Capture 3D brings the Zeiss T-Scan hawk to IMTS 2022. This handheld 3D laser scanner rapidly collects precision 3D measurement data and offers GOM Inspect 3D inspection software, integrated photogrammetry, multiple laser sources and three application-focused scanning modes. Ultimately, it is said to provide the flexibility needed to accomplish various tasks, including scanning a range of small to large molds.

The lightweight scanner projects a scanning area of 550 mm x 600 mm, with a scanning resolution of 0.05 mm with multiple scan lines, and 0.01 mm with single red lines. The three scanning modes offered include red crosses for larger measurement areas; blue lines for dark, shiny or reflective surfaces; and a single red line to reach difficult areas and deep pockets. Users can change scanning modes by pressing a button on the handle, even while a scanning is in session. 

For mold builders working with molds that are too large or fragile to move, Capture 3D believes the T-Scan hawk’s portability is a significant advantage, enabling the mold to be inspected in place. This benefit virtually eliminates the chances of creating waste and increasing costs due to damaged molds. Coupled with GOM Inspect Software, the T-Scan hawk is a single solution that mold builders can use throughout the entire moldmaking process, from mold design to the final part.
