HandySCAN 3D PRO Series

A Professional Portable 3D Scanner with Scan-to-CAD Pro Included

Proven Performance for Reverse Engineering and Product Development

The Creaform HandySCAN 3D PRO Series combines a professional-grade portable 3D scanner with Scan-to-CAD Pro software, creating a complete solution for capturing physical parts and transforming scan data into editable CAD models.

Designed for engineers, designers, educators, and technology innovators, the HandySCAN 3D PRO captures accurate and repeatable measurements from complex surfaces in the lab, on the production floor, or in the field. Its portable design, blue laser technology, integrated touchscreen, and streamlined software workflow make professional 3D scanning accessible to users with varying experience levels.

Why Choose the HandySCAN 3D PRO Series?

The lightweight handheld scanner can be transported to the object instead of requiring parts to be moved to a dedicated measurement system. Dynamic referencing lets the scanner and the part move during scanning while maintaining the positioning needed to generate reliable 3D data.

The HandySCAN 3D PRO uses 23 blue laser lines to capture complex geometries and surface details. The scanner suits components from small parts to objects measuring several meters, giving schools and industrial users greater flexibility across projects.

The integrated touchscreen and real-time visualization help users monitor scanning progress, identify areas that still need to be captured, and manage the scanning workflow more efficiently.

Scan-to-CAD Pro is part of the Creaform Metrology Suite and is included with the HandySCAN 3D PRO Series. The software helps users convert 3D scan data into editable CAD models through an integrated reverse-engineering workflow.

  • Edit and optimize polygon meshes
  • Align scan data with the required coordinate system
  • Extract geometric features and cross-sections
  • Create two-dimensional sketches from scan data
  • Develop three-dimensional and parametric CAD models
  • Transfer models into compatible CAD platforms

HandySCAN 3D PRO Applications

The HandySCAN 3D PRO is designed for applications in which existing physical components must be accurately captured, evaluated, redesigned, reproduced, or documented.

  • Reverse engineering: Capture components without existing CAD files and transform the resulting data into editable models.
  • Product development: Digitize prototypes, existing products, tooling, and components to accelerate design changes.
  • Replacement parts: Recreate obsolete or custom components when original drawings are unavailable.
  • Additive manufacturing: Prepare physical objects for redesign, customization, or 3D printing.
  • Tooling and fixtures: Capture jigs, molds, fixtures, and production tooling for modification or reproduction.
  • Education and research: Teach students a complete workflow from physical-part capture to an editable CAD model.

From Physical Part to Editable CAD Model

The HandySCAN 3D PRO and Scan-to-CAD Pro support a streamlined reverse-engineering process:

  1. Capture the physical part with the portable 3D scanner.
  2. Review the scan and complete any missing surface areas.
  3. Edit, clean, and align the resulting mesh.
  4. Extract cross-sections, surfaces, and geometric features.
  5. Create sketches and parametric three-dimensional models.
  6. Export or transfer the finished model into a compatible CAD workflow.

HandySCAN 3D PRO for Education

The PRO Series gives students hands-on experience with technology used in engineering, manufacturing, and product-development environments. Learners can scan physical components, work directly with measurement data, and complete practical scan-to-CAD projects.

Eligible institutions may also be able to incorporate the scanner into a broader Creaform ACADEMIA package with multi-seat software licensing, educational materials, e-learning courses, warranty coverage, and software updates.

Is the HandySCAN 3D PRO Right for Your Application?

The HandySCAN 3D PRO is particularly well suited for organizations seeking a portable, professional-grade reverse-engineering solution with integrated scan-to-CAD software. Applications requiring higher-level dimensional inspection, accredited metrology performance, automated inspection, or specialized large-part capabilities may benefit from another Creaform system.
