MicroScribe® 3D digitizer is a precision contact-based desktop 3D digitizing device (or Coordinate Measurement Machine - CMM), which can be used to measure and capture 3-Dimensional data points from physical objects.  MicroScribe digitizers use state-of-the-art electronics and a lightweight counter-balanced mechanical arm, making it portable for flexible desktop use anywhere.  The light easy-to-manipulate probe is like a pen that can be used to effortlessly trace objects and capture 3D data.

MicroScribe Solutions™ greatly extend the use of the MicroScribe within various 3D applications to create a completely immersive 3D input solution.  Below you will find complete information on MicroScribe digitizer products and solutions.

MicroScribe Solutions™

The real power of the MicroScribe begins when integrated with GHOST 3D's advanced 3D digitizing, editing, and manipulation software such as: Scribe-iT CAD, Scribe-iT DCC, Power Digitizer Pack, and the original MicroScribe-MAX and utilities (developed by GHOST 3D for Immersion).  These applications (or a custom software solution from GHOST 3D) transform 3D CMMs like MicroScribe into a powerful digital content creation, design, interactive manipulation, animation, visualization, navigation, measurement and reporting tool, within top quality popular 3D modeling applications.  You can find out more about some of our commercial integration software by checking out the Scribe-iT software solutions page.

With MicroScribe Solutions™ from GHOST 3D you can trace over the contours of physical objects and build complex 3D models in minutes.  You also have the control of creating the objects and the data in a layout that is optimized for your special purposes.  There are so many uses for MicroScribe, you name it, GHOST 3D made it happen. Or, if you have a demand we haven't yet addressed, we'll add it to the next release!  That's how avid we are about MicroScribe CMM Systems and our integrated solutions.

MicroScribe® 3D Digitizer (CMM) Product Details


MicroScribe® 3D digitizers come in several models and configurations to meet cost, size, and accuracy requirements of your projects. The MicroScribe Product Selection table below shows the various MicroScribe models and specifications.

MicroScribe models are split into two distinct series: MicroScribe G2X series (accurate for desktop 3D digitizing, design, graphics, CAD, DCC, etc.) and MicroScribe MX series (higher-accuracy and more durable construction for industrial applications, manufacturing).  There are two sizes of digitizer in each of these series: a 25" length arm - yielding a 50" maximum spherical volume reach, and a 33" length arm - yielding a 66" spherical volume reach.  The models with an "L" in the designation have the larger active volume (66" in., 1675mm) and are only slightly less accurate than the corresponding standard volume model.  MicroScribe models with the "6" designation have a "Spinning Stylus" mount providing six Degrees of Freedom (6-DOF) as opposed to the standard models which do not have a Spinning Stylus (5 Degrees of Freedom only). The Spinning Stylus provides much easier manipulation of the stylus or probe tip and is also required for a 3D Laser add-on probe.  Using MicroScribe with Scribe-iT software applications provides one of the most precise, and controllable ways to quickly create and maninpulate efficiently designed accurate 3D models, measurements and date for design, machining, engineering, multimedia, animiation, research, simulation, or virtual reality.  

Below you'll find a table with all the available MicroScribe models and specifications. You'll also find additional information on optional MicroScribe acccessories, MicroScribe software, MX details, and 3D Laser probe...

MicroScribe MX - High Accuracy, Shop-Durable
 
MicroScribe MX models offer industrial use + metrology level accuracy:
Up to 0.002" (0.0508mm) accurate the MX series provides sturdy, shop-durable, state-of-the-art components in an easy-to-use articulated arm design. MicroScribe MX is ideal for more heavy use (such as shops, labs, schools, and frequent travel). An optional heavy duty mounting plate, provides the platform for a variety bolt-on end-user mounting needs. Plus, G3D Systems can configure the MX for seamless integration with the most popular reverse engineering and metrology software packages. MX models are calibrated and testing using ASME B89.4.22 Draft Specifications - an industry standard used for testing accuracy and repeatability performance of Articulated Arm Coordinate Measurement Machines.
 
Accuracy Specifications:  The more commonly recognized method for determining articulating measurement machine repeatibility is the SPAT (Single Point Articulation performance Test). In this test the probe of the CMM device is placed within a conical socket, and individual points are measured from multiple approach directions. Each individual point measurement is analyzed as a range of deviations about the average value for point location. The resulting report includes the commonly used maximum deviation distance and 2 times SPAT at that location.
 
Cost Effective G3D CMM Systems for Demanding Applications:  The MicroScribe MX system is one of several G3D Systems that offer a new, highly accurate, shop-durable, and most cost-effective alternative for Manufacturing, Quality Control (QC), Manufactured parts Inspection, Reverse Engineering, capturing for Rapid Prototyping (RP), and high-accuracy 3D digitizing.

About GHOST 3D's exclusive involvement with MicroScribe:

GHOST 3D and our G3D Systems group have a long successful history and partnership with Immersion (MicroScribe hardware designer). This alliance enables us to provide first class MicroScribe service, solutions and the very best in informative support and instructional techniques.

GHOST 3D's Systems group actively offers and supports MicroScribe and MicroScribe Solutions to and for use by product designers, industrial designers, engineers (biological to mechanical), game and entertainment developers, forensic scientists and researchers, entertainment and film artists, and DCC/CAD/CAM and visualization professionals; Our commercial and custom MicroScribe Solutions include applications for reverse engineering (RE), 3D Digitizing and Modeling, Quality Control (QC), Inspection, Metrology, Industrial Design and Manufacturing, as well as several other custom applications such as point cloud surfacing, scan processing, data analysis, filtering, and more.

GHOST 3D is a 3D CMM and 3D Input Solution pioneer, and a top provider of advanced 3D Data Capture, Digitizing, Modeling, and Measurement Systems. GHOST 3D's software engineers also created the very first animation system coded for the MicroScribe and other CMMs. The interactive 3D input animation software has been written from the ground up to provide its own unique keying and capturing systems that enable animation of 3D objects using a CMM in real time. It is the first and perhaps only commercial solution ever to provide dedicated animation tools to be used in conjunction with a 3D CMM device like the MicroScribe, and FaroArm devices.  We continue to break new ground with digitizing devices and software technology that can speed the process and flexibility in which 3D professionals create and manipulate 3D content.  We also continue to develop Reverse Engineering and metrology solutions that are uniquely suited to optimize production.

Through an exclusive development/marketing/distribution agreement with partner Immersion Corp., GHOST 3D pioneered the first MicroScribe products as a 3D digitizing solution, developed unique software applications and techniques, and also provided premier commercial distribution and marketing campaigns that evangelized the MicroScribe "3D Digitizer" as we know it today.  GHOST 3D also partners with and improves a variety of third party 3D capture products to offer an expanding portfolio of products for 3D Digititizing and Reverse Engineering. We are committed to serving a wide variety of industry professionals with complete solutions for 3D modeling, digitizing, reverse modleing, surface reconstruction, 3D manipulation, visualization, metrology, and design applications. Since the launch of MicroScribe our staff has been dedicated to providing unmatched service, extending new product developments and offering continued support of the MicroScribe solutions.

As a forerunner in 3D Digitizing, Modeling, and Reverse Engineering,
GHOST 3D has the knowledge and experience to provide you with the right "state-of-the-art" solution for the job.
