Hexagon launches HYPERSCAN to accelerate large-part inspection in aerospace

Precision technologies provider, Hexagon, has introduced HYPERSCAN, a new portable 3D scanning system aimed at addressing long-standing inspection challenges in aerospace manufacturing and MRO environments.

Designed for medium-to-large components, HYPERSCAN enables operators to scan parts of up to 7 metres without the need for reference targets, reducing setup time and allowing entire structures to be captured from a single position.

The system captures up to 8.3 million points per second and uses optical tracking to maintain accuracy even in vibrating or high-activity production areas, supporting inline and near-line inspection.

For aerospace manufacturers and maintenance providers, the ability to inspect large, complex structures without disrupting production is a key benefit.

HYPERSCAN’s target-free workflow and tolerance to movement make it suited to applications such as airframe structures, large assemblies and critical components where access and stability are often constrained.

The system is certified to VDI/VDE 2634-3 standards and validated by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. It also supports automation-ready integration with industrial robots, cobots and rotary tables, allowing aerospace operators to incorporate scanning into automated inspection cells and digital quality workflows.

HYPERSCAN is available globally in two models: HYPERSCAN Ultra, offering a range of up to 5.5 metres, and HYPERSCAN Super, which extends coverage to 7 metres at full capture speed.

Both variants are designed to support high-throughput aerospace production while maintaining inspection accuracy across large and safety-critical components.
