Shining 3D AutoScan Inspec2

The AutoScan Inspec2 is the desktop scanner you hand to someone who is not a scanning operator. Put the part on the three-axis turntable, press start, and it captures every angle, merges the data and reports against CAD — at 0.01 mm accuracy, with full colour where the surface appearance matters.

It sits in our metrology range for exactly one reason: on small parts measured again and again, a machine that does not depend on a steady hand or a good day beats any handheld. That makes it the right tool for dental and medical components, jewellery, precision parts and small artefacts — and for anyone who needs the same result from whoever happens to be on shift.

One click, three axes

A three-axis turntable turns the part through every angle while the scanner stays put, so the measurement is hands-free: no walking around the object, no missing faces, no operator-dependent overlap. Alignment runs on surface features or markers depending on the part, and the whole cycle is a one-click operation — which in practice is what lets the same machine serve a laboratory, a production line and a workshop without a specialist standing next to it.

0.01 mm accuracy on small parts

Two 5 MP cameras reading blue LED structured light measure to 0.01 mm with a point distance of 0.05 mm across a 140 × 90 × 80 mm field of view. That envelope is the honest constraint: it is the class of part that fits in your hand and needs every detail captured — a connector, a gear, a crown, a casting’s fine features — measured repeatedly and objectively rather than by eye.

Full colour, not just geometry

A texture module captures true-to-life colour alongside the shape, so the output is useful for more than dimensional checks: colour-critical components, small heritage objects, product visuals and dental work where shade is part of the specification. If colour capture is central to your application rather than a bonus, our colour 3D scanning page sets out what the options actually deliver.

Software that carries the judgement

The scanner runs on UltraScan, whose AI-assisted algorithm handles scan strategy and data processing for you, and its inspection module is certified by PTB — the certification that gives a dimensional report weight outside your own building. Scan data goes to comparison against CAD, GD&T checks and automated reporting, which is the whole point of putting the machine on the bench in the first place. For how that fits a wider quality process, see our 3D inspection solution.

Where it sits in our range

The Inspec2 is the accessible end of our desktop inspection range. When the tolerance tightens to microns, or you plan to automate, the OptimScan Q12 steps up to 0.005 mm with dual scan ranges; when the part cannot come to a bench at all, a handheld is the answer — the FreeScan Combo+ Wireless for general metrology work, or the FreeScan Omni if you want the inspection report produced on site. The handheld, desktop and tracked guide explains where those lines fall.

Typical jobs

• Dental and medical components — repeatable measurement of small parts where consistency matters more than speed.
• Jewellery and small precision parts — fine detail with colour captured as well as form.
• Incoming and production checks — the same setup measuring the same class of part every day.
• Heritage and small artefacts — objects that must not be handled repeatedly, recorded in full colour.
• Occasional demand — if the requirement comes up a few times a year, our 3D scanning service is cheaper than owning the machine.

Buying and demonstration

The AutoScan Inspec2 is quoted per configuration rather than sold from a headline figure, because the right package depends on the parts you measure, the tolerances you must prove and the reporting your quality system needs. Most of what makes a system suit your work is included. Tell us the application and we will quote against it — and say plainly if the OptimScan Q12 is the honest answer for the tolerance you have to hold.

We demonstrate in Kuala Lumpur and on customer sites across Malaysia, using your own parts. Book a demo and see a full colour scan turned into a report before you commit.
