The delay rarely starts during scanning.

It shows up later – when CAD needs correction, when a prototype doesn't fit, or when inspection data can't be trusted. In high-accuracy work, your scanner isn't just a capture tool. It's the foundation for every engineering decision that follows.

Choosing the right one changes everything downstream.

Start With the Workflow, Not the Spec Sheet

Before comparing models, define what you actually scan:

A scanner should support the workflow you run every day, not just perform well on paper.

Accuracy vs. Resolution – Know the Difference

Accuracy tells you whether the dimensions are correct. Resolution tells you how much fine detail can be captured. Both matter – but they solve different problems.

A scan can look detailed and still fall short in dimensional reliability. For fitting, measuring, rebuilding, or validating a part, dimensional dependability matters more than visual density.

Why Volumetric Accuracy Is the Number That Counts

As parts get larger, accumulated error becomes more important than a single close-range result. Volumetric accuracy reflects how the scanner performs across the full object – and for reverse engineering, inspection, and engineering verification, that's the number that tells the real story.

Two Scanners Built for High-Accuracy Work

MetroY Ultra delivers volumetric accuracy of 0.015 mm + 0.04 mm × L (m) and single-frame accuracy up to 0.015 mm – covering parts from 10 × 10 × 10 mm up to 2 × 2 × 2 m.

Why it works:

Best for: Reverse engineering, quality verification, detailed industrial scanning where edge definition and repeatability matter.

Trackit SR delivers volumetric accuracy of 0.025 mm + 0.04 mm × L (m), covering objects from 0.01 m to 4 m. Its optical tracking system captures the scanner's spatial position in real time – enabling high-precision marker-free scanning without the setup burden.

Why it works:

Best for: Large-part reverse engineering, automotive, production-floor scanning, and any workflow where mobility and faster setup matter.

MetroY Ultra or Trackit SR?

The decision isn't about which is better overall. It's about which one fits your workflow more closely.
