3D scanner Creaform MetraSCAN 357

Introducing 3D scanner MetraSCAN 357 by Creaform – the fastest and most accurate 3D scanner and portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for on-site measurements, in all conditions and on all surfaces.

The line of optical CMM scanners MetraSCAN 3D is designed specifically for professional metrological control in production. This optical CMM scanner is built to perform highly accurate and reproducible metrology-grade measurements and 3D geometric surface checks.

Benefits of Creaform MetraSCAN 357

MetraSCAN 3D is able to work efficiently and quickly in any production environment. Vibrations in the shop, movement of parts, and environmental variability that affect the measurement results of other instruments are not a hindrance to MetraSCAN 3D. Thus, these devices are best suited for applications where there is no compromise on quality or efficiency.

Working in the toughest environments and on a wide variety of surfaces, it improves your quality control and reverse engineering processes. Together with the C-Track dual camera sensor, MetraSCAN BLACK constitutes a system for linking and tracking the position of the 3D scanner relative to the object being scanned. And when combined with HandyPROBE, a portable optical coordinate measuring machine (PCMM), creates a 3D scanning and measurement system that can be used for a wide range of metrology applications.

3D measurement performance

To speed up 3D scanning processes, MetraSCAN 3D projects 7 laser crossed lines. High-speed 3D scanning is achieved through fast setup and connection, real-time scanning, and fast ready-to-use files.

The speed of 3D scanning depends not only on the speed of measurements. It is influenced by a set of parameters: scanning area, number of laser lines, convenience and freedom of movement, allowing you to quickly scan the surface from different sides.

• High measurement speed – makes 800,000 measurements per second.
• Large scan area for all types of parts. The 3D scanner projects 7 laser crossed lines onto the surface, which provides it with excellent measurement performance.
• Building a grid in real time. Reduces the time between scanning and getting working files.
• Ultra-fast setup – get ready for work very quickly: the scanner is ready to work in just 5 minutes.

Impressive accuracy in all conditions

Because MetraSCAN 357 does not have any stringent measurement set-up requirements, it is well suited for “on the shop floor” use. It delivers accurate results regardless of the accuracy of the measurement setup and the experience level of the operator. With the C-Track optical tracker that provides dynamic referencing, the scanner, part, and optical tracker can move during inspection and still provide accurate measurements.

• Accuracy – 0.035 mm.
• Volumetric accuracy – 0.086 mm/m.
• Reliable acceptance testing. The 3D scanner is based on the VDI/VDE 2634 part 3 standard, giving more accurate and traceable measurements. Verified by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.
• Accuracy in the production environment with dynamic reference – measurement accuracy is insensitive to environmental instability. A high resolution. Measures all types of complex and detailed parts.

Unsurpassed versatility

The versatile MetraSCAN 357 can be used to scan parts of various sizes and surfaces in real time. It scans black or shiny parts of any shape, geometry and surface complexity without difficulty and without loss of accuracy.

• Blue laser technology. Thanks to the use of a blue laser, it is ideal for shiny and reflective surfaces.
• Large and easily expandable measurement volume. When scanning large surfaces with MetraSCAN 3D BLACK from different positions, you can be sure of high quality results.
• The optional HandyPROBE is a combination of 3D scanning and probing. Tags are not required.
