Guidance tools
Guidance tools provide visual guidance feedback on positioning targets when creating a setup, which is especially useful for nonexperts requiring guidance when making their first setups.

Leveraging new ISO 10360 certifications and setup assistance tools, this latest generation of the MetraSCAN 3D lineup aims to provide professionals with sophisticated tools to optimize their operations. Enabling the simple and precise measurement of large parts, the expansion of this lineup marks a strategic move by Creaform to meet the evolving needs of quality control experts.
 
Engineered to optimize workflow and enhance outcomes in any given condition for experts and nonexpert users alike, these new solutions introduce the following standout features.

New automatic volume extension specification
The scanners now offer an accuracy specification of up to 0.025 mm + 0.015 mm/m (0.0009 in. + 0.00018 in./ft) in the extended measuring volume, ensuring trust in the performance and accuracy of the QC process on large parts.

Control tools
Control tools give full control on minimum targets’ visibility to allow acquisition and control of equipment behavior for minor or highly demanding applications.
 
“Just like our customers, we strive to deliver high quality and reliable products,” says Mathieu Desmarais, product manager at Creaform. “With these new acceptance tests and advanced features, we are making sure that we deliver optimum performance needed for metrology professionals, no exceptions. This way, Creaform ensures the simplest measurement accuracy with the highest quality standards.”

Troubleshooting tools
This feature offers advanced setup diagnostics, making it possible to validate jig or part setup deformations from any cause (e.g., thermal, impacts) with a single click.

(Creaform: Lévis, Québec) — Creaform, a business of AMETEK and worldwide provider of automated and portable 3D measurement solutions, has released MetraSCAN BLACK+, MetraSCAN BLACK+|Elite, and HandyPROBE Next+, the latest versions of its suite of optical CMM 3D scanners and probes.

Rigorous acceptance tests
Guaranteeing confidence in the stated specifications, the sensor acceptance test procedure is based on ISO 10360, an international standard that ensures intense testing to define specifications and qualify sensor performance. Performance tests are done at Creaform’s ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited laboratories, which ensures the quality of facilities and equipment, the traceability of artifacts, and the quality of validation methods.

360° magnetic targets
Visible from all angles, these reusable and durable targets are easy to set up, automatically detected for automatic management and data cleanup, and help deliver fast results.
