Faro Creaform, a business of
AMETEK Inc., and global provider of 3D scanning and portable CMM solutions, has released new additions to the HandySCAN 3D family.
These include the HandySCAN EVO and HandySCAN EVO Plus designecd to enhance everyday inspection workflows through a more intuitive, user-focused platform. In parallel, Faro Creaform is expanding large-part, metrology-grade capabilities with the introduction of two new models for the HandySCAN 3D MAX Series, giving manufacturers a more unified, mobile, and efficient way to measure everything from small parts to large, complex components.
The announcement is led by the next generation of the HandySCAN 3D MAX Series, now represented by the HandySCAN MAX EVO and HandySCAN MAX EVO Elite. Designed for large and complex parts, these models extend the proven EVO platform experience to large-part inspection while preserving the accuracy, robustness, and performance required for quality control, quality assurance, reverse engineering, and non-destructive testing.
The HandySCAN 3D MAX Series enables wireless, cable-free measurements when paired with the Mobility Kit, reducing reliance on fixed workstations or cumbersome setups, and enabling more efficient operations directly at the point of work. With embedded screen functionality, guided workflows, and full mobility, this new generation delivers a more intuitive scan-to-report process while maintaining trusted measurement reliability and tested in ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration laboratories and in accordance to VDI/VDE 2634 standards.
The HandySCAN MAX EVO is positioned for product development applications through its volumetric accuracy of 0.150mm + 0.020mm/m, while the HandySCAN MAX EVO Elite supports inspection and NDT workflows requiring higher precision, with volumetric accuracy of 0.075mm + 0.010mm/m. Together, these models provide a scalable path to portable, metrology-grade measurement for larger parts while maintaining the ease of use and operational flexibility required on the shopfloor.
Supporting this evolution is the introduction of the HandySCAN EVO and HandySCAN EVO Plus, which reinforces Faro Creaform’s focus on efficiency, accessibility, and user experience through integrated on-scanner visualisation and simplified guided workflows.
The EVO platform also brings recognised design leadership to the HandySCAN 3D family. The HandySCAN 3D EVO Series was recently awarded the Red Dot Design Award, reflecting its ergonomic and user-centric design. This evolving, experience-driven approach now extends across both EVO and MAX Series, providing features such as QR code reading on the elite models (EVO Elite and MAX EVO Elite) that enable faster launch of inspection programs.
Jérôme-Alexandre Lavoie, director product management 3D scanners at Faro Creaform, said: “The evolution of the HandySCAN 3D family reflects our commitment to making metrology-grade 3D scanning more intuitive, mobile, and efficient. With the new MAX Series, manufacturers inspecting large and complex parts can benefit from the streamlined platform experience that defines the EVO Series, while preserving accuracy required for critical inspection decisions.”
All new models are fully integrated with the Creaform Metrology Suite, providing a consistent software environment and delivering an unprecedented user experience aligned with the EVO driven architecture. With a unified platform across the HandySCAN 3D family, Faro Creaform continues to strengthen its leadership in portable metrology-grade 3D scanning, giving quality and manufacturing teams a simpler and more scalable way to measure parts of nearly any size with confidence.
