Central Scanning Limited has released abrand-new #HandsOnMetrology hand-held 3D Scanner

The Zeiss T-Scan Hawk 2, lightweight 3D laser scanner is designed and manufactured by Zeiss, who arerenownedfor high accuracy,and repeatable measuring equipment.

The new scanner,weighing less that 1Kg provides ahighly portable 3D Scanner that is travel friendly and provides auser-friendly scanning experience working directly within the highly acclaimed Zeiss Quality Suite software.

As abusiness, Central Scanning is very excited by this new scanner as it provides metrology grade accuracy,combined with a large volume and un-paralleled portability.The Zeiss Quality Suite software, not only allows for the collection of scan data but also the full measurement of the data compared to either a nominal 3D model or another approved sample part. For the morein-depthanalysis of the data, the ‘Pro’ version of the softwareprovides the ability to write inspection templates and report trends from the results.

Data collection, reverse engineering, inspection and validation of awiderange of objects arewherethese types of 3D Scanners areused and being highly portable, this increases the applications wherethis technology can be deployed. Gone arethe days when the item has to be bought to the ‘measuring room’.
