Exact Metrology's Desktop System Produces Metrology-Grade Scans

Exact Metrology, a division of In-Place Machining Company and a comprehensive 3D metrology service provider and hardware sales company, now offers the newest version of its Artec Micro scanner. This new model is a professional, high-precision industrial desktop 3D scanner.

With a two-year warranty, Artec Micro provides up to 10μ accuracy and it is said to be ideal for quality testing and reverse engineering. It produces metrology-grade scans suitable for quality control, while removing the need for targets on the scanned object.

Artec Micro’s advanced twin color cameras and blue LED lights are synchronized with the scanner’s dual-axis rotation system to create a digital copy of the object with a minimum of frames captured. In addition, the Smart Scanning mode reportedly captures every surface of the object in the least amount of time while using an ideal number of frames. According to Exact Metrology, a minimum amount of training is required with Micro. The scanner integrates with Artec Studio for real-time digital capture.

Delivering highly accurate scans, not only can Micro “see” well below the human visibility threshold of 40μ, but its 3D measurements are among the best in today’s cutting edge scanners, according to Exact Metrology. Reverse engineering is completed with Artec Micro’s precise 3D measurement to digitally fit together legacy parts with those customers create, capturing the smallest details.

Artec Micro quickly transforms intricate items into CAD/CAM data for design, modification, 3D printing and casting. As a result, this saves time in the design and production of complex pieces, and the scanner also creates highly-detailed 3D models.
