HandySCAN Features
Reliable Measurements. Exceptional Detail.
Capture precise, repeatable scan data with confidence. The HandySCAN 3D BLACK combines high-resolution laser technology with advanced measurement capabilities to accurately reproduce complex geometries, intricate features, and freeform surfaces. Dynamic referencing technology continuously tracks both the scanner and the part, ensuring dependable results even if movement occurs during scanning.
Portable by Design
Take professional-grade 3D scanning wherever your work takes you. Compact, lightweight, and completely self-positioning, the HandySCAN 3D BLACK requires no tripod or external tracking system. Simply unpack, calibrate, and begin scanning in virtually any environment, from engineering offices and manufacturing facilities to customer sites and field locations.
Faster Data Capture & Smarter Workflows
Reduce time spent preparing parts and processing scan data. With rapid data acquisition, automatic mesh generation, and a streamlined scan-to-mesh workflow, engineers can quickly capture everything from fine details to large assemblies while shortening inspection and product development cycles.
Real-world applications include:
- Reverse engineering
- Product development
- Quality inspection
- Dimensional analysis
- First article inspection
- Manufacturing validation
ADD-ON ACCESSORIES
Creaform’s Max Shot 3D System can be integrated for product development, manufacturing, quality control and inspection teams that need the highest measurement accuracy and repeatability as much for large‑scale projects than for parts from 2 to 10 m. achieving an accuracy of 0.015mm/m or better. The VXremote tablet mirrors the screen on the computer the HandySCAN is connected to so the user can get into confined scanning areas and hard to reach places without having to try to keep the computer screen in view to see the scan data being collected.
