MaxSHOT 3D

The MaxSHOT 3D optical coordinate measuring system is a complementary product that adds the accuracy and speed of photogrammetry to the wide range of applications already possible with the Creaform technologies, especially when it comes to larger parts.

Creaform is renowned for the portable, reliable and very easy-to-use technologies it designs. In concrete terms, our system (combining the MaxSHOT 3D photogrammetric video camera + the VXshot processing software) stands out from other systems because it is so easy to use.

Its user-friendly design allows even those new to photogrammetry to quickly and easily generate a high accuracy positioning model of an object based on a series of photos.

The workflow is really simple:

• Place a few coded targets either on the object to be measured or in its environment.
• Take several blocks of convergent photos.
• Launch the bundle adjustment process (image triangulation).

Through this process, the reflectors placed on the object can be easily rebuilt in 3D. The scale bars provided in the measurement volume allow for model scaling. Once the calculations are complete, the Creaform 3D scanner or optical CMM automatically uses the high accuracy positioning model generated with VXshot to determine its position in the measurement volume.

Just some of the benefits:

• Dimensional measurements that are even more precise
• Increased accuracy in Creaform technologies thanks to photogrammetry
• Very simple to operate
• Real-time visualization and validation of acquired data
• Step-by-step operation entirely guided by the VXshot module
• Ergonomic design
• Shorter measuring time on larger parts
• Accelerated positioning of the Creaform 3D scanner or optical CMM around the part
• Light and portable
