Speed and accuracy combined with 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.

Discover how the MetraSCAN 3D is the ideal tool for quality control

Faster 3D scanning

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

Enhanced Accuracy on Large Parts

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.

Accuracy
0.025 mm (0.0009 in)

Automatic Volume Extension
0.025mm + 0.015mm/m (0.0009in + 0.00018in/ft)

Reliable acceptance tests
Based on VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 standard
Based on ISO 10360 standard
ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 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
Integrated photogrammetry

Optional HandyPROBE
Combination of both 3D scanning and probing
No targets required

New Setup Assistance Tools
Guidance volume display
High-level setup diagnostics
