The OptimScan Q12 represents a new era of 3D scanning technology, bridging the gap between consumer-grade devices and aerospace-grade inspection systems. With unparalleled accuracy, flexibility, and workflow automation, this scanner is engineered for industries where microns matter.
Unmatched Precision for Demanding Industries
The OptimScan Q12 delivers five-micron accuracy with a point distance as fine as 0.04 mm. This level of precision makes it a go-to solution for aerospace, medical device manufacturing, automotive inspection, and energy sectors—applications where airtight tolerances and flawless part validation are critical.
Dual Scan Ranges for Flexible Applications
Equipped with four 12.3-megapixel cameras and a structured light projector, the scanner supports two modes:
- Precise Mode: Captures small parts at resolutions down to 0.04 mm.
- Wide Mode: Handles larger parts up to basketball size with 0.1–0.3 mm point distance.
This dual-scan system allows users to combine ultra-fine detail with broader geometry in a single workflow.
Advanced Structured Light Technology
Unlike laser-based scanners, the OptimScan leverages blue light structured projection to capture sharp edges, fine textures, and deep recesses. Technologies such as Monocular Stereo Fusion enable the scanner to capture cavities and features that would otherwise be hidden, ensuring complete and accurate data capture.
Streamlined Calibration and Workflow
Despite its complexity, calibration is designed to be simple and fast. A guided process positions the calibration board in seconds, achieving standard calibration in 5–6 minutes or quick calibration in under 2 minutes. Automated alignment tools, marker support, and real-time quality checks reduce setup time so engineers can focus on results.
Handling Challenging Surfaces with HDR Exposure
The OptimScan includes multiple exposure settings, similar to HDR photography. This allows accurate scanning of black, reflective, or multi-textured parts without repeated manual adjustments. The scanner automatically adapts exposures across surfaces, saving valuable time and ensuring reliable results.
Faster, Smarter Alternative to Contact Measurement
Compared to traditional coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) or Faro arms, the OptimScan captures millions of data points instantly. This eliminates the slow process of probing individual points and enables highly detailed models for reverse engineering or inspection. For engineers frustrated with manual tools, the OptimScan is a faster, more comprehensive solution.
Built for High-End Applications
With a price point starting around $50,000, the OptimScan Q12 is a serious investment tailored for professionals. Typical use cases include:
- Aerospace components requiring sub-10-micron tolerances.
- Medical devices demanding flawless part validation.
- Automotive inspection for high-precision components.
- Oil & gas equipment requiring detailed structural analysis.
Whether used on a tripod, turntable, or integrated into automated inspection systems, the OptimScan is designed for flexibility and scalability.
