Exact Metrology offers the RS-Squared area scanner, manufactured by Hexagon Metrology. The 3D scanner is compatible with all current-generation Absolute Arm 7-axis systems, allowing users to perform high-speed scans of simple shapes and surfaces. It is best suited to the scanning of large parts with lower detail requirements, such as automotive parts.

The white light scanner uses the Absolute Arm system to position large square tiles of 3D scan data. This eliminates the need to apply reference markers or spray and to perform complex mechanical processes such as fringe projection. It captures up to four data tiles per second.
