Creaform Announces Major Design and Performance Upgrade for its New MetraSCAN 3D Laser Scanner
LÃVIS, Quebec, April 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
New version 12X faster can tackle black, multicolored and shiny surfaces with
metrology accuracy for applications directly on the shop floorÂ
Creaform [http://www.creaform3d.com/en ], the worldwide leader in portable 3D
measurement solutions
[http://www.creaform3d.com/en/metrology-solutions/creaform-product-overview ] and
engineering services [http://www.creaform3d.com/en/3d-engineering-services ], has unveiled
its new 3D scanner for shop-floor operation
[http://www.creaform3d.com/en/metrology-solutions/optical-3d-scanner-metrascan ], the
MetraSCAN 3D. Re-engineered to address increasing manufacturing quality standards, it
offers the best possible combination of accuracy, speed and flexibility for shop-floor 3D
scanning needs.
In addition, the MetraSCAN 3D
[http://www.creaform3d.com/en/metrology-solutions/optical-3d-scanner-metrascan ] is very
intuitive and easy to use, ensuring short learning curves and operation by any level of
user. Enhancements include:
- 1.5X more accurate: Volumetric accuracy of 0.064 mm (0.0025 in.) regardless of
environment instabilities Â
- Fastest 3D scanner on the market: Features the highest measurement rate among all
laser scanners with 480,000 measurements/second-12 times faster than the previous
generation Â
- New light, sturdy design for shop-floor hardware reliability: Offers enhanced user
experience as well as profitable time and cost benefits for operators Â
- Available in 350 and 750 models-and both in Standard and Elite version: Users can
choose the speed and accuracy matching their requirements Â
Thanks to TRUaccuracy, the MetraSCAN 3D's optical-based data acquisition process
provides measurement accuracy for small to large parts and assemblies that are insensitive
to the instabilities of the environment. Efficient on black, multicolored and shiny
surfaces, the system helps manufacturers to quickly address potential quality control
issues at any stage of the production cycle, regardless of part complexity and material.
"Finding a versatile and portable measurement solution that maintains the same level
of performance in busy manufacturing environments can be a tough challenge for quality
control managers and production operators," explains Marco St-Pierre, Vice President,
Innovation and Technologies. "With a strong focus on our customers' application needs, our
goal is to make our optical CMM 3D scanner the new face of shop-floor quality control."
For more in-depth quality control procedures, users can add single-point measurements
with the new HandyPROBE Next portable CMM
[http://www.creaform3d.com/en/metrology-solutions/coordinate-measuring-machines-handyprobe ]
, which, along with the MetraSCAN 3D, is compatible with VXinspect, Creaform's
dimensional inspection software
[http://www.creaform3d.com/en/metrology-solutions/vxinspect-dimensional-inspection-software-module ]
.
Creaform's quality control solutions will be showcased at CONTROL 2016
[http://www.control-messe.de/en/control ], Germany, in hall 5, stand 5108, April 26-29.
