This article showcases our field experience using the NimbleTrack 3D scanning system on a Ford Ranger pickup truck. The system is not only convenient and fast, but also produces excellent 3D images. Below are some features of the NimbleTrack 3D scanning system:
Extremely compact and plug-and-play
The NimbleTrack's lightweight and compact design aims to set a new standard for optical 3D scanning systems. Its lightweight design allows users to take measurements wherever needed. The i-Tracker is only 57 cm long and weighs a total of 2.2 kg, making it easy to use. Furthermore, engineers and professionals can work for extended periods without fatigue using this 3D scanner, which weighs only 1.3 kg. The system comes with a standard protective case to house all instruments, providing a flexible and convenient user experience.
Stable Structures and CFFIM Technology
NimbleTrack's 3D scanners utilize innovative Carbon Fiber Frame Integrated Molding (CFFIM) technology, ensuring a lightweight design and high strength, breaking through the limitations of traditional assembly structures. Its stable structure makes the device highly stable and completely unaffected by thermal changes. A single calibration ensures stable operation over extended periods. Users can leverage this cutting-edge technology to have complete control over every scan.
Wireless Freedom
This flexible optical 3D scanning system is designed to set a new standard for wireless and free 3D scanning. It eliminates the need for any cables to power the instrument, use its functions, or transmit data, enabling field measurements in a variety of environments, even without outlets or power supplies. The 3D scanner has a powerful built-in battery, and the tracker comes with a standard plug-in battery, providing dual power cycles to ensure long-term continuous operation. All these advancements allow users to enjoy a wireless measurement experience.
Dual-edge computing and robust performance
NimbleTrack's 3D scanner and tracker are equipped with powerful edge computing modules, delivering a fast and smooth scanning experience at a high frame rate of 120 FPS. Compared to common handheld 3D scanners, it saves on power requirements and the hassle of attaching markers, greatly simplifying the measurement process. It easily handles complex tasks by providing markerless and efficient 3D scanning.
Unleash precision, unleash excellence
Users can fully leverage Scantech 's metrology products and advanced algorithms, achieving an accuracy of 0.025 mm and a maximum volumetric accuracy of 0.064 mm across the entire range. With its high precision and usability, NimbleTrack enables users to capture detailed 3D data.
Next-generation 3D scanning
The NimbleTrack 's compact and flexible design allows users to explore new applications in industrial measurement. In confined spaces or hard-to-reach areas, the 3D scanner can operate wirelessly and independently, enabling instant scanning and one-handed control. This allows for high-precision scans up to 0.020 mm anytime, anywhere. When measuring larger parts, the optical tracker further enhances accuracy using built-in infrared wide-range photogrammetry, reducing cumulative errors caused by scan alignment.
Intelligent edge detection
NimbleTrack features precise edge detection capabilities achieved through grayscale measurement, allowing users to accurately inspect closed features such as holes, slots, and edges, and obtain information such as their location and diameter.
I-PROBE500
It can be used in conjunction with the i-Probe to probe hard-to-reach areas such as reference holes and hidden points. This contact measurement probe ensures accurate results and offers both wired and wireless options.
Multi-tracker measurement
Its measurement range can be dynamically expanded by adding more i-Trackers, allowing for the measurement of large-scale objects without compromising accuracy.
Automated measurement
Based on its new 3D scanner architecture, Scantech offers a custom fixture approach suitable for automated measurement, making it more compatible with various robot types. Its 360-degree uniformly distributed target set allows for omnidirectional and precise tracking, facilitating the development of efficient automated batch measurement systems.
application
The versatility and powerful performance of NimbleTrack have convinced Scantech that its devices represent a significant leap forward in industrial 3D scanning applications. From automotive to aerospace and beyond, its wireless capabilities and versatility will enable users to work smarter and faster. For scanning areas, NimbleTrack is best suited for measuring parts ranging from 40 mm to 2000 mm. Typical components include car doors, hoods, interior seats, die-cast parts, and new energy battery boxes. NimbleTrack is also ideal for applications where marking is not permitted, including aircraft maintenance, artifact preservation, and automated measurement.
The NimbleTrack system excels in situations where power connections are inconvenient or long cables pose a safety hazard. Examples include field measurements of corroded oil pipes or high-altitude scanning of large components. In these scenarios, NimbleTrack stands out as a reliable solution. NimbleTrack streamlines the production process, ensuring accurate measurements during assembly, quality checks, and final inspection. Engineers and designers can rely on NimbleTrack for precise 3D scanning , aiding in product development and rapid prototyping.
