Truly wireless operation
On-board processing, battery power and wireless data transfer reduce set-up constraints.
SCANOLOGY NimbleTrack Gen2Wireless scanning, no markers.
A wireless handheld scanner followed by a portable optical tracker. We measure large parts and assemblies without sticking markers to them.
Up to 0.025 mmManufacturer-stated system accuracy
Up to 6.63M/sMeasurements
Up to 4.2 mTracking distance
120 fpsScanning frame rate
Large parts,measured where they stand.
The optical tracker follows the wireless scanner in real time, so one operator can move freely around the object. Scanner-only and tracked modes cover everything from fine detail to large assemblies.
Why we use it
- Truly wireless. One-person operation, with no cable between scanner and tracker.
- Marker-free. No reference targets stuck to the part, so set-up is faster and surfaces stay clean.
- Large-range accuracy. Adaptive photogrammetry holds volumetric performance over bigger measurement ranges.
- Field-ready. A portable set-up for shop-floor and on-site work.
What it bringsto measurement.
Wireless capture, optical tracking and photogrammetry in one portable system.
Marker-free tracking
The optical tracker follows the scanner directly, for agile measurement of different part sizes.
Adaptive photogrammetry
Integrated photogrammetry maintains volumetric accuracy across larger ranges.
Two capture modes
Scanner-only mode for fine detail, tracked mode for large parts and assemblies.
What we scanwith it.
Large, heavy or assembled parts that are impractical to move to a measuring room.
Large panels and bodies
Measure large panels and tooling without placing markers on the surface.
Heavy industrial components
Move around heavy castings and housings with a wireless set-up.
Assembly position and fit
Check how parts sit in their assembly, in context and in place.
Deformation analysis
Track dimensional change over time during engineering analysis.

What you get.Data ready for the next step.
A mesh, a parametric model, a drawing and an inspection report do different jobs. Choose the output and we scope the scan around it.
Processed scan mesh
A cleaned, registered mesh of the measured surface: the record of the part as it is.
Parametric CAD and drawings
Editable solids rebuilt from the scan, with 2D drawings so any supplier can make and check the part.
Deviation report
The scan aligned to your CAD and coloured by deviation, with callouts on the features you care about.

How it fitsour scanning workflow.
Scope first, then capture. Agreeing the output before we scan keeps the data useful, and the model can go straight to our printers.
Define the output
Tell us what the part does, which features are critical and whether you need a mesh, CAD, drawings or a report.
Quote and scope
We confirm the NimbleTrack Gen2 is the right scanner, agree coverage and deliverables, and send price and date.
Scan with the NimbleTrack Gen2
We prepare the surface where needed, capture overlapping views, then align and clean the data.
Model, check and deliver
We rebuild or compare, check against the agreed features and send the files, or go straight to print.

NimbleTrack Gen2 questions,answered.
Anything else? See all FAQs
When do you use NimbleTrack instead of HandySCAN?
For large parts, assemblies and surfaces where markers are impractical. HandySCAN suits smaller components and on-site work up to around 4 m; SIMSCAN suits fine features.
Do you need to put markers on my part?
No. The optical tracker follows the scanner directly, so the surface stays clean and set-up is faster.
How large a part can you measure?
The tracker works at up to 4.2 m. SCANOLOGY states volumetric accuracy of 0.059 mm at 3.5 m and 0.072 mm at 4.2 m for the E Gen2 configuration.
Which file formats can you supply?
Scan data in STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, IGS and other formats, or a rebuilt CAD model and deviation report if you need one.
