Simplicity and Versatility
The BLACK series offers a user-friendly interface, ergonomic design, and an ability to quickly scan any part. This 3D scanner has a short learning curve, allowing anyone on your team to pick it up and start scanning your parts in real-time.
Simple user interface and real‑time mesh visualization
Plug and play
Highly Portable
As a handheld 3D scanner, this is a stand-alone device that doesn’t need any connection, an external tracking camera, or even a tripod to work.
- Lightweight. This 3D scanner only weighs 0.94kg (2.1lbs)
- Fits in a suitcase. Take your tools with you on the road, the BLACK series of HandySCAN easily fits into a suitcase so you can take this 3D scanner anywhere you need to go.
- No external cameras needed. Other 3D scanners need a tracking camera or set of sensors in order to work. The BLACK series works on its own, making it even more portable.
Metrology-Grade 3D Measurements
The HandySCAN 3D BLACK series offers the best resolution, quality, and accuracy on the market when it comes to hand scanners. You can achieve metrology-grade 3D scans out of the box.
- Accuracy. As low as 0.025mm (0.0009in)
- Reliability testing. Each scanner goes through extensive acceptance testing, including ISO 17025 accreditation and VDI/VDE 2634 part 3 standardization.
- Capture the fine details. This hand-scanner will pick up each minute detail of your part, even the finest details. This ensures each 3D model has all of the information needed.
A Faster Scan
Creaform created this scanner to allow users to very quickly scan without giving up any accuracy. You’ll notice how quickly this tool scans after its first use.
- High measurement rate. The HandySCAN BLACK series can scan up to 1.3 million measurements a second.
- Large scanning area. The BLACK series uses multiple laser crosses and the tool creates an automatic mesh generation. Couple this fact with the fast measurement rate, and you’re able to scan large areas over short periods of time.
- Very fast setup. Out of the box, this tool can start scanning in less than 2 minutes. Being able to start faster means finishing faster, expediting the full engineering process.
