This new offering is a fully integrated hardware and software solution designed to accelerate reverse engineering and product development workflows by delivering high-resolution data acquisition and rapid conversion to CAD models.

The HandySCAN 3D|PRO series builds on Creaform’s pioneering legacy in handheld, self-positioning 3-D laser scanning, a category it helped define over two decades ago. Manufactured in North America and supported by multilingual service teams worldwide, the PRO series is engineered for professionals seeking faster, more accurate product development tools that reduce time-to-market and lower costs, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Pierre-Luc Delagrave, product manager at Creaform, said: “Reinventing the future of industrial metrology since 2005, the new PRO series is poised to become the preferred solution for rapid product development and reverse engineering, further solidifying the HandySCAN 3D lineup as an industry benchmark. With its smart price, it offers the best tool to quickly transform concepts to reality, from design to manufacturing, ensuring a perfect fit on the first try, every time.”

The PRO series scanner features 23 blue laser lines and delivers a proven accuracy of 0.030mm, enabling precise scanning of complex geometries and challenging surfaces. Bundled with the Scan-to-CAD Pro software module, the system offers a streamlined path from scan to CAD, with powerful mesh extraction, sketching, and modeling capabilities. Its intuitive design includes a multi-function LCD touchscreen and haptic feedback, making it easy to operate even for users with limited experience.
