Compact & Wireless

Designed for True One-Handed Scanning

SIMSCAN-E measures approximately 203 × 80 × 44 mm and weighs just 600 g.

The compact full-metal construction is designed for practical use in manufacturing plants, workshops, customer facilities and field inspection environments.

With no restrictive data cable, operators can easily move around vehicles, machinery, molds and complex assemblies.

600 g Wireless Full-Metal Body One-Hand Operation
Multiple Scanning Modes

Scan Fast, Capture Detail and Reach Deep Features

SIMSCAN-E provides three blue-laser scanning modes so users can optimize the scanner for speed, detailed geometry or difficult recessed areas.

63 Blue Laser Lines

Ultra-Fast Scanning

Triple Cross Technology rapidly captures overall part geometry for high-efficiency inspection and reverse engineering.

17 Parallel Laser Lines

Hyperfine Scanning

Capture detailed surfaces, edges and complex geometry when increased detail is required.

1 Blue Laser Line

Deep-Hole Scanning

A dedicated laser line helps capture holes, slots, channels and other recessed or difficult-to-access features.

Excellent for Confined Spaces

Get Into Areas Larger Scanners Can't Easily Reach

SIMSCAN-E uses a short-distance camera configuration and steep viewing angle to improve access to hidden geometry.

This makes it especially useful for:

  • Deep holes
  • Narrow slots
  • Channels and grooves
  • Vehicle interiors
  • Machined components
  • Tooling and molds
  • Recessed industrial geometry

More complete data means fewer missing areas and less time spent rescanning complex parts.

Wireless Freedom

Scan Without Being Tethered to Your Computer

SIMSCAN-E incorporates advanced edge computing and wireless data transmission directly into the scanner.

This allows users to move freely around components and reduces the cable-management issues often associated with traditional handheld metrology scanners.

  • Wi-Fi wireless communication
  • Integrated edge computing
  • Battery-powered scanning
  • Wireless or wired operation
  • Suitable for field measurement
  • Ideal around vehicles and machinery
Continuous Scanning

Hot-Swappable Dual Battery Design

SIMSCAN-E uses dual batteries designed for hot swapping, allowing users to replace a battery while continuing the scanning workflow.

This is particularly valuable for production environments, long inspection sessions and on-site projects where minimizing downtime is important.
