The MicroScribe digitizers are used as a point-to-point, edge-to-edge data collection tools or alignment trackers for attached laser scanners or other types of sensing devices. These 3D scanners are portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) which use a contact based 3D scanning technology.

This desktop system comes in two versions, the general purpose MicroScribe G series and the higher accuracy MicroScribe M series. Each series offers two working volumes, 50” (short version) and 66” (long version) and comes with either five (5) or six (6) degrees of freedom. The six degree of freedom (6DoF) systems add a rotating stylus appropriate for the attachment of laser scanners and other sensing devices.
