NZ supportLocal training and backupPoint, shoot, and the mesh is ready
Dynamic referencing off the part's own geometry and colour means most objects scan with no targets and no preparation. The live preview shows what's captured and what's left, and the mesh is usable the moment you stop.
Out of the case and scanning in under two minutes.
Ready-to-use files straight from acquisition.
Object and scanner can both move freely during scanning.
First-time users capture usable scans the same day.
Geometry and full colour in one pass
The SPARK captures texture alongside geometry, so the scan carries the part's actual colours and markings - valuable for design review, documentation, heritage work and anything headed for visualisation or 3D printing.
True colour captured with the geometry, not painted on later.
0.100 mm resolution holds intricate detail.
Organic shapes and freeform parts are home ground.
Performance holds up outside the lab.
Professional scanning without the metrology overhead
For product development, design and education, the Go!SCAN gets accurate, full-colour 3D data into your workflow without metrology-lab process.
Applications
What teams use it for
Product design
Capture clay models, mock-ups and existing products as design references.
Reverse engineering
Digitise legacy parts and freeform shapes for CAD rework.
Quality checks
Fast part-to-CAD comparison where 0.050 mm accuracy is enough.
Education
An approachable first scanner for engineering and design programmes.
Creaform.OS runs the show
The Go!SCAN SPARK ships with Creaform.OS, the operating software behind the whole FARO | CREAFORM range. Acquisition, live mesh and cleanup happen in one place, so what leaves the scanner is already usable.

HandySCAN 3D MAX Series
3D measurement efficiency, scaled for large parts.
The HandySCAN 3D MAX Series takes the EVO platform's on-tool display, wireless capture and ease of use, and scales it to the parts a standard handheld volume can't cover - buckets, frames, vessels and full assemblies.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need targets or spray to scan?
Usually not. The Go!SCAN positions itself off the part's own geometry and colour, so most objects scan with no preparation at all. Targets remain an option for featureless surfaces, and a sublimating spray like AESUB covers the rare stubborn finish.
How does it differ from the HandySCAN range?
The HandySCAN series are laser scanners built for metrology-grade accuracy (0.020 to 0.030 mm) in certified workflows. The Go!SCAN trades some accuracy (up to 0.050 mm) for speed, simplicity and full-colour capture. If your work is design, documentation or education rather than certified inspection, the Go!SCAN is usually the better fit.
What does colour capture actually give me?
The scan carries the part's real texture - colours, markings, labels and wear. That matters for design review, as-built documentation, heritage digitisation, and any model headed to visualisation or full-colour 3D printing.
How long until my team is productive?
It's the shortest learning curve in the range - setup takes under two minutes and the live preview shows exactly what's left to capture. Professional CAD Systems provides local onboarding and support with every system we supply.
Can I try one before buying?
Yes. We work evaluation-first: tell us about your parts and what you need from the data, and we'll arrange a demonstration or evaluation, with short-term hire available if you want to prove the workflow first.
