Presenter credentials: A 3D Printing Professional with 20+ years of experience in 3D modeling, 3D printing, and 3D scanning.

  • Session on the calendar: "Precision Redefined: Integrated 3D Scanning Solutions for Metrology-Grade Inspection and Reverse Engineering" takes place Thursday, September 17, at 2:15 P.M. in IMTS66 Room W192-C.
  • Scanology's offering: A comprehensive suite of measurement solutions designed for the modern factory, spanning handheld scanners and tracking-based systems.
  • Intended applications: Inspection and reverse engineering tasks ranging from intricate components to massive industrial assemblies, with hardware and software built to capture high-fidelity data and streamline manufacturing workflows.
  • Broader conference scope: IMTS 2026 will also cover material selection for machine tool bases and innovations for Swiss-type and small parts machining.

A session aimed at the modern factory floor

The session will introduce Scanology's comprehensive suite of measurement solutions designed for the modern factory — a portfolio that spans the flexibility of handheld scanners to the robust power of tracking-based systems.

From intricate components to massive assemblies

The core promise of the session is practical: showing attendees how to tackle the toughest inspection and reverse engineering tasks, whether the work involves intricate components or massive industrial assemblies. Scanology's hardware and software are designed to capture high-fidelity data and streamline manufacturing workflows — a combination that matters on the shop floor, where inspection bottlenecks and reverse engineering challenges can slow entire production schedules.

The range of coverage is notable. Handheld scanners address flexibility for detailed or hard-to-reach geometry, while tracking-based systems bring the power needed for larger-scale work. Together, they represent an integrated approach rather than a single-tool answer.

The presenter

The session will be delivered by a 3D Printing Professional with 20+ years of experience across 3D modeling, 3D printing, and 3D scanning. That background informs a project-assessment approach: evaluating the needs of particular projects and companies so the proper technologies can be implemented to yield the highest possible results.

What else is on the IMTS 2026 agenda

The event will also feature discussions on topics including material selection for machine tool bases — specifically when mineral casting delivers measurable advantages — and innovations for Swiss-type and small parts machining. For engineers weighing their conference schedules, the breadth of sessions covers metrology, machine design, and machining process improvement alike.
