For cases of higher accuracy, 0.001 inch, then it is best to go with a laser based metrology scanner such as the Freescan Combo or Freescan Trio which have an volumetric accuracy rating of 0.02 mm / 0.001 inch, and are certified by VDI-VDE 2634-3 standard certifications. These scanners can capture object sizes between an inch to 17 feet, and provide a point cloud (.ASC) or mesh file (.STL) which you can use for inspections against the CAD model in an inspection software such as Geomagic Control X, PolyWorks, Zeiss / GOM Inspect, and more. The Freescan scanners are also portable handheld scanners that can be packed up in case after the scan is complete. Send us a message if you want to learn more!
For lower accuracy requirements between 0.035 mm to 0.1 mm, we make our recommendations based on the type and size of the objects that you may want to scan and inspect. If it is between 0.4 inches to 2 feet, then we usually recommend desktop scanning systems such as this Transcan C, Einscan SE or Einscan SP. If the object is larger than 2 feet, then we usually recommend a handheld scanning system. The Transcan C provides an accuracy of 0.035mm in the 150 mm x 96 mm scan rage which can comfortably capture object sizes between 0.4 inch to 5 inches, and an accuracy of 0.05mm in the 300 mm x 190 mm scan range which can comfortably capture object sizes between 3 inches to 2 feet.
