Hexagon’s latest advancement in handheld metrology for accessible high-fidelity 3D capture

The rapid evolution of handheld 3D scanning technology is reshaping the landscape of industrial metrology, reverse engineering, and digital manufacturing

Once dominated by high-end laser trackers and fixed CMMs capable of sub-micron precision but often limited in flexibility, the portable scanning market has now emerged as a credible counterpart, capable of delivering dense point clouds, high repeatability, and workflow integration once considered the exclusive territory of laboratory-grade systems.
