T-SCAN 3 is the ideal scanning solution for a wide range of applications:

• Quality Control / Inspection
• Comparison to CAD data
• Boundary/edge extraction (measurement of sheetmetal parts)
• Serial inspection in production (manual/automated)
• Mold and Toolmaking
• Tool reconstruction
• Generation of milling tool parts
• Documentation of actual 3D data at tool release
• Design
• Scanning of design models for further processing of CAD data and documentation
• Rapid Manufacturing
• Acquisition of 3D data for Rapid Prototyping
• Reverse Engineering
• 3D Scanning
• Scanning of art/historical objects, archaeology
• Medical technical applications, etc.

Depending to the mobility requirements, T-SCAN 3 can be operated either with a 19" plug-in rack for PC and control device or with an extremely compact control unit and a high-performance notebook PC.

The handheld laser scanner T-SCAN 3 offers outstanding benefits for mobile use and delivers highly precise results for challenging measurement tasks such as production-related quality control. Through the adaptation of the laser scanner to an industry robot, fast and accurate automated measurement procedures for quality control are enabled.

• Fully automatic, efficient 3D digitization of large objects
• High accuracy
• Large measurement area
• Macro-controlled program run
• No object preparation necessary; measurement on objects with varying surface properties
• Automatic evaluation with common inspection software tools (e.g., Polyworks Inspector, Tebis)

T-SCAN 3 makes 3D digitizing exceedingly simple: With its light, well-distributed weight and its special cable guide, the compact, ergonomic handheld laser scanner is designed for maximum ease of use.

Besides its high temperature stability, the scanner features optimally oriented IR marker positions as well as enhanced calibration methods and algorithms that provide for excellent data quality. With its significantly increased sampling rate, the T-SCAN 3 is especially suited for all kinds of inspection applications.

During the scanning process, the captured data is displayed in real-time on the monitor - which ensures a particularly efficient workflow.

3D digitization of high gloss, black and shiny metallic surfaces or CFRP materials is possible without difficulties with the new, T-SCAN 3 hand scanner specially adapted to these requirements. The precise data acquisition of objects featuring extreme optical surface conditions is not influenced. The handheld laser scanner is now available in a special hardware version, delivering excellent measurement results for the most challenging applications.

Different handling systems are available for the positioning of the tracking camera to cover a wide application range. For applications requiring high mobility, an adjustable tripod can be used. With a special camera stand featuring lockable casters, a very flexible and though stable measurement set-up is available - the unit can easily be transported and assembled by one person. It is continuously adjustable in height and allows turning and tilting of the camera, and it additionally features an integrated weight compensation to ensure effortless handling.

The combined use of T-SCAN 3 with a touchprobe offers a flexible solution for the tactile and optical acquisition of 3D data, e.g., for the measurement of vehicle or workpiece coordinate systems.

3D digitization of high gloss, black and shiny metallic surfaces or CFRP materials is possible without difficulties with the new, T-SCAN 3 hand scanner specially adapted to these requirements. The precise data acquisition of objects featuring extreme optical surface conditions is not influenced by the adverse optical conditions of these surfaces. The handheld laser scanner is now available in a special hardware version, delivering excellent measurement results for the most challenging applications.

The T-SCANplus measuring and evaluation software (64-bit OS Windows XP64 compatible) leverages the latest hardware technology, such as dual or quad cores: By parallel processing and multithreading it minimizes the computing time for processing the 3D scan data.

Memory usage is streamlined, as the data is automatically rastered directly after the measurement. This offers users additional advantages through faster display and excellent data quality. With its accelerated post processing and the optimized generation of triangle meshes, T-SCANplus perfectly complements the scanner system for quickly and efficiently digitizing and then further processing the data.

The new T-SCANplus version is also optimally adapted to the Optotrak Pro optical tracking system for demanding high-accuracy applications.

The Dynamic Referencing function (using additional LED´s attached to the object) for scanner and touch probe reliably eliminates vibration and object movement during data acquisition, e.g. during 3D digitizing of the vehicle interior.
