Quality Control Inspection

ShapeGrabber 3D scanning systems offer rapid quality control inspection of complex parts. ShapeGrabber systems operate using a fraction of the time and resources compared to traditional methods.

Radiator tank inspection report produced by Polyworks® using ShapeGrabber data.

Our non-contact laser scanner technology provides documented proof that manufacturers are meeting specifications by providing NIST-traceable data and accurate 3D laser scans of complex plastic injection molded parts, castings, stampings and more. And, ShapeGrabber systems are easy to use.

ShapeGrabber captures millions of data points in just minutes to represent the true and full geometry of your complex part. Our systems then compare the 3D scanner results to computer aided design (CAD) models to provide you with accurate and timely measurement feedback for quality control. Automatically generated reports help you provide proof that you are producing products to specification.

ShapeGrabber solutions let you:

  • Reduce inspection time by rapidly conducting automatic or first-article inspection in minutes.


  • Measure the whole part, not just a few points, providing greater assurance that requirements have been met and improving overall quality.


  • Improve production efficiency by quickly troubleshooting fit problems.


  • Minimize equipment downtime by reducing human error.


  • Reduce material waste by reducing shipping defects.


  • Evaluate part wear by comparing scans of the same part over time.
