Creaform HandySCAN MAX Series
Portable 3D Scanner for Large-Scale Parts and Structures
Portable 3D Scanning for LArge, Complex Parts
The Creaform HandySCAN MAX is a portable, metrology-grade 3D scanner engineered specifically to capture large, complex parts and oversized assemblies. Featuring 38 blue laser lines, integrated photogrammetry, and an embedded 4.3-inch touchscreen display, it accelerates scan-to-report workflows by eliminating the need for surface preparation, cables, or complicated setups.

Features
Metrology-Grade Accuracy at Scale
The HandySCAN MAX Series carries the same accredited accuracy standards found across Creaform's HandySCAN lineup into a scanner designed specifically for large parts, delivering results as precise as 0.075 mm with volumetric accuracy of 0.075 mm + 0.010 mm/m.
BuIlt-in Display
A 4.3" touchscreen is built into the scanner body, keeping operators focused on the part instead of a laptop screen. Real-time mesh visualization and guided workflows shorten the learning curve for new users and speed up routine inspections for experienced ones, especially in tight spaces around large fixtures and tooling where a tethered setup isn't practical.
High-Speed Data Capture
At up to 2,250,000 measurements per second across an extendable scanning area, the HandySCAN MAX captures large, difficult surfaces with no surface prep required in most cases. Scan data is converted into an instant, ready-to-use mesh with automatic alignment and cleanup, so engineering and QA teams spend less time processing data and more time acting on it.
Wireless Mobility
Large parts rarely sit conveniently on a bench. Paired with the optional Mobility Kit, the MAX Series drops the laptop, cart, and trailing cables, giving operators full freedom to move around oversized assemblies and structures. Accuracy stays consistent whether you're in a controlled metrology lab or out on the shop floor, bringing the measurement system to the part, not the other way around.
ADD-ON ACCESSORIES
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.
