Russell Fraser and Gary Costa of Russel Fraser Sales (RFS) have just returned from the official launch of Creaform’s next generation of portable three-dimensional (3D) handheld scanners in Lévis, Canada, and are thrilled to bring the latest innovations in 3D pipeline inspection to pipeline operators in Australia.
HandySCAN 300 and HandySCAN 700
The HandySCAN 700 is now 25 times faster than its former generation, is 40 per cent more accurate and has a volumetric accuracy of 60 micrometers per metre.
The HandySCAN’s TRUaccuracyTM feature ensures accurate measurements in real-life operating conditions.
It features a range of 3D scanning possibilities regardless of part size, complexity or material, and with its quick set-up, the scanner will be operating in less than two minutes.
The HandySCAN’s automatic mesh output produces ready-to-use files as soon as the data acquisition is complete, without any post-processing delays.
Combining the new HandySCAN 700 with the Pipecheck 3D scanning solution for pipeline integrity assessment makes pipeline surface inspection fast, repeatable and reliable.
GoSCAN
Creaform has also released two new versions of the GoSCAN 3D white light scanners, which offer practical ease of use and the ability to scan objects in full colour.
The GoSCAN 50 is designed to measure medium to larger parts and offers optimal flexibility, while the GoSCAN 20 delivers maximum resolution and is ideal for smaller objects with intricate details, making it the perfect companion for 3D printers.
VXmodel
Complimenting this exciting new generation of portable 3D hand-held scanners is Creaform’s new VXmodel scan-to-computer aided design (CAD) and scan-to-print software module, which integrates directly into the in-built 3D software platform, VXelements.
With VXmodel acting as an integrated bridge, users have all the tools they need to prepare their 3D-scan files for CAD or 3D print solutions in one easy-to-master, intuitive application.
