Portable 3D Measuring System



Nikon Metrology announced the release of its easy-to-use intelligent , the P3D. Measuring a product's performance and design has become increasingly important, not only for research and development, but for production and quality control.

The compact P3D NC-2323S is easy to carry and can be operated with a push of a button and without a computer. It does not require professional expertise or technical knowledge to operate.

"With its intelligent functions, portability and immediacy, it is ideally suited for quick, on-site measurements, such as those required on the automotive production floor," said a company spokesperson.

Key Features

1. Easy operation

The simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows first-time users immediate and intuitive operation. Capture 3D measuring data by simply moving the lens over an object and pressing the shutter button. The projection system directs a laser beam onto a micro-mirror, made using a semiconductor micromachining technique, in order to project an optical pattern onto the object.

2. Small, lightweight and intelligent

The compact body includes a sensor, operator and controller, enabling users to check the data immediately and conduct simple measurements. The P3D has been made small, light and energy efficient using the newly developed micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) projector and laser source.

Moreover, it works with both an AC adaptor and a battery, enabling use on production floors where available power sources are limited.

3. PC coordination

The newly developed P3D Viewer software meets a number of requirements, including data backup, 3D data reconstruction under different conditions, checking and editing, 3D data stitching and 3D printer coordination.
