Creaform launches the HandySCAN Silver Series 3D scanner - technical specifications and pricing

0Shares

3D measurement system manufacturer Creaform has announced the launch of its latest handheld 3D scanner.

The HandySCAN 3D Silver Series is available in two models: the HandySCAN 307 at $19,990 and the higher-performance HandySCAN 700 at $29,900. Aimed at professional engineers and technology companies, the device is intended to provide repeatable metrology-grade 3D measurements for product development and reverse engineering applications.

“For the professionals who need to adapt quickly to their customers’ needs and provide better answers to their inquiries, a reliable 3D scanning solution is indispensable,” states Simon Côté, Product Manager at Creaform. “The possibilities presented by gathering such precise data can open doors to new projects and strengthen the partnerships with existing clients. It cannot be overstated how 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies have become vital for any small-to-medium sized company.

Professional 3D scanning with Creaform

Based in Québec, Creaform already has an extensive portfolio of professional 3D scanning devices. Go!SCAN, the company’s most affordable line, is capable of capturing full color 3D models with a setup time of just five minutes. With a focus on accessibility and ease-of-use, the entry-level range is designed to be usable by individuals of any background in a pick up-and-play manner.

For those looking for more in the way of performance, the HandySCAN and MetraSCAN ranges might be a little more suitable. Built for manufacturing and metrology professionals working in dynamic manufacturing environments, these premium 3D scanner lines offer high-precision measurements for engineering projects.

The HandySCAN 3D Silver Series

The latest addition to the HandySCAN range is characterized by its precision and versatility. Operating on seven red laser crosses, the Silver Series provides users with a scan area measuring 275 x 250mm, an accuracy of up to 0.03mm, and a measurement resolution of up to 0.05mm. With a recommended part size ranging from 0.1 – 4m, the device is reportedly compatible with a whole host of object types, regardless of complexity, surface finish, or color.

At 0.85kg, the Silver Series is lightweight and portable. Designed for both in-house and on-site use, the scanner fits comfortably in a small suitcase and can be set up in around two minutes. It triangulates its own relative position using in-built optical reflectors, meaning it can be used as a standalone device with no tripod or external tracking equipment. Featuring a simple UI and real-time visualization functionality, Creaform’s Silver Series boasts a “shallow learning curve” regardless of the user’s experience level.

Creaform's 3D scanner principles are:

Protect measurements from adverse environmental conditions. Vibrations, unstable lighting, temperature fluctuations and inexperience of the operator do not affect the accuracy of the result. Creaform scanner algorithms are aimed at facilitating the measurement process and increasing the accuracy of the information received

TRUporability - 3D scanning anywhere.

Compact size, light weight, easy transport - everything you need to work 3D scanners almost anywhere.

TRUsimplicity - easy workflow.

It takes less than 5 minutes to collect information, process data, visualize and display a grid for objects of almost any size, color and material. To work with the device does not require pre-configuration or special user experience.

How it works

Source: creaform3d.com

The laser beams of the 3D scanner are directed at the subject, the camera captures the intersection points of the beams and the object. A laser tracker or accessory monitors the spatial position of the scanner. To connect parts of the image, small stickers of a given size, called marks, are used.

MetraSCAN, Go! SCAN, HandySCAN - three models, three ways to collect data.

Each device determines its location in space in relation to the scanned object using different algorithms.

MetraSCAN is the most accurate device in this range. The principles of operation are similar to those of HandySCAN. MetraSCAN can operate as a stand-alone handheld device. However, it was originally designed to work with the C-track device. More about it in the paragraph "Optional equipment".

C-Track

Source: aniwaa. com

The MetraSCAN handheld scanner is housed in a frame with marks to determine its location in space. The work of the scanner is to process data about the shape and surface of the scanned object, it is not tied to reference marks. They are searched for by the C-track, which is equipped with two cameras spaced apart to "capture" a large amount of space.

To obtain a coordinate reference system for the scanner, at least 4 marks, C-track tracks an area up to 16.6 cubic meters in front of it. To bind the coordinate system to the object, marks can be placed on the part under study. When changing the relative position of the C-track and the object, the relationship between the scanner and the object is preserved.

Scanning starts immediately after the C-track finds several marks to create a reference frame in space. C-track keeps track of marks on the device so as not to lose its position in the working coordinate system. Collaboration of devices provides ample opportunities to scan large objects, such as aircraft and cars, in automatic mode and using a relatively small number of tags.

  • Deformation tracking during testing.


Compare with Shining Freescan Trak


Both devices: Shining Freescan Trak and Creaform Metrascan operate on a similar principle: a symbiosis of a 3D scanner with a tracking tracker that determines the position of the scanner in relation to the digitized object.
