Introducing the OptimScan Q12 by SHINING 3D
On May 14, 2023, SHINING 3D released their newest fixed 3D scanner, the
OptimScan Q12, through Japan 3D Printer Corporation. This advanced metrology-grade scanner excels in precision scanning, high-speed data acquisition, and remarkable stability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including industrial product inspections, reverse engineering, and quality control. Despite its compact design, the OptimScan Q12 is capable of capturing complex shapes and fine details, significantly boosting efficiency and accuracy in measurement tasks.
Key Features of OptimScan Q12
Unmatched Precision Through Advanced Technology
Equipped with
four 12.3-megapixel cameras, the OptimScan Q12 achieves an impressive maximum accuracy of
0.005mm. This high-resolution capability allows for reliable and stable scanning results, making it an ideal tool for intricate measurements.
Versatile Scanning Ranges at Your Fingertips
One of the most user-friendly features of the OptimScan Q12 is its ability to switch between two scanning ranges with just one click. Users can easily toggle between a large range of
430 × 300mm and a small range of
160 × 110mm, without the need for lens adjustments. The data captured in different ranges can be seamlessly integrated within the software, ensuring that both detail and efficiency are maintained.
Innovative Single Camera Scanning Functionality
In addition to the standard dual-camera scanning mode, the OptimScan Q12 includes a
single camera scan function (MSF) which employs a projector and a single camera to capture hard-to-reach areas such as the edges and joints of complex parts. This feature enables users to collect more comprehensive data, enhancing the overall scanning outcome.
High-Speed Scanning with Flexible Exposure Control
Thanks to its powerful built-in dual chip computing module, the OptimScan Q12 is capable of capturing
12 million points per shot in under one second. Its multiple exposure modes, including automatic exposure adjustments, drastically reduce scanning time while still delivering optimal results depending on the surface characteristics of the object being scanned.
Seamless Automation for Inspection Workflows
The OptimScan Q12 integrates smoothly with 3D inspection systems, offering a completely automated workflow from scanning to report generation. This feature not only enhances operational efficiency but also streamlines the inspection process for various applications.
Internationally Certified Precision
As a part of the metrology series, the OptimScan Q12 can issue calibration certificates based on international standards, such as
VDI/VDE2634 Part 2, within ISO17025 certified facilities. This provides reliable traceability within inspection processes, further strengthening the quality control regimen for industries that require high precision.
