Patented Technology

“As manual measurement and prototyping became more and more time consuming for us, we decided to take the next step and invest into our companies future with the help of the HandySCAN 3D scanner and VXelements software.“

Stefan Etter, Owner/Director, IEE Limited

Accuracy

The HandySCAN 3D | SILVER Series delivers accurate and reliable 3D measurements regardless of the measurement setup quality and the user’s experience level. Featuring dynamic referencing, both the scanner and part can move freely during scanning, and an accurate and high-quality scan can still be obtained.

Accuracy
Up to 0.030 mm
Volumetric accuracy
0.020 + 0.060 mm/m
High repeatability and traceable certificate
High level of detail

Proven and trusted technology

With a design inspired by Creaform’s flagship metrology-grade 3D scanner, the SILVER series benefits from the high-quality performance of the BLACK series but at an accessible price, making it the best value for money on the market. Manufactured in North America and purchased by over 5,000 users, this proven and trusted technology exemplifies Creaform’s commitment to reliability and attentive service.
