Full Review:Vision3D Showcases at AMTS 2026, Embarking on a New Journey of Intelligent Auto Manufacturing with Full-Range Measurement Solutions

The three-day 21st Shanghai International Exhibition on Automotive Manufacturing Technology, Equipment and Materials (AMTS 2026) was successfully held from July 8 to 10 at Shanghai New International Expo Centre and has come to a perfect end.

 

Driven by new quality productive forces, the exhibition featured 14 themed zones, gathering over 800 global exhibitors and 70,000 professional visitors to display cutting-edge technological breakthroughs covering the entire automotive R&D, design and manufacturing chain.

During the exhibition, Vision3D’s Booth D03 in Hall W1 drew steady crowds of visitors.

 

From hardware solutions and software ecosystems to technical presentations and industry-wide recognition, Vision3D comprehensively demonstrated the enhanced value that high-precision 3D vision technology brings to quality control in automotive manufacturing, marking a successful conclusion to its attendance at AMTS.

 

Measuring Quality with Precision: Three Demos Address Full-Scenario Measurement Needs

As core foundational equipment for automotive manufacturing quality control, the scenario adaptability of 3D measurement solutions directly determines their application value scope.

 

At this exhibition, Vision3D displayed three core demos that fully satisfy measurement requirements across all automotive manufacturing scenarios, including full on-line inspection for production lines, flexible automated detection and portable on-site measurement.

3D Measuring Station for BIW Gap & Flush

Among them, the BIW gap and flush 3D measuring station is the first domestically implemented blue-light on-line absolute measurement workstation. It can complete full-area scanning without manual marking or repeated alignment. The probe boasts an accuracy of 0.015 mm with a minimum single-shot capture time of 0.2 seconds, perfectly matching mass production cycle times.

The solution can simultaneously output multi-dimensional data including gap, flush and functional dimensions, supporting dimensional trend early warning and full-lifecycle quality traceability.

 

For inspection of core new energy auto components, the compact automated 3D measuring station AutoScan 500 is equipped with a high-performance 3D probe to standardize the entire workflow of measurement, analysis and trend early warning.

Its modular architecture enables flexible configuration and can be deployed without large-scale production line renovations, precisely meeting flexible production demands featuring multiple product varieties and rapid iterations.

 

Notably, the brand-new wireless handheld 3D scanner VScan S34, making its global debut at the show, fills the gap of flexible scenarios that fixed measuring equipment cannot cover.

VScan S34 Wireless Handheld 3D Scanner

The product features full wireless freedom and comes standard with three scanning modes: Fast, Fine and Deep Hole.

The Fast mode is designed for complete vehicles and large sheet metal parts; the Fine mode captures tiny intricate structures; the Deep Hole mode accurately scans inner cavity features. A single unit covers diverse scenarios including workshop commissioning, R&D reverse engineering, tooling inspection and after-sales measurement.

As an inheritance of Vision3D’s industrial metrology heritage, the VScan S34 maintains extreme flexibility while adhering to metrology-grade accuracy standards to deliver stable and reproducible measurement data.

 

This brand-new handheld device perfectly complements Vision3D’s fixed and automated solutions, jointly forming a full-coverage capability matrix for all factory measurement scenarios.

 

Ecosystem Symbiosis: Jointly Building a Closed-Loop Data Workflow

The joint technical live stream hosted by Vjing3D and PolyWorks Shanghai on the afternoon of the first exhibition day stood out as another major highlight of the company’s booth appearance.

The live broadcast adopted the format of "online booth tour + on-site demonstration + Q&A session", with technical experts from both sides on hand to fully interpret the full-chain solution ranging from hardware data collection to software analysis.

 

In response to the widely concerned industry question of what problems this ecological cooperation addresses, both parties reached a consistent conclusion: it resolves the pain point of data disconnection between hardware and software.

Manufacturing clients used to frequently encounter troubles such as "unexportable measurement data, unopenable exported files and unusable data after opening". Massive measurement data was left idle in reports and failed to effectively support production decision-making.

 

The in-depth cooperation between Vision3D and PolyWorks Shanghai realizes native underlying interconnection. Data collected by measuring equipment can be directly imported into the PolyWorks Shanghai ecosystem without format conversion or secondary development, forming a connected full workflow spanning data collection, analysis and decision-making.

As for questions regarding differentiated solutions, both parties clarified their core advantage: unlike the common post-hoc compatibility modes prevalent in the market, they have achieved in-depth compatibility at the joint development level.

 

Software adaptation for each new device commences simultaneously during its R&D phase, with customized optimizations applied to data formats, transmission protocols and triggering mechanisms. The depth of compatibility far exceeds that of ordinary post-integration access. For customers, what they receive is not two separate products, but a complete out-of-the-box closed-loop quality system that runs stably right after unpacking.

 

Returning with Honors: Technical Accumulation Earns Dual Industry Recognition

Beyond product and solution displays, Vision3D also reaped abundant gains in technical exchanges and industry recognition throughout the exhibition.

Cao Zhaofeng, Director of the Solution Department at Vision3D

At the concurrent 15th Forum on New Energy Vehicle Body Forming and Joining Engineering, Cao Zhaofeng delivered a keynote speech titled Optical Automated Inspection Empowers Digital Intelligent Manufacturing of BIW. Combining real-world application cases, he elaborated on how optical inspection technology fuels the digital upgrading of BIW manufacturing, sharing insights drawn from frontline implementation experience with the industry.

 

During the exhibition, winners of the A+ Awards for Pioneers of New Quality Productive Forces were announced, and Vision3D’s AutoScan 500 automated blue-light measurement solution won this prestigious award.

As a prestigious award focusing on the upgrading of manufacturing industry, the A+ Awards mainly recognize cutting-edge technological achievements that have been put into mass production and genuinely drive industrial transformation.

 

This award not only acknowledges the practical value of the AutoScan 500 solution recognized by the industry, but also affirms Vision3D’s long-term dedication to industrial measurement technology and its efforts to advance the implementation of new quality productive forces.

 

Closing Remarks

 

The three-day exhibition served as a concentrated showcase of our achievements, as well as an in-depth exchange aligned with the pulse of the industry.

 

Against the backdrop of the automotive industry’s accelerated shift toward high-end and intelligent development, high-precision 3D measurement is far more than a simple quality inspection tool. It acts as core infrastructure supporting full-process quality control, process optimization and digital twins, and a vital pillar for realizing new quality productive forces on the manufacturing frontline.

Moving forward, Vision3D will continue to delve into optical automated 3D measurement technology. We will collaborate with ecosystem partners to advance the high-end and intelligent upgrading of automotive manufacturing, and embark on a new journey alongside the industry amid the wave of new quality productive forces.
