Handheld 3D scanners for fast, accurate 3D models & reverse engineering
FasTech is the US agent for the Scantech range of portable 3D scanners. These state-of-the-art scanners are ideal for rapidly creating exact 3D models for product development, reverse engineering, first article inspection (FAI), quality control and repair and maintenance. The handheld scanners, which can measure and scan large or awkward shapes, automatically transform the 3D scan data into accurate 3D models with part measurement accuracy within as little as less than a 10th Thou (0.0008”) or 20 microns.
Not only are these 3D scanners ideal for our work at FasTech, helping us reverse model complex parts with curved surfaces, ribs or cavities – they also have numerous applications across a broad range of industries including aerospace, automotive, transport, energy and defense.
