exagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division introduces ATLASCAN Pro, a new handheld 3D scanner that brings professional-grade laser scanning to entry-level users in any industry. Using multiple laser lines and a unique processing algorithm, the ATLASCAN Pro achieves fast scanning and high- quality data capture in an affordable, easy-to-use device that anyone can learn.
Versatile and highly portable, the scanner weighs just 1 kg, allowing operators to take the scanner directly to the parts such as pump housings, automotive bodywork or domestic appliances on the shop floor and beyond. With up to two hours battery operation through hot swappable batteries and a robust Wi-Fi 7-ready wireless option, its dynamic scanning capabilities ensure a smooth scan when the part is moving, or when in unstable or rough environments such as inspecting propellers or inside pipework.
Delivering unparalleled speed in its class, the ATLASCAN Pro scans large areas of up to 720 x 640 mm in standard mode, scanning at up to four million points per second. Operators can easily switch between standard and higher precision modes using an ergonomic thumb-switch on the device to achieve a higher density resolution over a 160 x 140 mm area.
Reverse engineering workflows are streamlined – users can easily scan smaller parts such as damaged components or electrical connectors on a worktop, from any angle, capturing missing

details and high-density data, with less guesswork or clean up. Designed to plug into any existing software workflows, Hexagon is offering a starter bundle with its Geomagic Design X Go software at no additional cost, enabling users to recreate parts without the original design, and accelerate scan to 3D model or scan-to-print for additive manufacturing. Power users can upgrade to Geomagic Design X for advanced CAD functionality, or use their preferred reverse engineering software platforms.
For quality control and inspection, ATLASCAN Pro is certified according to VDI/VDE 2634-3 and includes Hexagon’s proprietary HH Scan software, so anyone can get started with dimensional inspection and easy-to-use analysis (3D colourmap, geometric features and reporting). The scanner is software agnostic, with direct scanning support for Geomagic Control X and Geomagic Design X available from launch and third-party vendor support coming soon.
“The ATLASCAN Pro is a handheld 3D scanner that anyone can pick up and use. It puts fast
professional-grade scanning in the hands of people who need it, at a very accessible price that complements our growing 3D handheld scanner offering,” says Darren Goh, product director for Handheld 3D Scanners at Hexagon “Not every application requires the ultra-precision Hexagon is known for, and I’m excited to see what opportunities this opens up for users who want to integrate high productivity reverse engineering, maintenance, or 3D model creation into their daily workflows – whether that’s making baths, baby toys or buses.” ATLASCAN Pro complements the metrology- grade ATLASCAN Max and MARVELSCAN, a patented target-free handheld 3D scanner with built-in photogrammetry. Ideal for measuring large- volume (over 4m) and moving objects with 0.05 to 0.14mm accuracy, the HYPERSCAN series – released in May 2025 – combines an optical tracker and scanner system to provide real-time dynamic tracking completes Hexagon’s current handheld 3D scanner range.
