Go!SCAN 3D Scanners

Go!SCAN 3D

Generate fast and reliable measurements - the easiest 3D scanning experience.

The Go!SCAN 3D™ product line offers our easiest portable 3D scanning experience, providing fast and reliable measurements. With these handheld 3D scanners, you can even capture 3D data in full color.

You need simplified, quick, and accurate 3D scanning? The Go!SCAN 3D™ were designed with you in mind. Through a very efficient process, these self-positioning systems can be used by anyone without requiring any prior experience or background, and provide visual guidance as you are scanning. Their innovative technology bypasses preparation steps and specific setups, provides a very fast measurement rate, and does not require manual data post-processing.

Highly versatile, they can be used for a wide range of applications, helping professionals throughout the entire product development process.

TRUaccuracy

Professionnal-grade measurements: accuracy of up to 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) and resolution of up to 0.1 mm (0.004 in.).
Built-in intelligence: ensures that 3D data is high-quality and accurate.
Optional targets: possible to use targets to compensate for an object’s lack of positioning information.
No rigid setup required: both the part and the scanner can be moved during scanning.

TRUsimplicity

Hybrid positioning: uses the parts’ natural geometry and color.
Point-and-shoot: no need to prepare parts. Just go!
User-friendly: no experience required, up-and-running in minutes.
Scan in color: allows for seamless capture of high-quality geometry and colors simultaneously.
Real-time visualization: look at the computer screen to see what you are doing and what is left to be done.

Speed

Fast: typical objects are scanned in 5 minutes or less.
High measurement rate: capture large amount of 3D data for faster scanning.
Automatic mesh output: ready-to-use files (geometry and color), right as you complete acquisition.
Quick workflow integration: usable scan files can be imported into RE/CAD/3D printing software without post-processing.

TRUportability

Stand-alone device: the part is the reference, no external positioning system needed.
On-the-go scanning: fits into a carry-on case, so you can use it both in-house or on site.
Lightweight and small: weighs under 1 kg (2.2 lb.), can reach confined areas. Fits into a carry-on.

VXelements

Creaform 3D scanners come with VXelements and the VXscan module, a fully-integrated 3D data acquisition software that powers its entire fleet of 3D scanning and measurement technologies. It gathers all the essential elements and tools into a uniform, user-friendly and intuitive working environment.

VXscan

VXscan is entirely dedicated to the acquisition and optimization of 3D scanning data. It delivers high performance for that specific task, yet it is simple and user-friendly enough to suit any user’s experience level.

Key features:

Offers a surface optimization algorithm that avoids the creation of multiple scan layers and ensures a more accurate meshing without any post-treatment. The output is an optimized meshing that can be exported in all standard formats;
No limitation to the scan resolution: just input a resolution value, independent from the size of the scanned object. Resolution can be changed at any time before or after the scan. The software can recreate a meshing from the raw data previously acquired;
Surface is rendered in real time (the user can view the 3D surface as the object is being scanned);
The creation, from the meshing, of geometrical entities;
Several other functions related to the optimization of the meshing such as hole filling, smart decimation (without definition loss on the meshing), or boundary filters.

VXinspect: dimensional inspection software module

VXinspect is an intuitive and powerful 3D inspection software designed for manufacturing companies conducting first article inspection (FAI) or quality control. Directly integrated into VXelements™, Creaform’s 3D software platform and application suite, VXinspect provides the simplest integration of probing and scanning measurement capabilities.

VXmodel: Scan-to-CAD software module

VXmodel is a post-treatment software that directly integrates into VXelements and seamlessly allows to finalize 3D scan data for use directly in any CAD or 3D printing software. VXmodel provides the simplest and fastest path from 3D scans to your CAD or additive manufacturing workflow.

VXremote: Remote access software application

VXremote improves your efficiency in the field by providing fast and easy remote access to VXelements. It offers quick activation and set-up and requires no hardware or server to install or maintain. You can have all its data acquisition functionalities at your fingertips… Available only with the Creaform Certified Rugged Tablet!
