Photoneo launches its flagship 3D sensor for static scenes –  PhoXi 3D Scanner Gen3. This top-of-the-line scanner is engineered for the most accuracy-critical applications, combining high-resolution 3D data with blue laser technology.

Key Advancements

• 5.1 MP 3D resolution, 8 MP color camera
• 60% more 3D points    
• Any lighting conditions – even direct sunlight
• Up to 2.5× better scan completeness
• 20 dB higher dynamic range
• Any distance from 0.3 m to 6 m
• Autonomous Maintenance: No marker patterns, single slick setup

3D Inspection & Tighter Quality Control

The PhoXi 3D Scanner Gen3 is designed to empower industries with unparalleled precision and efficiency. With a stunning 5.1 MP resolution, it captures 1.6 times more 3D data points than previous models, enabling the detection of micro-edges and subtle assembly flaws that other systems might miss. 

This leap in detail is crucial for early defect detection, significantly reducing scrap and rework, and supporting AI-powered quality control.

3D Scanner with Integrated RGB Camera

A key innovation of the Gen3 is its integrated RGB camera, which can simultaneously capture both high-resolution 3D data and color texture. This dual capability facilitates color-based quality assurance, sorting, and texture analysis, simplifying tasks such as verifying labels and material finishes in a single scan.

From Finest Detail to Long-Range Precision

One of the most significant advancements is the scanner’s ability to handle any surface, no matter how challenging. The blue laser technology provides up to 2.5 times better data completeness on complex materials like black plastic, reflective metal, rubber, and even translucent objects. 

This eliminates time-consuming rescans and ensures reliable performance across a vast range of industrial materials.

“The PhoXi 3D Scanner Gen3 represents a new era for 3D vision,” said a Photoneo CTO, Svorad Stolc. “We’ve engineered a device that not only delivers exceptional accuracy from the finest detail to long-range applications up to six meters, but also simplifies the entire process. Its ability to scan any surface and the inclusion of color data in a single device will be a game-changer for our customers in inspection, logistics, and automotive.”

Zero Maintenance Downtime

Housed in a feather-light yet robust carbon body, the 3D scanner is built for demanding industrial environments. It also features an autonomous maintenance feature that eliminates the need for special marker patterns or physical adjustments, ensuring submillimeter accuracy that remains stable over time with zero downtime for recalibration.

The new generation scanner also supports advanced parallel scanning, allowing both blue and red laser variants to operate simultaneously without interference, effectively doubling scanning throughput and data density.

Key Innovations and Benefits:

• Top-Notch Color Data: Featuring an integrated RGB camera, the Gen3 captures both 3D data and color texture simultaneously, simplifying tasks like verifying labels, finishes, or material blends for enhanced quality assurance, sorting, and texture analysis.
• Unrivaled Surface Versatility: This scanner effortlessly handles challenging surfaces, including black plastics, reflective metals, rubber, and matte finishes, achieving up to 2.5 times better 3D data completeness on complex materials, eliminating wasted time and rescans.
• Exceptional Range and Detail: Gen3 is fully calibrated for distances up to 4 meters, with robust accuracy up to 6 meters for larger logistics tasks, ensuring trustworthy 3D vision for both close-up inspections and long-range object detection.
• Double the Speed, No Trade-Offs: The Gen3 supports advanced parallel scanning using both blue and red laser variants concurrently, with no interference between wavelengths. This dual-channel architecture dramatically increases scanning throughput and data density without compromise.
• Zero Maintenance: With autonomous maintenance capabilities, the Gen3 eliminates the need for special marker patterns, physical access, or service calls. Users can auto-maintain the device with a single click, ensuring submillimeter accuracy that doesn’t drift over time and keeping production lines always running.
