MaxSHOT Next makes large-scale measurement more accurate and reliable

Building on the first generation of MaxSHOT 3D, with these new products Creaform says it has achieved a major industry milestone by developing an “intelligent” measurement solution that autonomously guides users to the right measurements within VXelements software.

Considered a serious alternative to laser trackers for many applications, the new MaxSHOT 3D line can be used as standalone measurement devices or used in combination with Creaform’s 3D scanners and portable CMMs. Major benefits are:

• 40% more accurate with volumetric accuracy of up to 0.015 mm/m.
• Visual projections with live go/no-go feedback directly on the part, guiding the user to the correct position to take the shot for unparalleled ease-of-use.
• New light, ergonomic design engineered specifically for photogrammetric measurement of large parts ranging from 2 to 10 meters.
• Improved hardware reliability and multifunction buttons for easier interaction with the software in shop-floor conditions.
• Available in Standard and Elite versions.

Says Daniel Brown, Product management director at Creaform: “With first-time-right data acquisition and measurements, the new optical coordinate measuring system is a game-changer in metrology for large-scale projects. Photogrammetry complexity, lack of metrology experience and the latent human error factor are no longer obstacles to high quality measurements with the MaxSHOT 3D [range of two models]. Users of all levels can be confident that their measurements are right and can be used as a solid and reliable foundation for their dimensional inspection projects.”
