineering and manufacturing.
What objects are suitable for 3D scanning?
Almost any physical object with a stable shape and accessible surface can be 3D scanned. SCANOLOGY portable 3D laser scanners are suitable for objects ranging from small, complex components to large structures measuring several metres, including automotive and aerospace parts, engine pipes, stamped components, yachts and wind turbine blades.
The most suitable scanner depends on the object’s size, surface characteristics, geometric complexity and required measurement accuracy.
What is the difference between handheld, tracking, and automated 3D systems?
Handheld 3D scanners are portable systems operated by moving the scanner around the object. They offer flexibility for on-site measurement and are well suited to parts that are difficult to move or access, such as automotive components and pipelines.
Optical tracking 3D scanners use an external tracking system to determine the scanner’s position in real time, enabling marker-free scanning across a large measurement area. They combine speed with metrology-grade accuracy and are ideal for large objects such as aircraft components and wind turbine blades.
Automated 3D scanning systems integrate a 3D scanner with a robotic arm and intelligent control software to perform repeatable inspections with minimal operator involvement. They are best suited to high-volume production environments where consistent quality control and inspection are required.
What is the benefit of 3D laser scanners?
3D laser scanners capture the complete shape and dimensions of an object quickly and accurately. SCANOLOGY scanners can produce detailed 3D measurement data within minutes, with selected systems offering accuracy of up to 0.020 mm.
Compared with traditional measurement tools, 3D scanning captures significantly more surface data and helps identify complex features, dimensional variations and potential defects. The resulting data can support quality inspection, reverse engineering, product development and other measurement-based decisions.
Does SCANOLOGY offer training for using their 3D scanners?
Yes, SCANOLOGY provides comprehensive training sessions and support to help users maximize the potential of their 3D scanners. This includes setup, usage, and data processing tutorials.
How much experience do you need to operate a 3D scanner?
Many handheld 3D scanners are designed to be user-friendly, so extensive experience is not always required for basic scanning tasks. However, achieving accurate and reliable results requires an understanding of scanner setup, surface preparation, scanning technique, and data processing.
The level of training required depends on the scanner, application and accuracy requirements. The Lightwave team can help with system selection, setup guidance and training to support your scanning workflow.
