The Creaform HandySCAN 3D BLACK Series is a portable metrology-grade laser scanner designed for accurate, high-resolution, and repeatable measurement of physical parts. It allows design, manufacturing, quality, and metrology professionals to capture reliable 3D data in the inspection lab, on the production floor, or in the field.
With accuracy of 0.025 mm, rapid data acquisition, dynamic referencing, and blue-laser technology, the BLACK Series can measure complex components and challenging surfaces while remaining insensitive to many of the environmental changes that affect traditional measurement systems.
Accuracy: 0.025 mm (0.0010 in)
Volumetric accuracy: 0.020 mm + 0.040 mm/m
Measurement resolution: 0.025 mm (0.0010 in)
Measurement rate: Up to 1,300,000 measurements per second
Light source: 22 blue laser lines plus one additional line
Working distance: 200 to 450 mm (7.9 to 17.7 in)
Operating software: Creaform.OS
The HandySCAN 3D BLACK Series combines metrology-grade performance with a portable, self-positioning design. It does not require a tripod or external tracking system for standard operation, allowing users to bring accurate 3D measurement directly to the part. Real-time visualization in Creaform.OS helps operators monitor coverage and identify areas that still need capturing.
Get the system ready quickly and bring metrology-grade scanning directly to parts in the lab, on the shop floor, or in the field.
Monitor scanning progress, view the developing mesh, and identify missing areas through the intuitive Creaform.OS interface.
Blue-laser technology supports the measurement of complex geometries and challenging materials, including dark or reflective surfaces.
Capture detailed features and larger components with one portable scanner for inspection, engineering, and product-development workflows.
Dynamic referencing tracks the scanner in relation to the measured component. The scanner and part can move during data acquisition while the system maintains their relative positioning.
This capability makes the BLACK Series practical for production floors, field applications, and other active environments where vibration or movement may make traditional measurement methods more difficult.
The BLACK Series provides accurate and repeatable measurement data for applications that require more than visualization-quality scans. Its ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration supports confidence in inspection and quality-control results.
Users can capture parts, generate meshes, compare measurement data with CAD models, analyze dimensional variation, and communicate inspection findings.
The HandySCAN 3D BLACK Series can support a complete digital measurement workflow:
Creaform.OS is the current operating and data-acquisition platform included with Creaform 3D measurement devices. It connects the scanner, acquisition process, real-time visualization, and measurement data within a unified user experience.
Depending on your application and selected configuration, the BLACK Series can be paired with modules from the Creaform Metrology Suite:
Creaform’s MaxSHOT 3D is a portable photogrammetry system designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of large-scale measurement projects. It can support product development, manufacturing, inspection, and quality-control applications involving large parts and assemblies.
Integrated user guidance provides feedback during image acquisition, helping operators capture the information required for reliable measurements without relying on a traditional photogrammetry workflow.
The portable workstation helps users take advantage of the BLACK Series’ mobility on production floors and in field environments. It provides a practical way to transport and operate the scanner and supporting computer equipment near the part being measured.
The BLACK Series gives students hands-on experience with metrology-grade scanning and inspection workflows used in modern manufacturing. Learners can practice measurement planning, 3D data acquisition, CAD comparison, dimensional analysis, and reporting.
Eligible institutions may be able to incorporate the BLACK Series into a broader Creaform ACADEMIA package with multi-seat software licensing, instructional materials, e-learning, warranty coverage, and software updates.
