3D Scanning Technology

The FreeScan X5 uses a 10-line laser array to capture dense 3D information from the surface of an object.

Its handheld design allows the operator to move around the component while continuously collecting scan data. The published 0.1 mm resolution and high scan rate make it suitable for capturing detailed geometry efficiently.

For larger components, the FreeScan X5 can be used with DigiMetric photogrammetry technology to improve volumetric accuracy over larger measurement volumes.
