Comparison of Portable 3D Scanners and Measuring Arms

Before purchasing the HandySCAN 3D, a metrology-grade portable 3D scanner, Steelte used a conventional measurement arm, which had very limited capabilities compared to portable 3D scanners
.
Steelte chose the HandySCAN 3D, Creaform's metrology-grade portable 3D scanner, for its fast acquisition speed and high scan accuracy
.

In contrast to the measuring arm, the scanning system is not restricted in terms of movement and can be rotated and moved during the scanning process, thus enabling fast and precise acquisition of all surfaces of the scanned object, even complex geometries, openings and apertures
.

In addition, the 3D scanner is extremely portable: packed in a small carrying case, it can be taken anywhere to scan objects quickly and easily
.
It does not require as rigorous a configuration as a measuring arm and can provide accurate measurement data even in harsh production workshops
.

"With its advanced technology, ease of use and portability, Creaform's innovative scanning system allows us to speed up the scanning process, produce more accurate products, and improve our Productivity .

We love HandySCAN 3D
.
Given the pleasure of working with Creaform from the demo stage all the way to the training session, we hope to continue working with them and we will definitely be purchasing more Creaform products in the future
