Creaform has introduced the MetraSCAN 3D scanner as a complement to the HandyPROBE optical CMM. Powered by the C-Track dual-camera sensor, the MetraSCAN increases the reliability, speed and versatility of the measurement process, according to the company.

Featuring Creaform's TRUaccuracy technology, the company says the MetraSCAN ensures accurate dimensional measurements regardless of the measurement environment (instability, vibrations, thermal variations, etc.) or operator skills.

"Clearly, optics is now the future of metrology; we can already see this trend happening," says Creaform President Charles Mony. "Not only do optical measurement solutions allow greater precision in real conditions, faster setup and less maintenance, but they are also easier to use and more portable."
