contents Accurate and efficient volumetric magnetic field measurements are essential for a wide range of applications. Conventional methods are often limited in terms of measurement speed and applicability, or suffer from scaling problems at larger volumes. This work presents the development of a magnetometer array designed to measure magnetic fields within a spherical volume at a frame rate of 10 Hz. The array consists of 3D Hall magnetometers positioned according to a spherical $t$-design, allowing simultaneous magnetic field data acquisition from the surface of the sphere. The approach enables the efficient representation of all three components of the magnetic field inside the sphere using a sixth-degree polynomial, significantly reducing measurement time compared to sequential methods. This work details the design, calibration, and measurement methods of the array. To evaluate its performance, we compare it to a sequential single-sensor measurement by examining a magnetic gradient field. The obtained measurement uncertainties of approx. 1% show the applicability for a variety of applications.
