ScanTech had an online launch event to introduce its SIMSCAN 3D scanner. SIMSCAN is a palm-sized 3D scanner. 

SIMSCAN was developed based on ScanTech's innovations in the metrology field. SIMSCAN weighs 570 g and measures 203×80×44 mm, a device that fits in a palm. No matter if users are in a narrow space or facing a large-scale project, the measuring speed of 2.02 million times per second allows users to have 3D measurements whenever and wherever possible. The measurement accuracy of 0.020 mm manifests more details.

At the event, global users joined the live broadcast to share their thoughts. They mentioned that SIMSCAN is portable, aesthetically appealing with scientific elements, and its scanning is smooth and accurate enough to fulfill metrology-grade measurement.
