3D Scanning Q&A: NimbleTrack Gen2, NimProbe, and DefinSight Mobile Explained

The field of 3D scanning technology is advancing at an incredible pace, and SCANOLOGY continues to lead innovation with its latest product lineup: NimbleTrack Gen2 wireless optical 3D scanning system, NimProbe compact optical 3D probing system, and DefinSight Mobile all-in-one 3D digitization mobile app. Designed for precision, speed, and versatility, these tools empower professionals in industries ranging from automotive to aerospace to perform accurate 3D measurements with ease.

This Q&A article answers the most common questions about these products, helping you understand their features, differences, and how to get started.

Q1: What makes NimbleTrack Gen2 different from traditional 3D scanners?

NimbleTrack Gen2 wireless optical 3D scanning system combines wireless freedom, non-marker scanning, and portability with metrology-grade accuracy. It sets a new benchmark for efficient, smart, and flexible 3D measurements on parts of all sizes.

Q2: What’s the difference between NimbleTrack Gen2 and NimbleTrack?

NimbleTrack Gen2 delivers clear upgrades:

Higher volumetric accuracy: 0.059 mm vs. 0.064 mm

Longer tracking distance: 4.2 m vs. 3.2 m

More scanning lines: 72 vs. 42

Faster frame rate: 120 fps vs. 60 fps

Q3:Can NimbleTrack Gen2 scan large parts?

Yes. With its dual-mode scanning system, NimbleTrack Gen2 combines optical 3D scanning with handheld wide-area scanning. Thanks to adaptive photogrammetry, it ensures consistent high accuracy whether capturing intricate details or large components.

Q4: What's the frame rate of NimbleTrack Gen2 in wireless mode?

The wireless frame rate is the same as in wired mode — 120 fps. This ensures smooth and precise 3D scanning without any performance compromise.

Q5: How does NimbleTrack Gen2 compare with KSCAN-X for large-area scanning?

KSCAN-X: Designed for long-range, wide-area scanning. Lightweight, compact, and ideal for long working sessions, but it requires markers.

NimbleTrack Gen2: More versatile, powered by patented laser-equipped trackers for marker-free scanning. It adapts to a wider range of scenarios with faster setup.

Q6: Is NimbleTrack Gen2 compatible with the first-generation NimbleTrack?

No. The hardware design is different, so the two generations cannot be used together.

Q7: What is the highlight of NimProbe?

NimProbe is a compact, all-in-one 3D probing system designed for lightweight applications. It’s portable, easy to set up, and uses adaptive photogrammetry with i-Tracker for accurate probe repositioning. The latest i-Tracker adds 3D scanning capabilities, making measurement of large or complex parts simple and efficient.

Q8: If I want both NimbleTrack and NimProbe, how should I order?

It depends on your workflow:

• For both scanning and probing: Choose NimbleTrack Gen2 and add i-Probe as an accessory.
  • NimbleTrack-C probe range: 3.5 m
  • NimbleTrack-E probe range: 4.2 m
• For probing only: Choose NimProbe, which always offers a 4.2 m inspection range.

Q9: How is DefinSight Mobile different from third-party screen casting apps?

Unlike simple screen-casting tools, DefinSight Mobile lets you run the entire scanning workflow directly on your mobile device:

• Mobile-optimized interface for intuitive interaction
• Quick scan parameter adjustments
• Direct rotation and manipulation of 3D models
• Continuous updates with new interactive features

This makes it a powerful real-time control tool for on-the-go 3D scanning.
