Creaform revealed today the release of the HandySCAN 3D|EVO Series™, the strongest handheld 3D laser scanning option available. This groundbreaking series includes a touchscreen display and a built-in photo camera, utilizing augmented reality (AR) and sophisticated on-scanner visualization to greatly improve the user experience.
Creaform introduced portable 3D scanning more than two decades ago with the inaugural HandySCAN 3D, establishing a standard in dimensional metrology. Relied upon to tackle the most intricate dimensional measurement issues by numerous exacting clients in sectors like automotive, manufacturing, metalworking, and heavy machinery, for product development and quality assurance purposes, the HandySCAN 3D brand has consistently represented metrology-grade precision, user-friendly operation, adaptability, and the quickest turnaround to CAD or inspection documentation.
“As we unveil this innovative lineup, we’re not just introducing a product; we’re transforming how professionals across industries approach 3D measurement precision and efficiency,” said Fanny Truchon, President of Creaform. “A technology that keeps evolving over time, it again demonstrates that Creaform has been reinventing the future of industrial metrology since 2005.”
Creaform carries on its tradition with this next advancement in the HandySCAN 3D series. Highlighting all of Creaform’s leading scanner attributes, including established reliability, ease of transport, and exceptional certified accuracy, the EVO Series presents a variety of cutting-edge features aimed at improving user experience and productivity, such as wireless functionality via the Mobility Kit, integrated GUI, and incorporated display for immediate validation and live operator support. Similar to all Creaform scanners, this series is manufactured in Canada, is compatible with Creaform Metrology Suite, and includes expert, multilingual customer support to cater to the requirements of professionals globally.
