Measurement Solutions releases Creaform HandyScan Black scanner in UK

Creaform has unveiled a completely re-engineered and refined update to its HandyScan 3D range – the HandyScan Black – a third-generation version of Creaform’s patented metrology-grade scanner. The HandyScan Black is made for professionals who need an effective and reliable tool to capture accurate dimensional measurements of physical objects. The device is available in the UK from Measurement Solutions.

HandyScan Black combines 3D scanning with improved optics, multiple blue laser technology and a sleek, ergonomic design. As the company’s flagship portable metrology-grade 3D scanner, the HandyScan Black is said to set the standard for measurement, regardless of size, material or complexity, within seconds, anywhere.

Compared with previous-generation units, the HandyScan Black offers four times higher resolution and three times faster measurements. A larger scanning area featuring 11 blue laser crosses that take up to 1.3 million measurements per second, ultimately cuts down the time between data acquisition and workable files. Volumetric accuracy is 0.02 mm + 0.04 mm/m based on VDI/VDE 2634 part 3, as well as ISO 17025.

“HandyScan Black packs the benefits of its predecessors and further takes on quality assurance inspection in the shop, at the machine, in process – where the customers need it,” says Simon Côté, product manager at Creaform.

The HandyScan Black will make its European debut at the Control international trade fair in Stuttgart, Germany, which takes place on 7-10 May.
