Introducing the SIMSCAN, the world's only palm-sized 3D laser scanner that places the power of metrology directly in your hand. A recipient of the prestigious German Red Dot Award, the SIMSCAN is a disruptive innovation that combines a compact, robust design with exceptional performance. Whether you are scanning in narrow spaces or capturing large-scale objects, this powerful measuring instrument allows you to accurately capture every detail and create high-quality 3D models with remarkable speed and simplicity.
Experience True Metrology-Grade Performance
Portable, Accurate, and Incredibly Fast

In the lab, on the shop floor, or out in the field, you need a metrology-grade 3D scanner that delivers on all fronts. The SIMSCAN excels with its ease of use, high accuracy, exceptional resolution, and rapid data acquisition. It's the reliable, professional tool designed for users who cannot compromise on data quality, regardless of the working environment.
Single-Handed Control, Unmatched Simplicity

The SIMSCAN’s full-metal housing provides solid protection and extraordinary durability. Weighing only 570 g and sized at just 203 × 80 × 44 mm, the SIMSCAN brings unparalleled simplicity to scanning anything with just one hand. Its ergonomic, anti-slip design and multifunctional buttons allow for flexible, comfortable, and safe operation in any direction.
A Measurement Booster for Confined Spaces

The SIMSCAN is specifically engineered to excel where other scanners fail. With a much shorter camera distance of 130 mm, it creates a steeper viewing angle that is perfect for 3D scanning in narrow spaces. This unique advantage allows the SIMSCAN to capture accurate and complete data from deep grooves, channels, and other hard-to-reach areas, ensuring you achieve comprehensive data integrity across the entire object.
Capture Every Detail with High Precision

With its built-in HD cameras and three versatile scanning modes, the SIMSCAN achieves high-precision scanning with an accuracy of up to 0.020 mm. It can accurately capture the 3D data of objects with complex surfaces, reflective finishes, or dark colors, ensuring no detail is ever missed. With a remarkable scanning rate of up to 2.8 million measurements per second, you can enjoy a seamless and highly efficient 3D digitization process.
Unparalleled Portability and Operational Freedom

The SIMSCAN boasts a compact size and excellent portability, allowing it to conduct 3D measurements anywhere and anytime—no matter if you are in narrow spaces or under huge objects. When paired with the AirGO Power wireless link, it supports mobile 3D scanning and real-time data viewing, providing a truly flexible, reliable, and effective measurement experience. The ergonomic, anti-slip housing and strap ensure safe and comfortable operation, while easily accessible, multifunctional buttons allow users to switch between modes at any time.
Smooth 3D Experience and Automated Capabilities

The advanced algorithm of the SIMSCAN enables a remarkable 3D scanning rate of up to 2.8 million measurements per second, ensuring users enjoy a seamless and highly efficient 3D digitization process. Furthermore, when coupled with SCANOLOGY’s automated 3D measurement system, it breaks free from the constraints of traditional methods by enabling continuous, automated high-batch measurements, significantly improving efficiency across all stages of manufacturing.
