3-in-1 scanning with MARVELSCAN
Scan large parts with MARVELSCAN’s integrated photogrammetry system. With Hexagon’s patented reverse positioning system you can scan without targets and in unstable environments with dynamic referencing.
Hole flash & edge capture
Decrease your inspection times by 50% with MARVELSCAN and ATLASCAN Max. Easily measure edges regardless of scan density or coverage and quickly measure multiple features at once using Hexagon’s built in vision system.
Battery operated scanning via FREEBox
Hexagon’s MARVELSCAN and ATLASCAN Max can be paired with a chargeable FREEBox to give you complete scanning freedom and measuring without any restrictions or cables in your work area.
7 steps to solving the top challenges of machine shops
Eliminate time consuming set up with Hexagon’s state-of-the-art handheld 3D scanners. Take your quality inspection to new levels with our cutting-edge scanning technology.
1. Quoting and planning - to achieve success in manufacturing, it is essential to integrate strategic planning tools to power the quoting and planning stages. Precision is key, driven by data, and operational excellence is attainable through the optimisation of resource allocation, synchronisation of schedules, and efficient work order tracking.
