Creaform, a business of Ametek, and a worldwide provider of automated and portable 3D measurement solutions, announces its participation in Formnext 2024. At the event, the company will demonstrate its cutting-edge 3D scanning technologies designed to accelerate reverse engineering, product development and additive manufacturing processes.

At Formnext 2024, Creaform will present its latest advancements in 3D scanning technology, demonstrating how its solutions integrate seamlessly into workflows across industries such as aerospace, automotive and consumer products. From reverse engineering and prototyping to production and quality control, 3D scanning technologies play a critical role in enhancing design processes, ensuring part quality and optimizing production timelines. The company’s lightweight, highly portable scanner delivers fast, accurate 3D data capture.

One notable example of the Handyscan 3D-Silver Series in action is its use by Polyaéro for reverse engineering aircraft components as part of an electrification project. The scanner’s portability allowed engineers to scan intricate parts directly on-site without disassembly, significantly improving both time efficiency and the accuracy of component modifications. The resulting 3D models were critical in creating augmented reality interfaces, which streamlined the retrofitting process and enhanced overall precision.

Beyond the Handyscan 3D-Silver Series, Creaform will also feature its high-performance Handyscan 3D-Max Series, tailored for scanning larger objects with enhanced speed and accuracy. The Handyscan 3D-Black Series will also be on display, offering unmatched versatility and precision for capturing intricate details in complex geometries, making it ideal for high-end manufacturing applications. This technology ensures high-resolution data acquisition, making it indispensable for applications where precision is critical.

For users seeking an affordable yet powerful option, the Peel 3D scanner will be showcased, offering accessible, professional-grade 3D scanning for smaller projects and hobbyists. The Go-Scan 3D, Creaform’s versatile and user-friendly portable scanner, will also be on display, designed for quick, simple data collection in product development, reverse engineering, and manufacturing workflows.

All of Creaform’s scanners are powered by the VX-Elements software platform, which integrates advanced processing algorithms to ensure high quality data. This software delivers fast, accurate results while maintaining ease of use for both experienced and new users. With instant visualization of the scanned data, users can quickly identify and address any design or production issues, making VX-Elements a key component of Creaform’s scanning ecosystem.

Whether it’s verifying the dimensional accuracy of 3D-printed parts or reverse engineering components for production, Creaform’s suite of 3D scanning solutions provides manufacturers with the tools they need to innovate efficiently. From small parts to large assemblies, these scanners offer the versatility, speed, and precision required in today’s fast-paced manufacturing environments.
