The Creaform HandySCAN EVO is the next generation of metrology-grade handheld 3D scanning, built to help engineers, inspectors, and quality teams work faster without sacrificing accuracy. Featuring an embedded touchscreen display, real-time AR guidance, integrated photo documentation, and wireless operation, it delivers self-positioning accuracy anywhere on the shop floor without arms, tripods, or external tracking systems.

Unlike other handheld scanners that tether the operator to a nearby laptop or workstation, the HandySCAN EVO puts a full graphical interface directly on the device. Operators can monitor scan coverage, adjust parameters, and confirm data completeness without ever breaking eye contact with the part.
The HandySCAN EVO overlays live mesh generation and color-mapped deviation data directly onto the part as you scan, using its built-in AR capability to show operators in real time exactly where more resolution or attention is needed.
Paired with an integrated photo camera, teams can capture visual documentation of the inspection process and automatically link those photos to the corresponding 3D model.
For industries like oil & gas and heavy manufacturing, where parts are often too large or too immovable to bring into a lab, the HandySCAN EVO allows untethered access. The optional Mobility Kit allows engineers to move freely around large assemblies, awkward geometries, or hard-to-reach installations without being constrained by cable length or workstation placement.
The HandySCAN EVO's auto-alignment on CAD feature automatically cleans up and orients scan data against a reference model, minimizing manual editing and making repetitive inspection routines significantly faster to execute. The result is high-resolution, high-fidelity mesh data that's ready for inspection or reverse-engineering software with far less post-processing than traditional scanning workflows require.
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.

Yes. Because the scanner is self-positioning and wireless, it doesn't require a fixed setup, external tracking arm, or lab environment to deliver accurate results. Operators can scan large or awkwardly shaped parts (e.g., tanks, piping, sheet metal assemblies, etc.) directly where they sit, without compromising data quality.
