Portable 3D High-Tech Measuring Systems For The Metalworking Industry

Creaform, leader in portable 3D measurement solutions and 3D engineering services, presents the latest developments in 3D metrology solutions to the metal processing and manufacturing industry. The Creaform devices are characterized by efficiency, flexibility and user friendliness, regardless of the measurement environment.

3D measurement systems are used in the metal sector for a wide range of applications. These include the 3D inspection of stamping molds, sheet metal parts, sub-units and body in white geometry conformity check, part-to-CAD comparison, conformity check after assembly and soldering processes, reverse engineering, soldering jigs control and adjustment. The diversity of possible applications in one company requires flexible and mobile systems, which can be operated easily by different users and thereby provide reliable results.

Users of the Creaform system benefit from the portability of the measurement equipment as they can just bring it to the part which needs to be measured. The integrated TRU accuracy technology ensures highly-accurate measurements, regardless of the measurement environment. Indeed, instabilities, vibrations and thermal variations have absolutely no impact on the accuracy of the Creaform technologies, and this plays an important role in the metalworking industry, as production areas are often exposed to instabilities and different temperatures.

Depending on the application, Creaform offers tailored customer solutions: the HandyPROBE mobile CMM for tactile measurements, the MetraSCAN 3D, Handyscan 3D and Go!SCAN 3D portable 3D scanners for scanning tasks. As for automated 3D inspection of parts on the production line, Creaform now also offers the MetraSCAN-R robot-mounted optical CMM 3D scanner. For more information, visit creaform3d.com
