Efficient digitisation of large parts
Large field of view and high performance in one handheld system
A scanning area up to 650 × 550 mm and several million measurements per second provide fast coverage on large workpieces.
Standard, Precision and Deep Hole modes allow the same system to work efficiently on large surfaces, fine details and recessed geometric features.
Fast, accurate and flexible 3D data capture directly in the industrial environment
“AlphaScan combines fast coverage of large parts with metrology-grade capture of fine details in the same system.”
Three scanning modes and two performance levels allow the configuration to be adapted to the specific industrial task.
Did you know?
AlphaScan Elite uses up to 50 blue laser lines in high-speed mode.
This enables acquisition of up to 7.1 million measurements per second, while Precision mode provides 0.01 mm resolution.

Key benefits
High performance, fine detail and intelligent workflow
AlphaScan combines high speed, metrology-grade accuracy and flexible data processing in one system.
Large scanning area up to 650 × 550 mm
The wide measurement area enables large-part inspection with fewer passes and a smoother workflow.
Resolution down to 0.01 mm
Precision mode is designed to capture fine edges, holes and complex surface details accurately.
Accuracy up to 0.020 mm
Metrology-grade accuracy makes AlphaScan suitable for quality inspection and industrial measurement tasks.
Wireless workflow
The optional portable solution provides greater freedom of movement around large or difficult-to-access parts.
Photogrammetric accuracy enhancement
Measurement with a photogrammetric scale bar improves volumetric accuracy on larger parts.
550 mm depth of field
The large depth of field provides stable data capture across surfaces with varying geometry and depth.
Intelligent data processing
The integrated software workflow supports comparison, analysis, reporting and CAD conversion.
Inspection and reverse engineering workflow
From scanning to an editable CAD model
AlphaScan data can be used directly in both quality inspection and reverse engineering workflows.
01
3D data capture
The high-speed blue-laser system creates a detailed point cloud or polygon mesh of the part.
02
3D inspection and analysis
Measured data can be compared with CAD, analysed using deviation maps, dimensioned and reported.
03
Reverse engineering
After mesh cleaning, surface segmentation and precise fitting, an editable CAD model can be created.
Applications
A wide range of industrial applications
The system supports workflows ranging from large-part digitisation and precise quality inspection to reverse engineering.
