Creaform HandySCAN 300 3D Laser Scanner
The Creaform HandySCAN 300 is a portable handheld 3D laser scanner that delivers metrology grade measurements in the shop the lab or on site. Made by Creaform an AMETEK company it is the entry level model of the second generation HandySCAN 3D range designed for product development and engineering professionals who need an accurate reliable way to digitize physical objects. It is fast to set up easy to learn and light enough to carry anywhere.
Key Features
- Metrology-grade accuracy: up to 0.040 mm with volumetric accuracy of 0.020 mm + 0.100 mm/m
- Improved accuracy with MaxSHOT 3D: volumetric accuracy of 0.020 mm + 0.025 mm/m when paired with Creaform optical coordinate measuring system
- High resolution: 0.100 mm measurement resolution
- Fast acquisition: 205,000 measurements per second using three laser crosses (six laser lines) and about 25 times faster than the previous generation
- Scanning area: 225 × 250 mm, with a 300 mm stand off distance and 250 mm depth of field
- Lightweight and compact: about 0.85 kg (1.9 lb) measuring 77 × 122 × 294 mm
- Truly portable: fits in a carry on case for use in house or in the field
