OptimScan Q12

Metrology-Grade Precision Reimagined


The Shining 3D OptimScan Q12 is a flagship metrology-grade 3D scanner designed for high-precision industrial inspection. It bridges the gap between manual lab-based scanning and fully automated production-line quality control.

The OptimScan Q12 represents the pinnacle of industrial 3D scanning technology. Equipped with four 12.3-megapixel cameras and SHINING 3D’s proprietary Monocular-Stereo Fusion (MSF) technology, it delivers unrivaled detail and accuracy for the most demanding inspection workflows.


Key Features & Benefits

  • Exceptional Detail Capture: Featuring a quad-camera array of 12.3MP industrial lenses, the Q12 captures up to 12 million points per second with a point distance as fine as 0.04 mm.

  • Certified Accuracy: Validated in ISO 17025 certified labs, the Q12 achieves an accuracy of up to 0.005 mm (VDI/VDE 2634 Part 2), ensuring your components meet the strictest geometric tolerances.

  • Dual Scan Ranges (One-Click Switch): No more manual lens swaps. Switch instantly between a Small Range (160 x 110 mm) for intricate parts and a Large Range (430 x 300 mm) for broader coverage.

  • Monocular-Stereo Fusion (MSF): Unlike standard scanners, MSF allows the Q12 to capture deep holes, steep edges, and complex grooves that are typically blind spots for optical systems.

  • Adaptable to Any Surface: With blue LED light technology and intelligent automatic exposure, the Q12 excels on dark, shiny, or high-contrast materials without the need for excessive scanning sprays.


Versatile Operational Modes

The Q12 is designed to grow with your production needs, offering three distinct deployment methods:


  1. Manual Mode: Lightweight (3.5 kg) and portable for spot checks and R&D lab work.

  2. Semi-Automated: Pair with a tripod and a 20 kg capacity turntable for efficient, repeatable batch scanning.

  3. Fully Automated: Seamlessly integrate with robotic arms for 24/7 in-line inspection, moving from scan to report with zero human intervention.
