Creaform MaxSHOT 3D
Ultra-Precise Large-Scale Measurement Made Easy
A Portable Powerhouse: The Ultimate Tool for Industrial Measurement
Creaform’s MaxSHOT 3D is a portable photogrammetry-based optical coordinate measuring system built for large-scale metrology tasks. Designed for parts and assemblies ranging roughly from 2 to 10 meters, it delivers precision suited for industries such as aerospace, heavy machinery, transportation, power generation, and tooling. Unlike traditional photogrammetry, the MaxSHOT 3D is designed with simplicity in mind, making it accessible to both metrology experts and new users.
High Accuracy & Repeatability
The system provides unparalleled volumetric accuracy of up to 0.015 mm/m, ensuring reliable and repeatable measurements on large parts. With average deviations as small as 0.005 mm/m, confidently performing critical dimensional checks over large spans has never been easier.
Intuitive Guidance
Say goodbye to retakes. With tools like real-time “GO/NO-GO” frame projections, automatic feedback on measurement quality, intuitive software diagnostics, and multifunction buttons, the device simplifies setup and minimizes user error.
Powerful, Portable, and Shop-Floor Ready
Lightweight yet rugged, MaxSHOT 3D is built for the shop floor or the field. Its compact design and accessories make it easy to transport, set up, and operate anywhere.
MaxSHOT 3D Features
Guided Workflows for Any Skill Level
Using intuitive VXelements software, MaxSHOT 3D offers step-by-step user guidance, interactive visuals, and context-sensitive prompts so even technicians with little or no photogrammetry experience can get accurate results on the first try. This slashes training time and democratizes large-scale measurement across your team.
Flexible Integration with 3D Scanners and CMM Probes
MaxSHOT 3D works as a standalone optical coordinate system or in combination with Creaform’s portable 3D scanners and optical CMM probes. This integration creates a complete, scalable metrology ecosystem, capturing reference points, aligning scans, and verifying full assemblies with unmatched speed and precision.
Accessory Options for Extended Reach and Flexibility
Optional scale bars, extension arms, and mounting accessories let you adapt MaxSHOT 3D to virtually any measurement environment. Extend its reach for very large or complex components, improve stability in challenging conditions, or customize setups for specialized applications.
