OptimScan Q12: The Pinnacle of Metrology-Grade 3D Inspection

Experience the flagship of the Q Series. The OptimScan Q12 combines four 12.3MP cameras with 0.005 mm accuracy for the most demanding quality control applications.

At 3D Printer Superstore, we know that for aerospace, automotive, and precision manufacturing, "close enough" doesn't exist. TheOptimScan Q12 is engineered for professionals who require absolute data density and edge fidelity. It stands as the high-resolution counterpart to the Q9, offering ultra-fine point distances for capturing the most intricate details of your components.

Product Overview

The OptimScan Q12 is the premier optical 3D measurement system in the SHINING 3D metrology lineup. It distinguishes itself with a quad-camera array featuring 12.3-megapixel industrial lenses, capable of delivering an exceptional point distance of 0.04 mm.

Unlike standard scanners, the Q12 utilisesMonocular-Stereo Fusion (MSF) technology. This allows it to capture deep holes, steep angles, and complex grooves that other systems miss, ensuring you get a complete digital twin in a single workflow. With its rigid blue LED structure and thermal stability, the Q12 guarantees certified accuracy (VDI/VDE 2634 Part 2) regardless of the shop floor environment.

Key Features & Benefits

• Unrivalled Resolution: Four 12.3MP cameras capture 12 million points per second for ultra-dense surface data.Certified Accuracy: Achieves0.005 mm accuracy in Small Range mode, meeting strict ISO/VDI standards.

  Dual Scan Ranges: Switch instantly between160 × 110 mm (high detail) and430 × 300 mm (larger parts) with one click—no lens changes required.

  Monocular-Stereo Fusion (MSF): Specialised algorithms fuse data from different angles to inspect hidden geometries and deep crevices effectively.

• Blue LED Technology: Ensures high interference resistance and cleaner data on shiny or dark surfaces compared to white light systems

Ideal Applications

The OptimScan Q12 is the definitive choice when surface detail and tight tolerances are critical. It is optimised for:

• Precision Manufacturing: Gears, threads, and micro-machined components.

• Aerospace & Defence: Turbine blades and engine casings requiring µm-level validation.

• Complex Reverse Engineering: Capturing fine artistic details or legacy parts with zero ambiguity.
