Next-Generation Industrial Desktop 3D Scanner for QC

A new version of an industrial desktop 3D scanner from Exact Metrology is said to distinguish itself through its professional ultra-high precision designed to deliver industrial-scale quality scans in just one click. With a two-year warranty, features of the new Artec Micro include up to 10 microns accuracy, making it very well suited for quality testing of thermoplastics and reverse engineering. This model reportedly produces metrology-grade scans suitable for QC, while removing the need for targets on the scanned object.

Artec Micro’s advanced twin color cameras and blue LED lights are synchronized with the scanner’s dual-axis rotation system to create a digital copy of your object with a minimum of frames captured. Also, the unit’s Smart Scanning mode is said to capture every surface of the object in the least amount of time, using an ideal number of frames.  The company notes that a minimum amount of training is required with Micro, as the scanner is user-friendly and ready to set up quickly.

The scanner integrates with Artec Studio for real-time digital capture. Reportedly capable of delivering highly accurate scans, not only can Micro “see” well below the human visibility threshold of 40 microns, but its 3D measurements are said to be among the best in today’s cutting edge scanners, making it a perfect choice for inspection and more. Reverse engineering is completed with Artec Micro’s precise 3D measurement to digitally fit together legacy parts with those customers create, capturing even the smallest details that most scanners miss.

In minutes, Artec Micro transforms intricate items into CAD/CAM data for design, modification, 3D printing and casting. The result is said to be hours of saved time in the design and production of complex pieces.  The scanner also creates highly-detailed 3D models.
