Creaform upgrades its HandyScan 3D scanner technology

By Rachael Pasini | April 24, 2024

Creaform, a business of Ametek, unveiled its next-generation scanners with the introduction of the HandyScan Black+ Elite and the complete redesign of the HandyScan Silver and HandyScan Silver Elite. These latest iterations of the Black and Silver Series promise precision and an enhanced user experience.

The new HandyScan Black+ Elite provides accuracy through the Accu+ kit, enabling the user to confidently rely on an optimized volumetric accuracy of 0.020 mm + 0.015 mm/m. The new Flex Volume provides a greater scanning measurement volume and allows for an adjustable scanning distance that is simple to use, from near (200 mm) to far away (700 mm). Leveraging its newly acquired certifications, the Black Series also ensures precision and measurement reliability through its VDI/VDE 2634 part 3 and ISO 10360-based sensor acceptance tests in its ISO/IEC 17025-2017 accredited laboratories.

The revamped Silver Series has a new ergonomic aesthetic, heightened resolution catering to intricate details, versatile scanning capabilities accommodating various surface types, and user-friendly accessible design. It integrates the advancement of the Black Series, leveraging a proven design, compatibility with the recently launched Automation kit, and benefiting from worldwide support and customer service.

As Simon Côté, product manager at Creaform, emphasized, “We are more than a simple solution provider, we partner with companies to improve our products based on their feedback, ensuring that they get the most out of our 3D scanning technologies and software and get to experience innovation firsthand…With these enhancements in the Black and Silver Series, we provide a complete development path from beginner to expert, in a single lineup; the same that made us pioneers in self-positioning 3D laser scanner.”

To learn more about these latest versions of the HandyScan 3D family, register for the free webinar on May 7, 2024, entitled “Revolutionizing Engineering and Manufacturing: Unleashing the Power of Portable 3D Scanning”. This webinar will showcase real-world case studies and the tangible benefits of Creaform’s new HandyScan Silver and Black scanner models, for product development and quality control.
