3D scanner Creaform HandySCAN PRO

Creaform HandySCAN PRO — The Professional Standard of Accuracy in 3D Scanning

In the era of industrial digital transformation, the ability to capture precise geometric data quickly has become essential to efficient production. Professionals in mechanical engineering, aerospace, automotive, energy, and medical industries increasingly rely on 3D scanners to create accurate digital replicas of physical objects.

Among the leading solutions, Creaform HandySCAN PRO stands out as more than a portable device — it’s a cutting-edge metrology-grade system designed for experts who demand the highest precision in any environment.

HandySCAN PRO combines simplicity, portability, and exceptional data quality. Its versatility makes it indispensable for reverse engineering, geometry inspection, maintenance, design optimization, and technical analysis.

Purpose and Core Concept

The primary goal of the HandySCAN PRO is to provide fast, accurate, and convenient digital replication of real-world objects of any shape or size. It enables engineers, designers, and technicians to obtain highly detailed 3D data that significantly streamlines the entire product development process.

The scanner is ideally suited for a wide range of professional applications:

• Reverse Engineering – Generating CAD models from physical parts when drawings are unavailable or outdated.
• Quality Control and Inspection – Verifying geometric accuracy of manufactured components against design specifications or master models.
• Rapid Prototyping – Creating precise 3D models for additive manufacturing or product modification.
• Wear and Deformation Analysis – Assessing changes in component geometry during operation.
• Visualization and Archiving – Capturing digital replicas of historical artifacts, medical models, or complex surfaces for research and preservation.

Key Features of the HandySCAN PRO

Unlike traditional measurement instruments, the HandySCAN PRO requires no fixed setup, mechanical tracking, or controlled lighting conditions. Its fully portable design allows professionals to perform accurate measurements directly on the shop floor, in laboratories, or on-site.

The scanner’s ergonomic body ensures user comfort even during long scanning sessions, while its intuitive interface minimizes setup time and training requirements.

The advanced laser technology captures even the most complex geometries with high precision — from matte and dark surfaces to reflective metals or glossy plastics. HandySCAN PRO efficiently scans parts made from metal, composites, polymers, and other materials without surface preparation.

The output data are ready-to-use 3D models compatible with leading CAD/CAM software (SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, Siemens NX, Autodesk, etc.), allowing seamless integration into existing design and manufacturing workflows.

Advantages That Define Excellence

Metrology-Grade Accuracy in Any Environment

HandySCAN PRO delivers reliable measurement precision even in dynamic conditions. Its optical tracking system compensates for operator or object movement, maintaining consistent data quality both in the lab and on the production floor.

Maximum Portability

Compact and lightweight, the scanner is perfect for field use. There is no need to move parts to a measurement lab — data can be captured directly on-site, saving valuable time and resources.

Speed and Simplicity

HandySCAN PRO is designed for efficiency. Setup takes only a few minutes, and the software automatically aligns and merges scan data into a complete 3D model in real time.

Versatility for Any Task

From small precision components to large industrial assemblies, the scanner adapts easily to different object sizes and levels of detail. Its flexibility makes it suitable for both engineering design and technical inspection tasks.

Seamless Digital Integration

HandySCAN PRO integrates perfectly into modern digital workflows. 3D data can be imported directly into CAD environments for reverse engineering, dimensional analysis, or manufacturing preparation.
