(Creaform: Lévis, QC) -- Creaform, a business of AMETEK and a worldwide provider of automated and portable 3D measurement solutions, has announced the launch of the HandySCAN 3D|EVO Series, a powerful handheld 3D laser scanning solution. This innovative series features a built-in touchscreen display and an integrated photo camera, incorporating augmented reality (AR) and advanced on-scanner visualization to significantly enhance the user experience.

Creaform developed portable 3D scanning more than 20 years ago with the original HandySCAN 3D, setting a benchmark in dimensional metrology. Trusted to solve the most complex dimensional measurement challenges for several thousands of demanding customers throughout industries such as automotive, manufacturing, metalworking, and heavy equipment for product development and quality control applications, the HandySCAN 3D brand has delivered metrology-grade accuracy, intuitive operation, versatility, and fastest time to CAD or inspection reports.

Creaform continues its legacy with this next evolution in the HandySCAN 3D lineup. Showcasing all of Creaform’s flagship scanner qualities, such as proven reliability, portability, and unmatched accredited accuracy, the EVO Series introduces an array of innovative features designed to enhance user experience and efficiency, such as wireless capabilities through the Mobility Kit, embedded graphical user interface (GUI), and built-in display for direct validation and real-time operator guidance. Like all Creaform scanners, this series is made in Canada, is supported by the Creaform Metrology Suite, and comes with proficient, multilingual customer support to meet the needs of professionals worldwide.

The HandySCAN EVO|Elite delivers a host of innovative features, each designed to provide tangible benefits, enhancing precision, efficiency, and ease of use for professionals in demanding 3D scanning applications:
• Real-time visualization, quick access to parameters, and processing options directly on the scanner’s 4.3-in. touch screen display, eliminating the back and forth to the computer
• Augmented reality capabilities and straightforward documentation of the inspection process through photography, enabled by the addition of a high-resolution 12 MP camera
• Easy onboarding and essential tools at your fingertips, including 3D manipulation (mesh) and advanced scanning features such as high-resolution mode and clipping options, supported by the scanner’s integrated and user-friendly GUI
• Streamlined repetitive inspections and enhanced quality control processes enabled by the new auto-alignment feature
• An accuracy of 0.020 mm and a volumetric accuracy of 0.020 mm + 0.015 mm/m powered by 46 blue laser lines (+1 extra line)
• The most accurate 3D measurements wherever you need them through the use of a 350 mm scale bar

“As we unveil this innovative lineup, we’re not just introducing a product; we’re transforming how professionals across industries approach 3D measurement precision and efficiency,” says Fanny Truchon, president of Creaform. “A technology that keeps evolving over time, it again demonstrates that Creaform has been reinventing the future of industrial metrology since 2005.”
