Creaform, a business of AMETEK, Inc., announced the latest advancements to its HandySCAN 3D|MAX Series. These improvements include a significant enhancement of the volumetric accuracy for large parts, additional measurement feedback to guide users confidently capture the right data on the first attempt, as well as other software upgrades designed specifically to enhance hardware performance.

With the introduction of new algorithms, the HandySCAN 3D|MAX Series now achieves an accredited volumetric accuracy of up to 0.075 mm + 0.010 mm/m, which represents, for example, over 30% increase in accuracy on a 5 m part. A new target acquisition mode, enhanced target quality indicators, and a target deviation table have also been integrated to provide comprehensive measurement feedback, ensuring the quality of the 3D model, as well as an increase in speed, portability, and simplicity.

The HandySCAN 3D|MAX Series offers significant ROI by drastically reducing the time and resources required for product development and quality assurance. With faster and more accurate measurements, companies can shorten their design cycles and accelerate time-to-market, providing a competitive edge by allowing quicker response to market demands and the ability to secure new business opportunities.
