Hexagon Offers Professional Grade 3D Scanning via ATLASCAN Pro

The ATLASCAN Pro, a new handheld 3D scanner from Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division, brings professional-grade laser scanning to entry-level users. Using multiple laser lines and a processing algorithm, the ATLASCAN Pro achieves scanning and data capture in a device that anyone can learn.

The highly portable scanner weighs 1 kg, allowing operators to take the scanner directly to the parts such as pump housings or automotive bodywork. With up to 2 hours battery operation through hot swappable batteries and a Wi-Fi 7-ready wireless option, its scanning capabilities enable scans when the part is moving, or when in unstable or rough environments such as inspecting propellers or inside pipework.

The ATLASCAN Pro scans large areas of up to 720 x 640 mm in standard mode, scanning at up to 4 million points per second. Operators can switch between standard and higher precision modes using an ergonomic thumb-switch on the device to achieve a higher density resolution over a 160 x 140 mm area.

Reverse engineering workflows are streamlined: users can scan smaller parts such as damaged components or electrical connectors on a worktop, from any angle, capturing missing details and high-density data. Designed to plug into any existing software workflows, Hexagon is offering a starter bundle with its Geomagic Design X Go software at no additional cost, enabling users to recreate parts without the original design, and accelerate scan to 3D model or scan-to-print for additive manufacturing.

Power users can upgrade to Geomagic Design X for advanced CAD functionality, or use their preferred reverse engineering software platforms.

For quality control and inspection, ATLASCAN Pro is certified according to VDI/VDE 2634-3 and includes Hexagon’s HH Scan software, so anyone use \dimensional inspection and \analysis (3D colourmap, geometric features and reporting). The scanner is software agnostic, with direct scanning support for Geomagic Control X and Geomagic Design X available from launch and third-party vendor support coming soon.

“The ATLASCAN Pro is a handheld 3D scanner that anyone can pick up and use. It puts fast professional-grade scanning in the hands of people who need it, at a very accessible price that complements our growing 3D handheld scanner offering,” said\\ys Darren Goh, product director for Handheld 3D Scanners at Hexagon “Not every application requires the ultra-precision Hexagon is known for, and I’m excited to see what opportunities this opens up for users who want to integrate high productivity reverse engineering, maintenance, or 3D model creation into their daily workflows—whether that’s making baths, baby toys or buses.”

ATLASCAN Pro complements the metrology-grade ATLASCAN Max and MARVELSCAN, a target-free handheld 3D scanner with built-in photogrammetry. Made for measuring large-volume (over 4 m) and moving objects with 0.05 to 0.14 mm accuracy, the HYPERSCAN series combines an optical tracker and scanner system to provide real-time dynamic tracking completes Hexagon’s current handheld 3D scanner range.
