Creaform is introducing the latest addition to its flagship HandySCAN 3D line-up, the MAX series. The handheld MAX series of industrial 3D scanners offers a 3D scanning area of approximately 1 x 1m and acquires accurate 3D measurements of any large and complex surfaces, reports the company.

Featuring a multiple scanning mode that allows users to choose either the fastest scanning time or maximum resolution, the new portable 3D scanners offer a level of versatility that will enable professionals to measure any large parts and assemblies up to 15 m. Combining the effect of speed, extra-large measuring volume, accuracy, portability and simplicity, the scanners allow for an easy, efficient and robust measurement process of parts typically present in the aerospace, transportation, energy, mining and heavy industries, among others.

Thanks to its volumetric accuracy of 0.1 mm + 0.015 mm/m, ISO 17025 accreditation and compliance with the VDI/VDE 2634 part 3 standard, the MAX series provides metrology-grade results, making it suitable for quality control and demanding reverse engineering of large parts. Additionally, the latest scanners still feature Creaform’s dynamic referencing algorithms, allowing for accurate and rigorous 3D scans of any object, whether in the lab, on the shop floor or in the field.

The system is plug-and-play and quick to set up. It is possible to integrate 3D scans into any CAD softwareeasily and seamlessly, accelerating and simplifying product development, 3D inspection and reverse engineering processes of large parts and assemblies.

“Measuring large and complex 3D surfaces with a handheld device was previously very challenging or, in certain cases, impossible,” says product manager Simon Côté. “The unique capability of the MAX series closes the gap and provides innovative dimensional measurement solutions.”
