MaxSHOT 3D™

Transition from complex photogrammetry to point-and-shoot simplicity. Elevate your measurement accuracy for large-scale projects and ensure first-time-right data acquisition.

MaxSHOT 3D™ | Large-Scale Optical Coordinate System

Unprecedented Accuracy for Massive Components

The MaxSHOT 3D is a game-changer for product development, manufacturing, and quality control teams working with large-scale parts ranging from 2 to 10 meters. By adding the power of photogrammetry to the measurement process, it delivers unmatched volumetric accuracy and repeatability. Imagine achieving precision better than 0.015 mm/m—the MaxSHOT 3D makes this a reality, providing peace of mind that your measurements are always right on the dot.

Designed to eliminate the complexity traditionally associated with photogrammetry, the MaxSHOT 3D features a sophisticated user guidance technology. Its intelligent software autonomously guides technicians of all levels—even those without metrology expertise—through the data acquisition process. This ensures high-quality results while significantly reducing the risk of human error and slashing the time required for large-volume inspections.

The MaxSHOT 3D is more than a standalone device; it is a force multiplier when combined with other Creaform technologies. Whether used with the HandySCAN 3D, HandyPROBE, or MetraSCAN 3D, it significantly increases the measurement range and accuracy of your existing tools. This integrated ecosystem provides a seamless “Scan-to-Position” workflow, making it the definitive solution for aerospace, heavy industry, and transportation sectors.

Accuracy of 0.015mm

Worldwide support

VDI/VDE 2634 Part 1

Integrated and streamlined process

Real-Time Feedback & Guidance

Never take a bad measurement again. The MaxSHOT 3D features a laser-projected frame with live GO/NO-GO feedback directly on the part. This visual guidance tells you immediately if the photo quality is optimal or if you need to adjust your position. Combined with VXshot’s step-by-step diagnostic tools, the system ensures that every captured image is valid before you move to the next step.

Extreme Accuracy on a Large Scale

Engineered for the most demanding metrology projects, the MaxSHOT 3D is up to 40% more accurate than previous generations on large-sized parts. With a volumetric accuracy of up to 0.015 mm/m and reliable performance based on VDI/VDE 2634 Part 1 standards, it provides the precise data required for complex alignments, quality assessments, and large-scale reverse engineering.

TruPortability for the Shop Floor

High-precision photogrammetry is no longer confined to the laboratory. The MaxSHOT 3D is remarkably lightweight (only 0.79 kg) and rugged enough to handle harsh industrial environments. The entire system and its accessories fit into a single portable carrying case, allowing for quick setup in less than two minutes directly on the production floor or at remote sites.

Maximized User Comfort & Speed

Designed with ergonomics in mind, the MaxSHOT 3D features multifunction buttons that allow for easy interaction with the software without returning to the computer. This streamlined process, combined with an ultra-short learning curve, allows any member of your team to master the technology quickly. The result is a drastically shorter measuring time on large parts and a more efficient overall workflow.
