Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, SCANOLOGY scanners use blue laser technology, which is better at capturing shiny and reflective surfaces like machined aluminum or chrome. For transparent materials, such as glass or clear plastics, a scanning spray like AESUB is recommended to ensure accurate data capture without artifacts.
No, most SCANOLOGY scanners use optical tracking systems that eliminate the need for targets on the part. However, targets can be added in tight or obstructed areas to improve tracking or align scans across multiple sessions or scanner positions.
SCANOLOGY systems can operate wirelessly once connected to compatible scanning software. Data can be streamed in real-time, giving users complete freedom of movement. Wireless scanning is especially beneficial for hard-to-reach areas and on-site inspections.
The NimbleTrack is designed for high portability with a smaller tracking volume and compact setup—great for mobile workflows and medium-to-large parts. The TrackScan, on the other hand, supports a much larger scanning volume (up to 135 m³) and is ideal for scanning large-scale objects in a stationary or industrial environment.
Absolutely. SCANOLOGY scanners support both workflows. With metrology-grade accuracy, they’re suitable for inspection applications, and the exported mesh data can also be used for reverse engineering or integration into CAD environments.
SCANOLOGY’s scanners are typically paired with their proprietary software DefinSight, which handles everything from scan acquisition to mesh editing and export. It supports common formats compatible with most CAD, inspection, and modeling software.
