Manchester Metrology Ltd, based in Ashton-under-Lyne, a supplier of a comprehensive range of measurement solutions and services for various industries, including automotive and aerospace, has been announced as an official UK reseller for
3DeVOK’s MT and MQ 3-D scanners in the UK. Powered by Scantech’s industrial-grade scanning technology they offer high accuracy, simple operation and portability, and deliver high-quality scanning at a highly competitive price.
Both 3-D scanners use structured light technology and are designed to capture detailed 3-D data efficiently. They offer target-free scanning, which simplifies the process and allows scanning in more varied environments without the need for markers. This flexibility makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, including reverse engineering, product design and digital documentation. They can also be used for face and body scanning. Their compact size and quick set-up help integrate them smoothly into existing workflows, allowing users to focus on capturing accurate, reliable data.
The MT is the more precise of the two, offering up to 0.04mm accuracy. It produces detailed scans and is ideal for projects requiring high accuracy. The MT uses 34 blue laser lines, 22 infrared laser lines and large-area infrared speckle in its scanning technology. The MQ scanner, meahwhile, provides accuracy up to 0.08mm and supports full-colour capture. It utilises a 22-line infrared laser and infrared speckle light with a double field of view. Furthermore, an optional wireless handle is available for both scanners, offering freedom from cables and enabling scanning in more flexible environments.
Adding 3DeVOK scanners to its range allows Manchester Metrology to support a wider variety of projects and budgets. The company already provides high-precision metrology services along with measurement and scanning equipment including portable arms, laser trackers and CMMs. The MT and MQ offer an alternative when detailed colour scanning and portability are essential, while keeping costs manageable.
Demand for 3-D scanning continues to grow, with many businesses seeking equipment that delivers quality results without complex set-up or a steep learning curve. Both the MT and MQ strike that balance well, offering a professional-level performance while remaining straightforward and cost-effective to operate.
Shortly after becoming official UK resellers, Manchester Metrology showcased both scanners at the
TCT 3Sixty exhibition held at the NEC, Birmingham earlier this month. Paul Bulman, Director at Manchester Metrology, said: “The reaction to the MT and MQ scanners was remarkable. Visitors were genuinely impressed by the scan quality, high accuracy and ease-of-use — especially with features like full-colour capture, target-free setup and optional wireless operation – all at a highly competitive price point. Interest came from a broad range of people and organisations – from large businesses and start-ups to universities and individuals – and we received over 70 leads on the very first day. It really underlines the strong demand for accessible, high-quality 3-D scanning solutions in the UK market.”
It is worth noting that Manchester Metrology is currently offering the MQ at £1,650, a saving £549 (excluding VAT), while the MT is priced at £4,850 (excluding VAT), a saving of £1,050, but this limited offer will end on 30 June 2025.
