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.

📩 Get in touch to see how portable metrology can transform your inspection workflow.
