ScanTech Released New Metrology-grade TrackScan 3D System

[3D-ScanTech]

As an innovative 3D technology company, ScanTech (www.3d-scantech.com) insists on our mission to convey revolutionized 3D solutions in quality control, reverse engineering, product development, etc.

At the end of Nov., ScanTech launched an industrial 3D measurement device TrackScan 3D system, it is composed of TrackScan-P22 3D scanner, optical tracker sensor E-Track and handheld CMM T-probe. The three things together make up the top complete portable metrology solution to the market.

TrackScan 3D system (https://www.3d-scantech.com/product/tra ... 3d-system/) delivers a high-precision 3D solution without markers. In combination with 3D laser scanning technology and flexible probing function, it offers rapid and accurate data collection of overall size and key features.


7 Features of TrakScan 3D System
- The optical tracking technology allows high accuracy 3D scanning solution without markers, delivering easy-operation, time-effective and labor-saving.


- Portable CMM
For special requirements, such as hole, edge and cylinder inspection, using portable CMM T-Probe enables high-accuracy measurement and 0.030 mm of single point repeatability.


- Two Laser Sources in One Scanner
The red laser scan mode performances high flexibility and efficiency, and the blue laser mode easily captures extreme details with 0.020 mm resolution.


- Composite Positioning
TrackScan 3D system supports camera tracking and marker tracking modes. In the blind area of E-Track, the scanner can recognize the markers to keep working in narrow space, such as the cockpit and car interior dashboard.


- Dynamic Reference
Benefitting from dynamic reference function, the TrackScan 3D system can work normally during part’s position shifting or E-Track movement.


- Extendable Measuring Volume
The measuring volume is dynamically extended by adjusting the positions of the E-Track, meanwhile, the accuracy still gets maintained.


- Integrated Design
The integrated design makes the TrackScan-P22 sturdy and durable, regardless of environment instability, vibrations and thermal variations.


Featuring ScanTech’s 3D laser scanning technology of handheld 3D scanner (https://www.3d-scantech.com/3d-product/) and combining probing function for detecting difficult features, the TrackScan 3D system ensures highly-accurate 3D measurement for various 3D applications. It can work with Robot-Arm to provide the automatic 3D measurement solution for manufacturers.

Looks like the Creaform Metrascan

Yeah it will be ugly for the established manufacturers and arguably the providers once the chinese copies of terrestrial laser scanners start to permeate the market as well.

Already have thunk3d, prince3d, and now this metrascan rip-off out there for the handheld metrology side of things.

"Our R&D team developed series of 3D digital equipment with self-owned intellectual property rights such as handheld laser 3D scanner, composite 3D scanner, global 3D scanner, color 3D scanner, tracking 3D scanner and global photogrammetry system. Especially PRINCE series with capability of capturing extreme details and AXE series with high volumetric accuracy are global innovations, gaining great attention and recognition in the 3D digital field."

From their website they claim self developed tech for their products.

In reality it looks a lot like creaform hired a sketchy intern or an engineer/consultant, or left a server unsecured. Maybe they also attempted to set up a production operation in china and lost their IP through that process.
