Scanology Highlights 3D Verification Solutions for Additive Manufacturing at RAPID + TCT 2026

Boston, MA, United States, April 2026 – Scanology successfully concluded its participation at RAPID + TCT 2026, held from April 14 to 16, 2026, in Boston, Massachusetts, where the company presented its advanced 3D scanning and inspection technologies at Booth 1247. During the event, Scanology highlighted how accurate 3D verification helps manufacturers improve confidence in additive manufacturing workflows, from design validation to final part inspection.

From Print to Proof in Additive Manufacturing

As additive manufacturing continues to evolve from prototyping into end-use and production-grade applications, the need for accurate and repeatable quality verification is becoming increasingly important. At this year’s show, Scanology demonstrated how precise 3D data can support the inspection of complex geometries, dimensional validation, and process control across additive manufacturing applications.

By enabling engineers to capture accurate surface data, compare scans against CAD models, and verify dimensional integrity more efficiently, 3D verification helps strengthen quality assurance throughout the additive manufacturing workflow.

During the event, visitors explored how Scanology’s solutions can be applied across different inspection scenarios, helping manufacturers inspect intricate features, verify complex part geometries, and reduce uncertainty in quality evaluation.

Scanology presented four advanced 3D scanning solutions—SIMSCAN-S Gen2, KSCAN-X, TrackScan Sharp-S, and NimbleTrack Gen2—each designed to address different verification needs across additive manufacturing applications.

Featured Solutions

SIMSCAN-S Gen2: Compact Precision for Fine Features

SIMSCAN-S Gen2 attracted attention with its palm-sized design and metrology-grade performance. Delivering up to 0.015 mm accuracy, along with 0.025 mm sphericity and 0.035 mm flatness, it is well suited for inspecting intricate features, narrow spaces, and complex surfaces commonly found in additively manufactured parts. Its compact, wireless design helps users achieve high-precision inspection with greater flexibility and efficiency.

KSCAN-E: Flexible All-in-One Scanning for Complex Parts

KSCAN-E showcased the advantages of a wireless, all-in-one 3D scanning solution for additive manufacturing verification. With up to 0.020 mm accuracy and six scanning modes, it enables efficient inspection of both fine details and larger surfaces, helping manufacturers handle complex geometries with greater flexibility and confidence.

TrackScan Sharp-S: High-Efficiency Measurement at Scale

For large-scale inspection tasks, TrackScan Sharp-S showcased fast, marker-free optical 3D measurement. Featuring 99 blue laser lines and up to 6 million measurements per second, it is designed to capture accurate data across large volumes with high efficiency, making it ideal for large-format additive manufacturing applications and other demanding industrial scenarios.

NimbleTrack Gen2: Agile Wireless Tracking for Flexible Inspection

NimbleTrack Gen2 highlighted a more agile approach to wireless optical 3D scanning. Offering up to 0.020 mm accuracy and a tracking distance of up to 4.2 m, it combines portability, flexibility, and precise tracking performance. The system is especially valuable for dynamic inspection environments where cable-free operation and responsive workflows are essential.

Supporting Quality Confidence in Additive Manufacturing

Throughout the exhibition, Scanology engaged with engineers, manufacturers, and industry professionals looking for practical ways to improve quality control in additive manufacturing. The live demonstrations at Booth 1247 showed how advanced 3D scanning can help accelerate inspection workflows, improve dimensional confidence, and support more reliable manufacturing outcomes.

By combining accuracy, efficiency, and application flexibility, Scanology continues to support the additive manufacturing industry with solutions designed to turn printed parts into verified results.
