Creaform Handheld 3D Scanner
Creaform MetraSCAN 3D
The MetraSCAN 3D optical CMM scanner line-up is specifically designed for manufacturing and metrology professionals who do not want to compromise on quality or efficiency. It can withstand any production environment, including shop floor vibrations, part movements and environmental instability—all while accelerating 3D measurement workflows. This optical CMM scanner has been engineered to perform highly accurate and repeatable metrology-grade measurements and 3D geometrical surface inspections.
When paired with the HandyPROBE, Creaform’s handheld optical coordinate measuring machine (PCMM) with probing capabilities, users can also harness the power of both 3D scanning and probing for complete, end-to-end inspection processes.
3D scanning software
- VXelements™ The MetraSCAN 3D seamlessly operates with VXelements, a fully integrated, user-friendly 3D scanning software platform. VXelements’s range of advanced modules let you leverage all the dimensional information captured by MetraSCAN 3D in a simplified, feature-rich data processing environment.
- VXmodel™ Scan-to-CAD software module to finalize and prepare 3D scan data for use in any 3D printing or CAD solution
- VXinspect™ Dimensional inspection software module for first article inspections or quality control
Creaform MetraSCAN 3D Features
-
Metrology-grade measurements: accuracy of up to 0.030 mm (0.0012 in.), resolution of up to 0.050 mm (0.0020 in.), high repeatability and traceable certificate
-
Dynamic referencing: optical reflectors are used to create a reference system that is “locked” to the part, so users can move the object any way they want during the measurement process
-
Volumetric accuracy of 0.064 mm (0.0025 in.)
-
Accurate measurement of parts ranging from 0.2 to 10 meters (0.7 to 33 feet) in size
-
No accuracy drift over time with the easy-to-perform field calibration procedure
