SIMSCAN 42 Portable 3D Scanning System

SHORT SUMMARY 

The SIMSCAN 42 TestBed is a portable, high-precision 3D scanning system designed to support experimentation, validation, and deployment of advanced metrology, reverse engineering, and digital inspection processes. Its compact handheld design (570 g), dual-camera blue-laser scanning technology, and acquisition rate of up to 2.8 million points per second enable accurate digitisation in constrained and complex environments.
With an accuracy of up to 0.020 mm, the system supports applications such as quality control, rapid prototyping, and digital model generation from physical objects. It enables the acquisition and processing of high-resolution point-cloud data for industrial and research use.
The TestBed provides a controlled and accessible environment for Proof-of-Concept activities, process validation, and training in 3D scanning and digital manufacturing workflows. It supports DeepTech applications in 3D data acquisition and processing and aligns with Industry 5.0 principles by enabling precise and efficient interaction between physical and digital systems.
