Photoneo has officially launched the PhoXi 3D Scanner Gen3—its flagship 3D vision solution for static scenes. Designed with cutting-edge blue laser technology and engineered for the most demanding accuracy-critical applications, this next-generation scanner sets a new benchmark in precision, speed, and reliability.

Why the Gen3 Is a Game-Changer in 3D Scanning

Built to serve industries like automotive, electronics, logistics, and quality inspection, the PhoXi 3D Scanner Gen3 offers unmatched capabilities, including:

• 5.1 MP 3D resolution with a built-in 8 MP color camera

• 60% more 3D points for high-detail inspection

• Operation under any lighting, including direct sunlight

• Up to 2.5× better scan completeness on complex surfaces

• Dynamic range improved by 20 dB

• Scanning distances from 0.3 m to 6 m

• Autonomous maintenance with no need for physical recalibration

3D Inspection Meets Smart Quality Control

At the heart of the Gen3 is a 5.1 MP sensor that produces ultra-high-resolution point clouds. With 1.6× more 3D data than its predecessor, this scanner easily detects micro-defects, subtle misalignments, and edge variations—making it ideal for manufacturers focused on AI-powered quality control and defect prevention.

Integrated RGB Camera for True Color Scans

Unlike typical 3D sensors, the Gen3 includes an integrated RGB camera that captures full-color texture alongside 3D geometry. This innovation enables:

• Color-based inspection

• Label verification

• Material finish and texture analysis

• Single-pass scanning of both geometry and appearance

This dual capability is especially useful in industries where cosmetic quality is as important as dimensional accuracy.

Built for Industrial-Grade Materials and Surfaces

Thanks to Photoneo’s proprietary blue laser technology, the Gen3 can capture highly reflective, translucent, and dark-colored surfaces—materials that are notoriously difficult for traditional scanners. It excels on:

• Black plastic

• Shiny metal

• Rubber

• Translucent or matte surfaces

This dramatically reduces the need for rescans and increases confidence in automation performance.

See the Finest Detail—From 30 cm to 6 Meters

Whether you’re capturing tiny components in electronics or scanning full-size automotive assemblies, the Gen3 adapts to your needs. It’s factory-calibrated up to 4 meters, with effective performance reaching 6 meters, providing flexibility for both precision tasks and long-range logistics.

Double the Throughput with Parallel Scanning

The Gen3 supports dual-channel operation, allowing blue and red laser variants to scan in parallel with no signal interference. This results in:

• Faster scanning cycles

• Higher data density

• No compromise in scan quality

Perfect for fast-paced production lines or large-scale inspection applications.

Zero Maintenance = Zero Downtime

Maintenance is simplified with autonomous calibration—no need for marker patterns, manual adjustments, or service interruptions. A single click reinitializes the system, maintaining submillimeter accuracy over time and eliminating costly downtime.

Encased in a lightweight yet durable carbon body, the scanner is built to withstand harsh industrial conditions without compromising performance.
