NimbleTrack Wireless 3D Scanner by Scantech Wins the 2025 Red Dot Design Award

On April 30, 2025, it was reported by Nanjixiong that the prestigious 2025 Red Dot Design Award—an internationally acclaimed accolade in the field of industrial design—was officially announced. Scantech’s cutting-edge wireless 3D scanner, NimbleTrack, stood out among global contenders for its avant-garde industrial aesthetic and unparalleled product performance. This top-tier international honor not only affirms the brilliance of NimbleTrack’s design but also serves as a testament to Scantech’s formidable spirit of innovation.

NimbleTrack pioneers a fully wireless design philosophy throughout its R&D and manufacturing process. The scanner and tracker are deeply integrated with high-performance chips and embedded battery modules, enabling comprehensive wireless measurement and high-speed, stable data transmission. This innovation liberates users from the constraints of cables, even in elevated, large-scale, or power-limited environments.

Equipped with a new-generation high-performance edge computing module, NimbleTrack achieves a dramatic leap in computing efficiency. Combined with a measurement rate of up to 4.9 million times per second, it delivers a fluid scanning experience, making complex measurements more efficient and seamless.

The NimbleTrack 3D scanner features a compact and refined form, distinguishing itself from its peers. Measuring just 238mm x 203mm x 230mm and weighing a mere 1.3kg, it allows for effortless single-handed operation—even during extended sessions.

The tracker, sized at 570mm x 87mm x 94mm and weighing only 2.2kg, can be flexibly deployed in intricate environments. Its lightweight build enables nimble operations, perfectly balancing technological sophistication and convenience.

This streamlined design significantly enhances usability for large-area scanning, empowering users to navigate large or complex objects with agility and ease.

The NimbleTrack scanner features a groundbreaking carbon fiber monocoque frame. Dozens of embedded components are integrated during mold formation to interface with various optical imaging modules, eliminating the need for post-assembly joints. This approach greatly enhances measurement stability and reliability at high precision.

Built upon Scantech’s robust metrology-grade architecture and proprietary algorithms, NimbleTrack delivers outstanding accuracy—up to 0.025mm. Within its standard tracking range, it achieves volumetric accuracy of 0.064mm. In confined or occluded spaces, the scanner can operate wirelessly on its own, reaching an accuracy of 0.020mm, capturing minute details and adapting seamlessly to diverse measurement scenarios.

NimbleTrack embodies minimalist design and pioneering craftsmanship. Its elegantly flowing contours, combined with a monocoque structure, are accentuated by a dodecahedral surface pattern where marker point clusters are symmetrically distributed—ensuring precise tracking from every angle while upholding a striking visual identity rooted in precision engineering.

User-centric design details further elevate the product—LED indicators clearly reflect operational status, a built-in buzzer provides acoustic feedback, and the ergonomic handle ensures comfortable prolonged use. Every detail reflects the meticulous fusion of cutting-edge aesthetics and engineering ingenuity.

NimbleTrack’s Red Dot recognition marks more than just a triumph in design—it symbolizes Scantech’s transformation from a follower to a pioneer in 3D scanning technology. With its wireless architecture, metrology-grade precision, portability, and exceptional adaptability, NimbleTrack is catalyzing digital transformation across industries—redefining quality inspection workflows and production paradigms, and injecting powerful momentum into smart manufacturing.

In the automotive industry, it enables seamless vehicle body and parts inspection—wireless and sticker-free—capturing exterior and interior 3D data swiftly and precisely, even on glossy or dark surfaces. For hard-to-reach areas, the scanner operates wirelessly and solo, ensuring comprehensive, detail-rich data capture.

In aerospace, its 0.025mm accuracy and full wireless functionality offer reliable on-site support for measuring aircraft and complex components, significantly boosting operational efficiency.

In cultural heritage preservation, NimbleTrack accurately captures artifact details, providing a solid foundation for digital conservation, display, and education.

The scanner also finds wide application in medical, educational, and artistic design fields, becoming a vital tool in advancing digital transformation.

Winning the Red Dot Design Award is a resounding endorsement of Scantech’s product excellence. As a global leader in 3D digitization, Scantech remains steadfast in its commitment to independent innovation, integrating user-centric design deeply into its development philosophy. Looking ahead, Scantech will continue to cultivate the 3D scanning domain, launching more globally competitive products and driving forward the evolution of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization.
