Creaform EXAscan Scanner is the first generation of HandySCAN 3D scanners, recent line-up of innovative handheld laser scanners developed and manufactured by Creaform are Creaform HandySCAN 300, Creaform HandySCAN 700

EXAscan model featured the highest resolution and accuracy, equipped with a third high definition camera, located in the upper central section, which greatly increases the scanning resolution as well as the data acquisition accuracy. The EXAscan also boosts a new automatic multi-resolution function enabling it to automatically set the optimum resolution level of the data acquired, according to the type of surface it is scanning.

Based on the same powerful technology that made the Handyscan 3D so successful, this self-positioning and truly portable laser scanner offers great cost effectiveness, since it doesn’t require any additional CMM arm or other external tracking devices. It is also very easy and quick to use

The EXAscan brings a resolution approximately 5 times greater as well as an accuracy about 2 times higher than that of Handyscan 3D line-up’s first scanner, which proves greatly useful for scanning highly detailed surfaces and small objects in many fields such as aerospace, automotive, biomechanics, consumers products education, heritage preservation & architecture and multimedia. Its applications run from reverse engineering to design and manufacturing, inspection, digital mock-ups and simulation.

The EXAscan is also powered by VxScan, Creaform’s proprietary data acquisition software that supports the Handyscan 3D laser scanners line-up. VxScan provides real time 3D rendering visualization, is easy to learn and to use and also offers great flexibility and powerful options such as surface optimization algorithms, meshing optimization and sensor auto-calibration.

Applications and Solutions
Inspection: The EXAscan laser scanner is the perfect  inspection tool for analyzing and reporting geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). The direct .stl files generated can easily be imported into inspection software and quickly processed.
The EXAscan can help you with the scanning and measuring of objects of any sizes in various environments, generating inspection and colorimetric reports and:

• Non contact inspection
• First article inspection
• Supplier quality inspection
• Part-to-CAD inspection
• Conformity assessment of 3D models against the original parts/production tooling
• Conformity assessment of manufactured parts against originals.

Reverse Engineering & Styling, Design & Analysis: Facilitates surface reconstruction, class A surfacing, 3D modeling, clay model digiti- zing, mechanical design,  tooling & jigs, maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) and finite element analysis (FEA).

Other applications: Include 3D scanning of existing objects, 3D archiving, complex shape acquisition, measurements archiving, damage assessment, medical application, digital models and mock-ups, packaging design and rapid prototyping.
