Certified Accuracy. Internationally Traceable.
Every OptimScan Q12/Q9 HD scanner is acceptance-tested to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 2 and ISO 10360, calibrated in SHINING 3D’s ISO/IEC 17025 accredited Accuracy Lab, and ships with a calibration certificate traceable to international metrology standards. Rev1 Technologies is your authorized SHINING 3D reseller and US support partner, Auburn Hills, Michigan.
OptimScan Q12 HD — Maximum Density. OptimScan Q9 HD — High Value.
Both HD models share the same high-precision platform — the same 0.004 mm small-range accuracy, the same HD dual scan range, the same Monocular-Stereo Fusion, the same <1 s shot speed, and the same robot integration. The difference is camera resolution and point density: the Q12 HD’s four 12.3 MP cameras resolve a finer 0.02 mm point distance for the most demanding micro-feature work; the Q9 HD’s four 9 MP cameras cover the same applications at 0.03 mm point distance and better value.
| Specification | OptimScan Q12 HD | OptimScan Q9 HD |
|---|---|---|
| Camera resolution | 4 × 12.3 MP | 4 × 9 MP |
| Accuracy (small / large) | 0.004 mm / 0.01 mm | 0.004 mm / 0.01 mm |
| Point distance — small range | 0.02 mm | 0.03 mm |
| Point distance — large range | 0.054 mm | 0.06 mm |
| FOV (large / small) | 220×150 mm / 80×50 mm | 220×150 mm / 80×50 mm |
| MSF · robot integration | Yes · Yes | Yes · Yes |
| Best for | Maximum point density — dental implants, micro-connectors, fine mold detail | Excellent HD detail for most precision inspection at better value |
Rev1 will assess your tightest tolerance requirements and recommend the right HD model — for most high-precision inspection the Q9 HD is more than sufficient; for the finest micro-feature work the Q12 HD’s higher point density is a meaningful advantage.
0.004 mm. Beyond the Limits of Standard Fringe-Projection Scanning.
The Accuracy Regulated Inspection Demands
The OptimScan Q12/Q9 HD pushes beyond the performance limits of fringe-projection optical scanning, delivering a new level of accuracy and fine-detail capture within its class. At 0.004 mm in small-range HD mode — tighter than the 0.005–0.02 mm band most handheld and fixed scanners hold — it lets fixed structured-light scanning stand in for CMM queues on dental implants, micro-connectors, turbine-blade edges, and precision mold surfaces. Four high-resolution cameras and advanced 3D reconstruction deliver the dense, consistent point clouds that micron-band tolerance work requires, with the VDI/VDE 2634 / ISO 10360 / ISO/IEC 17025 documentation chain regulated environments demand.
Large 220×150. Small 80×50. One Click — No Lens Swap.
Two Pre-Calibrated HD Ranges in the Same Hardware
Switch between the 220×150 mm large range (600 mm working distance, 0.01 mm accuracy) and the 80×50 mm small range (200 mm working distance, 0.004 mm accuracy) with a single software click — no aperture adjustment, no focal-length change, no recalibration. Start with the large range for overall part structure, zoom to the small range for the finest features, and both datasets fuse seamlessly in the same project. Competing systems require a physical lens change for the same flexibility.
Complete Data on Corners, Joints, and Undercuts.
Where Standard Stereo Leaves Gaps, MSF Fills Them
Stereo structured-light systems triangulate from two cameras — so when geometry blocks one camera’s line of sight, the data simply isn’t captured. Turning corners, inside joints, sharp transitions, and deep cavities are the classic problem zones. SHINING 3D’s Monocular-Stereo Fusion adds a monocular acquisition path that effectively increases data coverage and improves the integrity of the scanned data exactly where occlusion creates gaps — more complete point clouds in fewer scan positions, and less post-processing time patching holes on complex industrial parts.
Every Shot Under 1 Second. Smarter Scanning Built In.
Throughput Plus Continuously Updated Software
A built-in dual-chip computing platform completes each capture — acquisition plus processing — in under one second. The OptimScan software ships with smart scanning aids built in: a scanning-template workflow, real-time vibration detection, temperature control, and automatic background cutting. Scan as much as you want, all year round, with no hidden fees or additional license costs.
Same Scanner, Three Deployment Modes. Scale to Lights-Out.
No separate robot-optimized variant required — the same 3.6 kg scanner moves from handheld first-article work to tripod-and-turntable lab inspection to fully robotic in-line inspection as your volume grows.
Manual, Semi-Automated, or Fully Automated
Manual: compact and easy to carry, the HD scanner gives operators full control and flexibility for individual parts — at 3.6 kg it is light enough for sustained handheld use. Semi-automated: fix it on a tripod with an automatic turntable (up to 20 kg part load) for repeatable multi-angle capture, or add the optional dual-axis turntable (up to 3 kg) for single-click multi-angle scanning. Fully automated: integrate with an industrial robotic arm for precise, repetitive, operator-free production inspection. One investment supports the entire maturity curve of your deployment.
Four Steps to Operator-Free Inspection
Integrated with an automated inspection solution, the HD scanner runs scan-to-report with no operator involvement after setup: teach the robot path for the part geometry, then the system executes automated 3D measurement, aligns data to CAD and runs GD&T analysis in SHINING3D Inspect, and generates the inspection report — every cycle, zero operator variability, real-time results at critical production-line stations.
PTB-Certified Inspect. Open to Any Ecosystem.
Scan → Align → GD&T → Report — No Hand-Offs
SHINING3D Inspect — PTB-certified for traceable measurement — delivers a streamlined, modular, customizable approach from data acquisition to reporting: Compare, Cross-Section, Feature, Dimension, Gauges, Quick Measurement, and report generation in one continuous workflow. And unlike ecosystem-locked competitors, the HD scanner exports cleanly to PolyWorks Inspector, Geomagic Control X, and Geomagic Design X — the same scan serves dimensional inspection and reverse engineering.

Don’t Take Our Word for It. Rotate the HD Data Yourself.
Official SHINING 3D scan results straight off the OptimScan Q12 HD — dense, gap-free meshes on exactly the micro-feature geometry that breaks lesser scanners: deep-cavity earbud-case molds and threaded dental implants. Each viewer loads on click, straight from SHINING 3D’s official Sketchfab models.

From the Accredited Accuracy Lab to the Production Line
Every HD scanner is calibrated in SHINING 3D’s ISO/IEC 17025 accredited Accuracy Lab and acceptance-tested to VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 — the same traceable accuracy then scales into robotic cells beside the line: automated measurement, CAD comparison, GD&T analysis, and report generation at production cadence. For mixed-part environments, the one-click HD dual range covers overall geometry and the finest features without a hardware change.

Competitor figures are approximate, from publicly available manufacturer information, and vary by configuration; provided by Rev1 Technologies for general orientation. The ATOS Q requires a physical lens change to switch measuring volumes — a manual step with recalibration friction; the HD series switches pre-calibrated ranges in one click, with PTB-certified inspection software included and no recurring license fees. Rev1 can demo the HD series against any competitor on your specific parts.
