What if you didn’t have to bring the part to the CMM… but could bring metrology to the part?

Traditional inspection often means:
❌ Moving large or heavy components
❌ Waiting for access to a CMM room
❌ Delays in production and decision-making

With handheld solutions from Creaform, that approach changes completely.
Using scanners like the HandySCAN 3D series and the MetraSCAN 3D, you can take metrology directly to the part — on the shop floor, in the workshop, or even on-site.

✔ No dedicated CMM room required
✔ Measure large or fixed components in place
✔ Reliable accuracy, even in real production environments
✔ Faster inspections and quicker decisions

Whether it’s a large assembly, tooling, or a critical component, portability means less downtime and more efficiency.

We take a quick look at the powerful new EVO Scanner by Creaform.

Redefined User Experience (Embedded Touchscreen & UI)

The EVO Series features a 4.3-inch built-in touchscreen display and an intuitive, embedded graphical user interface (GUI). This allows operators to visualize 3D scans in real-time, change parameters, and validate data quality directly on the device, reducing the need to constantly look back and forth at a computer screen.

Unmatched Metrology-Grade Accuracy and Performance

Engineered for demanding applications, the scanner delivers a certified accuracy of up to 0.020 mm. It is powered by 46 blue laser lines, providing rapid data acquisition and high-resolution, detailed, and reliable 3D scan data even on challenging, shiny, or complex surfaces.

Optimized Workflow Efficiency (AR & Auto-Alignment)

The scanner integrates augmented reality (AR) tools and a 12 MP camera to enhance the inspection process, allowing for real-time mesh generation and better documentation. It also includes automatic alignment to CAD, which speeds up repetitive, complex inspection tasks and reduces the time required for data cleanup.
