Creaform HandySCAN 700 Elite review
Creaform HandySCAN 700 Elite (SILVER Series) review
In short, the HandySCAN 700 is an excellent product with a well-rounded, professional software suite.
This 3D scanner is a trailblazer on several levels. Its cable management system, colored LED distance indicator, and “thumb-accessible” buttons are innovations that have become standard on Creaform products and are now imitated by competing brands.
Its red-colored lasers provide great results, even on reflective surfaces, although we must say that the mandatory markers are a bit of a hassle. The “single beam” mode is a bit slow but performs very well on intricate details and geometries.

scopes and overview of models / Sudo Null IT News
3D laser scanning - creating a digital model of a physical body using a laser beam. The technology is non-contact, works at close and long distances, eliminates damage to objects during scanning. The principle of operation of 3D laser scanners: a directed laser beam is reflected from the surface of an object, forming a cloud of points. Each point has its own coordinates in space. The software identifies them and creates a finished 3D digital model based on this data.
From the overview you will find out where laser scanning is used and what equipment is used to solve related problems.
Purpose of laser scanners
Source: newequipment.com
Compared to traditional measurement methods, laser scanners have an important advantage - they can digitize objects with complex surfaces and work in hard-to-reach places for humans.
The main areas of application of devices are input and output quality control in production, inspection of working devices in order to prevent and eliminate defects, reverse engineering and other areas.
Construction, renovation and renovation of objects
Source: ellisdon.com
During the preparation of the building project, it is necessary to evaluate the features of the site and the cost of the forthcoming works. With the help of 3D laser scanners, a landscape model is created, on the basis of which further work is carried out. During the construction process, intermediate control of the geometry of future buildings is required: walls, corners, openings, etc. Laser scanning copes with this task more accurately and faster than conventional measuring technologies.
The basis for an exterior or interior renovation is often an accurate digital model, on the basis of which changes and additions to the current interior or exterior are planned.
Laser scanners are also indispensable in this area.
Road networks and transport

Reduce construction costs and time with FARO Focus
Source: autodesk.com
US construction company Gilbane invested $60,000 in the purchase of a FARO Focus-S 350 laser scanner, software and employee training. At first glance, the amount seems too large for a small-scale firm. But, after making calculations, the company's management came to the conclusion that the investments would pay off in the shortest possible time.
According to Gilbane's director of 3D design, John Tocci Jr., after introducing the expensive new technology, the company began to use the equipment even in areas where it was not originally planned.
The specialists managed to save $30,000 for one hour of Focus-S 350 and Autodesk Revit software.

At the time of the start of work, the architects had at their disposal drawings made 85 years ago, and a little more than 4.5 thousand square meters of the old building. Using a 3D laser scanner, Gilbane digitized the training areas in one day. The modernization of the load-bearing structures, as well as the main utility systems: plumbing, electrical and ventilation, was based on the data obtained from the scan.
Quality Inspection with ScanTech
Source: 3d-scantech.com
The advantage of metal stamping over forging and casting is the lower weight and thickness of the resulting parts. The use of molds gives high accuracy and maximum compliance of the obtained parts with the specified characteristics, but does not completely exclude deviations and deformations. Which, in turn, can lead to difficulties in assembling finished products and reducing product quality. Therefore, constant quality inspection is a necessary part of production.
Having understood the manufacturer's tasks, ScanTech suggested checking the quality of stamped parts using the PRINCE laser scanner. The ability to switch blue and red laser modes allowed the device to combine the functionality of traditional portable and metrological 3D scanners. The mode of operation with an active beam of a red laser provides fast digitization of objects. In the case of increased requirements for accuracy and detail, turn on the blue laser beam mode.
