(1) Typical value for diameter measurement on a calibrated sphere artefact.

(2) Value for spheres spacing measurement on a calibrated length artefact. Results are obtained using integrated photogrammetry with volumetric accuracy optimization.

(3) The volumetric accuracy of the system when using a MaxSHOT 3D cannot be superior to the default accuracy for a given model.

(4) Laser class: 2M (eye safe).

(5) Also compatible with all major metrology, CAD, and computer graphic software through mesh and point cloud import.
