SCANOLOGY iReal M3

Versatile 3D Scanning for Objects, People, Design and Engineering

The SCANOLOGY iReal M3 is a professional full-color 3D scanner designed for users who need one system capable of scanning people, industrial parts, artwork, automotive components and medium-to-large objects.

It combines 7 invisible infrared parallel laser lines with infrared VCSEL structured light, providing a choice between higher-detail object scanning and smooth marker-free large-area scanning.

With accuracy up to 0.1 mm, point spacing down to 0.1 mm, scanning rates up to 60 FPS, outdoor scanning capability and full-color texture capture, iReal M3 is a highly flexible professional scanner for design, body scanning, education, art and reverse-engineering workflows.

Hybrid Alignment

Scan With Geometry, Texture, Markers or a Combination

iReal M3 supports different alignment strategies based on the geometry and surface characteristics of the object.

When the part has enough unique geometry and texture, scanning can be performed without targets. When natural features are limited, additional markers can be added to improve tracking.

  • Texture alignment
  • Marker alignment
  • Hybrid alignment
  • Marker-free structured-light scanning
Two Scanning Technologies

Choose Precision or Large-Area Coverage

7 Infrared Parallel Laser Lines

High-Accuracy Object Scanning

Use invisible parallel laser scanning for industrial parts, automotive components and objects that require point spacing down to approximately 0.1 mm.

Infrared VCSEL Structured Light

People & Large Objects

Use structured light for marker-free body scanning, artwork and medium-to-large objects with a field of view up to 580 × 550 mm.

Smooth Scanning

Deep Depth of Field Makes Scanning Easier

iReal M3 is designed to give users flexibility while moving around an object instead of forcing them to maintain a very narrow scanning distance.

The structured-light system provides a deep working range, helping users capture larger surfaces smoothly and reducing interruptions during scanning.

Effective scanning range:
Approximately 280–1000 mm depending on the selected scanning mode and application.

Automotive Scanning

Designed for Challenging Dark and Light Surfaces

Infrared light is less affected by visible surface color than many colored-light scanning systems, helping iReal M3 scan components with strong color contrasts.

It is suitable for:

  • Vehicle exteriors
  • Vehicle interiors
  • Black trim
  • Automotive components
  • Body panels
  • Custom accessories
  • Reverse engineering

Very reflective surfaces may still require surface preparation depending on finish and scan requirements.

Product & Object Scanning

Capture Detailed Physical Objects for Digital Workflows

iReal M3 can digitize products, sculptures, consumer objects and engineering components for design, reproduction and analysis.

Typical downstream workflows include:

  • Reverse engineering
  • 3D printing
  • Product development
  • Digital archiving
  • Artistic reproduction
  • Visualization

Invisible Light for Comfortable People Scanning

The structured-light mode uses Class I invisible infrared light, making it suitable for applications involving people.

The software includes algorithms designed to improve body scanning, including support for:

  • Hair scanning
  • Full-body capture
  • Body-part scanning
  • Dark-environment scanning
  • Compensation for small body movements
  • Custom products
Outdoor Scanning

Take iReal M3 Beyond the Studio

iReal M3 supports outdoor geometry capture, giving users more flexibility for vehicles, sculptures and objects that cannot easily be brought indoors.

For best results, avoid calibration under direct sunlight and use controlled lighting when accurate color texture capture is required.
