The HandySCAN 3D™ series of laser, handheld 3D scanners are ideal for scanning parts ranging from the size of a golf ball to the size of a small car. They are a great tool for both reverse engineering (scan-to-CAD) and inspection workflows. HandySCAN systems are as close to “plug and play” as they get in the 3D scanning world. They have proven to be an industry leader, award winners, and go-to options for professional 3D scanner users. They are some of the fastest, most accurate, portable, and easy to use 3D scanners on the market.
HandySCAN 3D scanners come in a robust hard case with everything needed to complete an amazing 3D scan. With their compact, briefcase like size, HandySCAN systems are easy to travel with and can be packed into any vehicle or carried on to any commercial aircraft and fit into the overhead bins. The HandySCAN itself weighs around 2 lbs and has no hard-mounting connections. It is a handheld 3D scanner tethered only by a USB cable and a power connection. The USB cables come standard at 4 meters, can be ordered up to 16 meters, and power can be connected to a battery pack making the HandySCAN on of the most portable 3D scanners in the industry today.

HandySCAN scanners can very quickly be plugged in, set up, and ready to begin scanning. The Creaform.OS scanning software, which is included with HandySCAN 3D scanners to complete the 3D scan process, is easy to learn, easy to follow, and easy to use. It even includes a guided workflow for beginners or more specialized 3D scanning projects. Even inexperienced users can complete great 3D scans with a HandySCAN.
The HandySCAN EVO Elite is capable of holding 0.0006" accuracy and picking up extremely small details in a scan. HandySCAN is often the go-to series for shop floor inspections due to its speed, accuracy, and precision when 3D scanning virtually any surface including polished surfaces like gloss black and chrome. The HandySCAN series is often able to replace the use of a slow CMM for inspection needs - and for reverse engineering, it's hard to beat the HandySCAN's scan quality and detail definition on parts.


Max Shot 3D Photogrammetry and VXremote tablet. 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.
To help you get even more out of your Creaform handheld 3D scanner, add-ons are available to match your workflow.
The Automation Kit boosts productivity and helps quality control teams keep pace with evolving inspection demands, all without sacrificing the flexibility that handheld scanning is known for.
For teams looking to move freely on the shop floor, the Mobility Kit removes cable constraints, packaged in a compact, lightweight module built for safe, unrestricted movement.
Together, these kits let you tailor your scanning setup to the demands of any environment.
