ZEISS ScanPort: Mobile Scanning Automation at Your Fingertips

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing landscape, speed, accuracy, and repeatability are paramount, especially when it comes to inspection and quality control. That’s where the ZEISS ScanPort shines. As a flexible, semi-automated 3D scanning system, ZEISS ScanPort is engineered to simplify complex measurement tasks and bring high-precision metrology directly to your production floor.

What Is ZEISS ScanPort?

ZEISS ScanPort is a complete, semi-automated 3-axis scanning solution built for small to medium-sized parts. Designed to work in tandem with ZEISS INSPECT software, it combines metrology-grade accuracy with user-friendly operation. The result? A plug-and-play system that reduces operator variability, increases throughput, and streamlines your entire inspection workflow.

Key Highlights

  • 3-Axis Automation with One Click: ZEISS ScanPort features an automated arm that moves up, down, and tilts—combined with a precision rotation table. This enables comprehensive part coverage from multiple angles and distances, ensuring no detail is missed.
  • Metrology-Grade Accuracy: Thanks to fringe projection and Blue Light Technology, the system delivers highly detailed 3D data with up to 12 million points per scan and a point distance of up to 0.03 mm.
  • Template-Based, Repeatable Scanning: ScanPort’s ZEISS INSPECT software allows users to save and reuse scanning templates. Whether you’re inspecting a single part or running a batch of identical components, the process is repeatable, efficient, and consistent.
  • Mobile and Flexible: Weighing only about 22 kg and featuring a modular design, ZEISS ScanPort is easy to move and set up wherever it’s needed—including directly on the shop floor. A travel case is also available for safe, simple transport.

Software-Powered Simplicity

At the core of ScanPort’s ease of use is ZEISS INSPECT software. It guides users step-by-step with a built-in workflow assistant and includes features like kiosk mode for operator-independent use. From mesh editing to CAD comparison and 3D model generation, it’s a full-featured metrology suite that makes complex tasks simple.

Applications Across Industries

ZEISS ScanPort is ideal for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Reverse engineering
  • Injection molding and casting
  • 3D printing
  • Sheet metal inspection
  • Punching and bending
  • Rapid prototyping and virtual modeling

Whether you're in aerospace, automotive, medical device manufacturing, or general industry, ScanPort offers a robust and accessible entry point into 3D optical metrology.
