BEACON
EDDY CURRENT SURFACE SCANNER
The world’s first 3D printer surface scanner for a sub-micron bed mesh in seconds.
Nervous about your first layer?
Beacon is so fast, it scans right before the first layer, measuring exactly what you’re printing on.
1
ATTACH
Attach the 3.5g Beacon to your printer toolhead.
2
SCAN
Scan your bed in 20 seconds or less with 0.5µm (0.0005mm) resolution.
3
PRINT
Print with the confidence of a precise last second scan.
Fast Surface Mesh
Beacon directly measures distance for rapid mesh construction at up to 500mm/s, without ever moving the z axis.
Uncompromising Precision
Meticulously optimized to achieve 0.5um resolution at 1k samples per second with <350nm typical standard deviation.
High Temperature
Rated up to 110C ambient, Beacon is designed for minimal thermal drift and equipped with active temperature compensation.
Beacon Technology
Beacon uses eddy current to scan your print surface at the sub-micron level for consistent results and high repeatability.
