Transforming Quality Control with Advanced 3D Scanning Technologies
By Obsnap Instruments (Penang) Sdn. Bhd.
In today's fast-evolving manufacturing landscape, achieving high-precision quality control is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity. As industries in Penang and across Malaysia strive for greater efficiency, traceability, and compliance, many are turning to advanced 3D scanning solutions to elevate their quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) processes. At Obsnap Instruments Penang, we are proud to be at the forefront of this transformation, offering cutting-edge 3D metrology systems that empower manufacturers to inspect, analyze, and optimize with greater speed and precision.
Why 3D Scanning is the New Standard in Quality Assurance
Traditional inspection methods while effective often fall short when faced with increasingly complex geometries, tight production cycles, and the demand for full-surface inspection. Fixed Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), calipers, and gauges can be time-consuming and limited to single-point measurement.
Modern 3D scanning, in contrast, delivers non-contact, full-field inspection, offering a faster, more complete picture of part geometry. It enables manufacturers to conduct accurate comparisons against CAD models, perform real-time deviation analysis, and identify defects early—directly on the shop floor. The result? Shorter inspection cycles, reduced rework, and improved product consistency.
Our Flagship Solutions at Obsnap Penang
At Obsnap Penang, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of SCANTECH 3D scanning solutions tailored to suit a wide range of industrial inspection needs from small high-precision components to large welded assemblies.

TrackScan-Sharp-E: High-Speed, Marker-Free Laser Scanning
Designed for professional industrial inspection, the TrackScan-Sharp-E system offers high-speed, high-accuracy 3D scanning without the use of reflective markers. Its wide scanning area, optical tracking system, and robust accuracy up to 0.025 mm make it ideal for precision machining parts, automotive structures, and metal fabrication.
The system’s ability to function reliably in dynamic environments such as production floors eliminates downtime and improves throughput. For manufacturers facing tight inspection deadlines and large volumes, TrackScan-Sharp-E is a game-changer.
-
SIMSCAN-E: Ultra-Compact, Handheld Precision
As the smallest industrial-grade 3D scanner in its class, the SIMSCAN-E combines portability with powerful data capture. It fits easily into confined spaces and weighs under 1kg, making it ideal for on-site inspections, mold cavities, tooling maintenance, and reverse engineering. Despite its compact size, SIMSCAN-E delivers impressive resolution and scanning speed ensuring no compromise on quality.
-
KSCAN-Magic: Hybrid Performance for Flexible Applications
The KSCAN-Magic series delivers the best of both worlds: long-range infrared scanning for large components and high-resolution blue laser scanning for fine detail capture. With multi-mode capability, KSCAN-Magic can adapt to various inspection scenarios, from aerospace components and automotive tooling to prototype validation. It also supports deep hole probing, enabling comprehensive inspection in a single setup.
-
AutoScan-K: Fully Automated Robotic Scanning
For facilities embracing Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, the AutoScan-K system offers a fully automated, robot-integrated scanning solution. This setup allows for unattended, repeatable inspection of parts with consistent accuracy and speed. Integrated with SCANTECH’s software and robot arm control, AutoScan-K is perfect for high-volume production environments that require minimal manual intervention and maximum efficiency.
-
Probing Capabilities for Hidden or Complex Features
Some part geometries require tactile measurement to inspect features like deep bores, threads, or internal slots. Our hybrid systems support both scanning and CMM-style probing, offering a complete inspection solution in a single workflow. This is particularly valuable in tool and die, aerospace, and precision engineering environments where absolute accuracy is critical.
