ShapeGrabber designs, manufactures and sells industrial 3D scanners. Our 3D inspection and measurement systems are ideal for measuring complex shapes that are otherwise too time consuming, costly, or simply impossible to measure. Our 3D laser scanning systems are both very fast and and very easy to use in comparison to traditional Coordinate Machines (CMMs).

Success Stories: DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., a Johnson - Johnson company, designs, manufactures and distributes orthopaedic devices and supplies including hip, knee, extremity, trauma, orthobiologics, and operating room products. To obtain more accurate measurements, DePuy selected the ShapeGrabber® Ai300 3D laser scanning system. The ShapeGrabber solution proved to be faster and more versatile than other laser probe systems that DePuy evaluated, and the Ai300 was able to measure the complex, compound curves of DePuy parts quickly and accurately. Since choosing the ShapeGrabber system, DePuy has found that it can reconfigure the scanner quickly to accommodate parts of different sizes, and can perform the quality assurance inspections it requires to ensure its low-volume parts are properly formed and sized.
Miniature Precision Components (MPC) Inc. supplies major automotive manufacturers with molded and extruded thermoplastic components and assemblies such as valves, fittings, connectors and fluid reservoirs. As MPC started to develop larger, more complex products such as plastic engine covers featuring logos, it ran into problems with shrinkage and warpage and tried a variety of techniques to inspect the problems. To obtain faster, more accurate results, MPC began using the ShapeGrabber® Ai810 3D scanning system. Using the non-contact laser scanner, MPC can now obtain full-color tolerance maps – color-coded 3D images used to quantify the deviation of the part€™s shape from CAD specifications – to conduct accurate what-if analyses and quality control inspections on its complex plastic parts.
As Malaysia€™s national automobile manufacturer, PROTON is the country€™s largest vehicle manufacturing company. RPMC wanted to complement its existing rapid prototyping capabilities. PROTON acquired the ShapeGrabber Gantry 3D Scanning System with a full suite of scanning heads (extra small, small, medium and large). Using ShapeGrabber€™s 3D inspection systems, PROTON has been able to rapidly scan a variety of complex automotive and non-automotive components in support of the RPMC rapid prototyping activities.
The Ford Research Laboratory was developing a new tooling production process using Spray Metal Deposition. n developing the Spray Metal Deposition process, the Ford Research Laboratory needed to make 3D measurements of complex tool shapes used at three distinct milestones in the process. Using the ShapeGrabber Gantry 3D Scanning System, the Ford Research Laboratory was able to ensure that the initial tooling model, the ceramic die and the final tool were within process specifications.
Testimonial: "Within minutes, instead of two or three weeks, scanning gives us all the surfaces data we need to choose among the production options.Finally, we have enough time to make the tough production , decisions." -Gregory Clark, Inspection Specialist, MPC Inc.
"The Ford Research Laboratory is using ShapeGrabber to verify that the Spray Metal Deposition process will provide high quality tooling to a variety of demanding industries in less time, and at less cost, than traditional methods." - Joseph A. Szuba, Principal Research Scientist, Associate Manufacturing Systems Department, Ford Research Laboratory
"We have been impressed with the quality of the data provided by ShapeGrabber, the flexibility of the system and the ongoing support that we have received since the installation." - Mr. Hambali Boejang, Executive, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Centre, PROTON (Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Berhad)
"For complete inspection of our anatomical implants, we opted for the touchless approach of laser scanning. Our first laser probe system was very slow and had limited function, because it could only acquire one point at a time, and could only measure diameters. We moved to ShapeGrabber's Ai300, a much faster and more versatile alternative". - Roger Erickson, DePuy Orthopaedics, a Johnson and Johnson subsidiary
