Key Features
SIMSCAN-S Gen2 combines compact size with professional measurement performance. Its 0.015 mm accuracy makes it a strong choice for manufacturers, engineers, and inspection teams that need highly detailed scan data from complex parts and critical surfaces.
With 108 quad-crossed blue laser lines in ultra-fast scanning mode, 126 total blue laser lines, a maximum scanning rate of up to 8,100,000 measurements per second, and a frame rate up to 180 FPS, SIMSCAN-S Gen2 helps users capture more data in less time.
SIMSCAN-S Gen2 is designed for wireless operation using Wi-Fi 6 data transfer and edge computing. This allows users to scan more freely around large parts, inside vehicles, on shop floors, around fixtures, and in areas where cables can slow down the workflow.
Weighing only 560 g, the SIMSCAN-S Gen2 is easy to handle during long scanning sessions. The compact design helps reduce operator fatigue while allowing users to scan from different angles and positions.
The short-baseline camera design allows the scanner to capture data in gaps, deep holes, slots, channels, pockets, and other difficult-to-access areas. This makes it ideal for complex castings, machined components, molds, tooling, assemblies, and aerospace or automotive parts.
SIMSCAN-S Gen2 includes ultra-fast scanning, hyperfine scanning, and deep-hole scanning modes, giving users the flexibility to switch between speed, detail, and hard-to-reach geometry depending on the part and application.
ScanTech’s DefinSight software supports a streamlined 3D scanning workflow from data capture through analysis. It helps users process scan data, review results, and move efficiently from scanning to decision-making.
| Mode | Laser Configuration | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra-Fast Scanning | 108 blue laser lines with Quad Cross Technology | Fast capture of complex parts, large areas, and general inspection data |
| Hyperfine Scanning | 17 blue parallel laser lines | High-detail scanning of fine features, edges, and precision surfaces |
| Deep Hole Scanning | 1 extra blue laser line | Capturing holes, slots, grooves, channels, pockets, and recessed areas |
SIMSCAN-S Gen2 is ideal for industries that require accurate, repeatable, and fast 3D measurement. It is especially useful when parts have tight tolerances, complex geometry, or surfaces that must be verified with confidence.
Inspect precision components, machined features, assembly surfaces, brackets, housings, and complex parts where tolerance control and reliable measurement are critical.
Capture body panels, castings, engine components, custom parts, molds, fixtures, interiors, and performance components for inspection, reverse engineering, and product development.
Scan molds, dies, tooling, cavities, inserts, and complex surfaces for dimensional inspection, repair, reverse engineering, and design updates.
Digitize large equipment components, castings, machined parts, maintenance items, and industrial assemblies with a portable scanner that can be used in real-world environments.
Support inspection, maintenance, repair, reverse engineering, and documentation of large assemblies, structural parts, and complex mechanical components.
Create accurate scan data for CAD modeling, design validation, prototyping, additive manufacturing, and digital archiving.
