Introduction

Portable Optical CMMs Designed for Modern Manufacturing

The MetraSCAN 3D family has been developed to deliver fast, accurate and reliable 3D measurement in real manufacturing environments. Combining a handheld scanner with the C-Track optical tracking system, MetraSCAN enables manufacturers to inspect parts directly on the shop floor without compromising metrology-grade accuracy.

Unlike traditional measurement systems, MetraSCAN is insensitive to vibration, temperature changes and part movement, allowing quality teams to inspect everything from precision-machined components to large assemblies where they are produced. The result is faster decision-making, reduced downtime and greater confidence in every measurement.

For even greater flexibility, the MetraSCAN 3D family can also be integrated with the HandyPROBE for complete tactile and non-contact inspection within a single workflow. With the introduction of the new MetraSCAN BLACK2, users also benefit from enhanced inspection flexibility through stand-alone scanning, intelligent setup assistance and expanded measurement capabilities.

Every MetraSCAN 3D system is powered by Creaform.OS™, providing an intuitive user experience and access to the Creaform Metrology Suite™ for inspection, Scan-to-CAD, reverse engineering, automation and dynamic tracking.

Highly accurate measurements

Accuracy You Can Trust

The MetraSCAN 3D family delivers ISO-certified accuracy in real manufacturing environments, providing reliable measurement results regardless of vibration, temperature changes or part movement. Dynamic referencing technology continuously compensates for environmental instability, allowing quality teams to inspect directly on the shop floor with confidence.

With scanning speeds of up to 2,800,000 measurements per second on the new MetraSCAN BLACK2, manufacturers can capture high-quality data faster than ever while maintaining exceptional accuracy across components of all sizes.

Reliable Shop-Floor Inspection

Dynamic Referencing & Auto Alignment

Unlike conventional measurement systems, the MetraSCAN 3D family automatically tracks the position of both the scanner and the part throughout the inspection process. This intelligent dynamic referencing technology compensates for movement in real time, reducing the effects of vibration, operator movement and changing environmental conditions.

Automatic alignment simplifies inspection workflows, reducing setup time and helping operators achieve accurate, repeatable results with minimal manual intervention.

Scan Challenging Surfaces

Scan More. Prepare Less.

The MetraSCAN 3D family uses advanced blue laser technology to capture accurate data from a wide range of surface finishes, including reflective and shiny materials, with little or no surface preparation required. This helps reduce inspection time while maintaining high-quality scan data across demanding applications.

The new MetraSCAN BLACK2 increases productivity further with 46 blue laser lines, enabling faster data capture and more efficient inspection of large or complex components.

Maximum Inspection Flexibility

Portable, Flexible & Built for Production

Designed for complete portability, the MetraSCAN 3D family enables manufacturers to inspect components wherever they are produced, from small precision parts to large assemblies. The lightweight handheld scanner and optical tracking system provide the freedom to measure without the limitations of fixed measurement volumes.

With the introduction of stand-alone scanning on the MetraSCAN BLACK2, users gain even greater flexibility when inspecting confined spaces or areas where C-Track visibility is limited, helping quality teams adapt to a wider range of inspection tasks.

Three Integrated Inspection Modes

One System. Three Ways to Inspect.

The MetraSCAN 3D family adapts to the way you work through three integrated inspection modes. Use C-Track Mode for fast, high-accuracy inspection of parts of almost any size, Stand-alone Mode on the MetraSCAN BLACK2 for greater freedom in confined spaces, or combine the system with the HandyPROBE for complete tactile and non-contact dimensional inspection, all within a single workflow.

Regardless of the inspection mode, every MetraSCAN 3D system is powered by Creaform.OS™, bringing all measurement workflows together through a single intuitive platform. Combined with the Creaform Metrology Suite™, users can seamlessly move from data capture to inspection, Scan-to-CAD, automation and dynamic tracking without changing software.

The Latest Evolution

What’s New with the MetraSCAN BLACK2?

Building on the proven performance of the MetraSCAN BLACK+ family, the new MetraSCAN BLACK2 introduces intelligent features designed to improve productivity and inspection flexibility. Stand-alone scanning, Setup Assistance Tools, Automatic Volume Extension, Automatic Shutter and up to 2.8 million measurements per second help manufacturers complete inspections faster while maintaining ISO-certified accuracy across large and complex parts.
