High Quality CAD and Blueprint Scanner Systems
All Colortrac scanners are ideal for scanning CAD drawings, blueprints or any wide format technical document.
If you only want to scan technical documents, choose a SmartLF SCi wide format scanner. If you want the versatility to scan technical documents, artwork and photos, choose one of the SGi scanners.
If your technical documents are dirty or in poor condition, we also recommend SmartWorks Imaging software. This allows you to quickly and easily clean up CAD drawings or blueprints.

Scanning your technical documents using SmartWorks software – key benefits
- “Intelligent Adaptive Thresholding” is a special alghorithm inside Colortrac software allows the operator to clean up the background of old CAD drawings and blueprints with almost no effort. Copies and prints that once were too difficult to read can be brought back into a near-new condition in digital form ready for archiving.
- “Scan-it-once” is the Colortrac time-saving innovation that applies to most of the processes that can be used to clean up and improve documents during live scanning. Simply review a document, then adjust and save the scan. There’s no need to rescan or even save the settings if you don’t want to as the software will continue to apply the changes. All of this adds up to a huge workflow prodctivity advantage.
